If we categorize humans, based on their age and gender and keep the society out of the equation to make it simple, you will notice some striking similarities.I feel that everyone is exactly equal when we came out from our mother's womb (keeping abnormalities like mental and physical illnesses out of the equation).Whether you are rich or poor,whether you are from America or Africa.Then we are slowly conditioned by the society around you to adopt its rules and develop your character accordingly.But before that conditioning and even after that conditioning, people show some striking similarities at various stages of life....particularly during the young and the old, it is very significant....
Example:The child psychology is not different for an Indian and an American.They behave in a similar manner. Then comes the teens.When the body undergoes some rapid changes and brings changes even in the mental state by producing and pumping some new hormones, the entire thinking of an individual changes.He/She sees the world from a different point of view.The feelings of sexual attraction are absent in case of children but suddenly sprang up when they grow up to teens.The reason is hormones.There are many other hormones which cause different feelings like anger, sorrow and more.
When I thought about the reason for the sexual harassment and other cases, I felt that either the sexual desire for men is far more stronger than women or women are stronger in controlling their emotions.Being a boy,I felt that the former is more appropriate.Then I realized that it is physically impossible for a women to initiate sex.....She just tries to attract and it is always the man who initiates the process.So it logically fits well that body of men should produce certain hormone that drives him crazy about sex, and should be more powerful than women's hormones.These are the hormones which create a sense of false pleasure and excitement.On the top of it, people make and distribute porn, to make money.This gives some wrong impression about sex(I think so).I feel that realization of this fact and ability to discriminate your feelings automatically brings a sense of control which ultimately controls these acts
Then If you observe carefully, there is a slow but steady change in the thought process of man(though conditioned) which makes him attracted and bounded to family.Finally, comes the old age.....where people seem to forget things, tend to get too obsessive etc.... and there are some obvious striking similarities among the old irrespective of caste or nation.All this is a trick of brain and the body.It has the capability to change or create feelings which I believe are NOT our true feelings but just a mechanism of nature to ensure the existence of species.
I experienced and hence believe that at any point of time in our life, there are our true feelings and those that are just created by the brain. And it takes a lot of self inquiry to separate our ACTUAL feelings from others.There are 2 choices for any human at any point of time.To stay in control,be the master of your own feelings and discriminate between what you want and what you REALLY want.Or simply follow whatever strikes your mind and become a puppet to the body.
