Culture

In the process of evolution all the beings, lives and theories about living seem to be getting superior and powerful in their own reality. Notions that did not change with time have deceased. Few are blemished. And the worst of all, we are still trying the preserve what is already perished!

“Culture”, an ordinarily used word to describe predefined and well accepted characteristics and expected behavioral outlines of a particular community or a society.  Culture differentiates men from others based on religion, place, language, arts etc. In modern days culture belongs to beings. Where they go, they take their culture along with them!

The term "culture," is originally derived from Latin word “cultura”, meaning “cultivation”. Cultural means cultivation of the soul or mind. Culture is cultivation of free will and individuality under all the circumstances and in all the places with different surroundings that do not deviate from their inherent nature. It is beyond rigidity and detachment. Culture is to promote unlimited potential of man to grow. It is to create right environment for man to evolve. It is to set a way of life which every religion speaks of. It is not the same as social behavior.

Today, culture is perceived to describe behavior of individual in the community and not the free individuality. An individual is said to have deviated from his or her culture when he is living as an individual with free will without following man-made restrictions. The idea of wrongdoings has impaired the real culture which speaks about being authentic self and expressing true human emotions. The depth of human culture has been overwritten by the shallow myths created. It is mistaken for social behavior which is a narrow and over trafficked lane on which no human beings should be walking anymore.

But that is our culture nowadays. Unlimited limitations without any restrictions and free will to follow rules! Trying to fit into a society and familiar environment and striving to be different! Adapting to the old beliefs because they say the new ones are evil!

It would be incorrect of me to say that the culture has lost its meaning because I have my own culture. Culture that allows me to be myself and look beyond the limitations they have set for me, Culture that appreciates exploring free will and fulfilling my inner desire, Culture to which I belong that is beyond place, religion and language, Culture that says reality is just a myth and life is a dream!
