Human Nature

After dealing with what I've been through, and reading what other people have been through, I felt compelled to share what I have come across in Pinterest.

Marima Abramovic is a performance artist who uses her body as a medium. One of her most memorable performances was Rhythm 0, where she is on stage, presents 72 objects for the audience to use on her, and she will not have any resistance.

Initially the audience was friendly, but after 6 hours, she was bleeding, stripped naked, with a gun to her head.

When she got up after the performance to confront the audience, they all ran away.

The best part is, this didn't take place in India, or New Delhi, but was in a European country, I believe in Italy according to tate.org.uk

When elders would tell me I'm not intelligent and I'm naive, it's probably because I didn't understand the depravity of human beings. And that uncle who said the missed match was good for his already-married daughter gave me really bad vibes as a person when I first met him after many years. An uncle or person may act nice and polite but energy doesn't lie.

If I'm over-analyzing, yes, it's a blessing and a curse.

But this darkness of human nature never occurred to me. The irony is, I got married few months before the December 2012 Delhi rape case took the headlines by storm ...... perhaps if the marriage was to happen after December 2012, I would have thought 5 or 6 times before making myself vulnerable to a person.

I hope this post gives other people some perspective. When people told me I was a nice person, I am a nice girl, etc, etc, I never understood why. And when people told me I am nice, some people seemed to have been taunting me.....

We all have impurities in our heart, but seeing those pictures of Rhythm 0 (you can google it if you wish) was quite disturbing, but it put so many things in perspective.

Sometimes I wonder what's the point of marrying for love if the person would hurt you if given the chance. But this cynical feeling towards love is only fleeting.......

I saw another quote something along the lines of "Love means making yourself vulnerable to that person to hurt you and TRUSTING that he will not hurt you"

But how can anyone happily go through life when they don't want to love anyone, or have no intention to love the person they marry, but just want to marry for their own material gain, rather than work as a team to be closer to God.

I really wanted to share this, and give perspective to others...... There still has to be love and compassion in a world with such hate......
