Do you know when arrogance or pride arises in a person? It happens when something they have believed in for a long time is declared false. This could be love, servitude, trust, habit, God, caste, or religion-anything.The moment a person realizes that their belief was an illusion, their entire life feels like a lie. It is in that moment of disappointment-when they recognize, accept, and attempt to change themselves and the next generation-that social evolution and reform take place.Not everyone needs to have the same beliefs. Do beliefs shape life, or does life shape beliefs? I leave that debate to the universe.I am not an enemy of any belief. But I am always ready to challenge beliefs that devalue human dignity and to cleanse minds of such ideas.What can I do? Poetry is my only power!
