Each coin has two sides, similarly every concept and term too has its ugly and pretty side...
Each and every aspect that people talk about, think about, dream about and worry about is somewhere related to the basic core terms called SEX and MONEY.... Everything else is a derived issue out of these two basic issues...
It might sound crazy... But I can definitely try and rationalize this....
For a clear understanding of the same, I would want you all to refer to the chart given below, its Maslow's chart showing human needs from bottom to top in basic to more advanced human needs....
MASLOW 's Chart of Human Needs
5.Self Actualization
4.Self Esteem
3.Love, Belongingness
2.Security
1.Food,Shelter, clothing, Sex
I saw a movie on human trafficking and while we all condemn that, despise that, we all have subconscious fantasies that lead to many harmful actions( either for self, others or both) ..... Need based action and greed based action is something we need to draw our attention to...
As per Maslow, in the same category of basic needs, there is a mention of Sex along with food, shelter, clothing, etc but as humans have progressed, the needs after reaching level 4, keeps on rotating within these and especially at the lowest level trying to achieve greed based satisfaction and that leads to most of the said problems in world....
Money being a mode by which all the said needs are possibly achieved , it remains at supreme level of need as its a prime requirement and then indulgence in all other needs , excess of which again calls for more money and a way to even make more money... Thus... It forms a viscous circle and most of the human beings are trapped into this until they are in face with a deadly truth of life and death when its too late to sneak out of this trap and breathe by experiencing peace and harmony within.....
The live example of this being the flourishing of cloth, food and real estate industry along with human traffickers to trade into live flesh for money making out of sexual greed of millions is a proof to the said statement that how these basic needs are all we are trapped into even after they no longer remain basic and leads to over pampering and over absorption of bodily needs which sooner or later results in disastrous mental and physical issues which at times are unfortunately beyond repair.....
To discuss on a topic like this was a need felt thought as while there are numerous other awareness topics being generated at progressive levels why aren't we trying to solve these issues at their root level itself...????
Having said this, I totally agree that its better said than done, its not easy to stop exploitation of body by means of various available options to pamper it with but a bit of focus and alertness of maintaining a line between NEED and GREED probably will help us in preventing from many mental and physical issues....
Think about it....
