Humanity has come a long way in the search for the ultimate meaning of human life, and why do we matter. While we still don’t answer the big unknowns of the world and the ultimate purpose of our lives, we do know that we just can’t sit doing anything in our society.
It is the reason that different philosophers have emphasized developing strong moral codes if you want to maintain the social fabric of the society. Apart from that, if you have a historical view of human history, you’ll find out that societies that promoted civil discourse evolved more than those where people were forbidden to talk about pressing issues of the society.
If you want to become an active member of the society you live in, and you want to make sure that you play your part in generating discourse on social taboos, and then this blog is just the thing that you need to read. You can also read The Doe site to read anonymous stories.
Here’s what you need to do:
Educate Those Around You
If you really want to bring a change, then you have to make sure that you educate others around you and share your knowledge with them. It requires a lot of patience. Therefore, you have to be prepared to listen to what others have to say. You need to make them aware of the consequences that future generations have to face because of their ignorance. Apart from that, it is important that you make them realize how their silence can become a tool of oppression for those who are underprivileged.
Use Your Position of Power for Good
If you are in any position from where you can use your influence for good, then you shouldn’t be afraid to use it. You must make sure that you preach for the cause of ending the taboos and social evils that are breaking the social fabric of your society. You have to make sure that you are not breaking any rules in the process because that is not going to help anyone.
Unlearning is Important
To learn new things, you have to unlearn a lot. It means that if you were taught something that is problematic, then you have to unlearn it. It is never too late to pick the side of history and clear your conscience. All you have to do is make sure that you are repeating the mistakes of your ancestors, and you’ll all set to play your role as a productive member of society.
Take Part in Larger Civil Discourse
If you really want to bring a change in the society and make sure that you play your part in ending social evils and taboos, then you have to take part in civil discourse and make sure that you don’t miss any opportunity that has the potential to bring a change for good.
Remember, you have a responsibility towards the society that you live in, and you must play your part in the betterment of society if you want to make this world a better place for generations to come.
