TV series: Castle; Season 5 Episode 9
What the heck. This episode showed how a white man who took the decisions to steal away poor people’s homes and lands, ruining their lives forever, did all this for a money-hungry wife. And that this man ends up dead because his wife cannpt give up her lifestyle and so she kills him. I mean what the heck. Of all the things they could have shown, it all came down to hiw greedy women are the reason men do not become santa claus and give away gifts of life. It is because of the women that these men do what they do.
I mean seriously, this is infuriating.
I mean i get how greed has no gender but this series seems to follow a constant pattern of showcasing the women in its stories, in very poor, hysterical, dumb, stupid and unjustifiably stubborn light.
It is only furthering the bias existing in the society of how greed and everything evil, finds its roots in the women. Does it really?
We have this concept of how jobs and money can get men sex. That’s pure prostitution. Women sell their bodies and have sex, the most impure act humanly possible (according to their religious and moral institutions at least) for money. For comforts. For peace and relaxation.
.
Women’s want for peace and relaxation is seen as a luxury for ages now. It is still believed that standing still and lying quiet in one place, is practically inviting danger. That is how the mind is trained in tbe wilderness. To forever be alert.
Stealing a moment’s peace in the woods is indeed a grand luxury. Because you could end up dead anytime soon. People are so afraid of death. Of dying. That they forget to live quite literally.
They reproduce, hope to live vicariously through their children and grandchildren, even after they are dead. Surnames start from one human, first. The founder of that particular culture.
In India, we are obsessed with living forever and extending our lives so much so that we believe i life after death.

Enters philosophy.
While there is no killing of energy, more and more people continue to be born. The more the life, the more the death. They kill, roast, or fry, and then eat. This simple dichotomy is too difficult for the human mind to handle. And so it gives into singularity.
A single good. A greater good.
And while they are busy trying to maximise life and win against the death, the darkness, they forget how they are creating more life to die. For life is defined by death, by what it is not.
And so the mind hopes to feel at peace after creating as much life as possible. Forgetting that it is looking for peace against a perception of death. Winning against the dark. But it is creating the concept of death as it goes alpmg creating life. Like creating more reasons for its anxiety while seeking peace.
And i think it is because the concept of non-existence is too much for a mind to comprehend.
Accepting death as it learns to accept life, is too much for a mind to do. Why is that?
Mind you, this has nothing to do with being a male, female or somewhere in between. Gender is just an act. The mind is what drives the act. This was just a disclaimer for those willing to overlook this what i have her, as some feminist rant, just because it seems to have started there. While the truth is i like to see that it started from questioning biases.

My work here is becoming more and more frequent. This is me trying to put an evil eye on this immense productivity. Anyways, you can enjoy this while it lasts, a day, a week, a month or a lifetime.
