Soliloquy 6

O my mind! Why are you agitated? They are foolish. People just see the outer appearance. They crave to see the outer appearance, the body. They will only be able to see the outer appearance. It is their way of objectifying women. But you are not what they think, you are not what they know. A piercing look can never violate anyone. Then why are you feeling violated? They can't ever violate you. What you are feeling now has been constructed socially. It is not your fault. Their looking in that way and your feeling in this way, both have been the results of the social upbringing. It has been nailed down both in your and in their brains. Break the shackles of the societal construct and become free. Become aware and become free. You are not defined by just the body, so be comfortable with your body. There is nothing to be ashamed of, nothing to hide. If the person can not respect you, it is his problem. You can't reform him at that moment, leave him to that pathetic state; ignore him unless he tries to harm you in anyway. But if he tries to harm you, be brave and aggressive. In the jungle, predators stare as they look out for the prey and the prey fears that look because it is weaker than the predator. Don't fear, don't be the prey. Don't become the predator, but be aware of your power and show it when needed.
