Public Display of Affection (PDA)
"I mean I really don't understand why do a married couple need a sanction from the rest of the world to share a kiss in public????" (This was written in other person's post and below is my reply)
for this point of yours, I think Sarath has very beautifully explained what I wanted to say. (his reply was..)
"i agree with most of ur points over here except a few ...... the main point itself [showing public affection]....
Lets leave the case of these shits RamSena or whoever it is who have no basic idea but to create a hype over these things and come over in the news.... But my point is we Indians have a tradition which does neither oppose the principle of public affection nor support that .... The tradition has come from within the society where our affections are confined to our homes .... I don't say its a crime but showing affection by hugging might be the upper limit rather than going for the kissing"
(here continues my reply)
Displaying our affection for our loved ones can be considered as good only if its in limits of decency. Now this definition of "decency" is also different for different societies. For the Americans kissing in public maybe allowed, but think of Indian society. Isn't it a taboo? We love doesn't mean we cross our limits. Take the case of Akshye-Twinkle zip case. They do whatever they wish in their bedroom. But in public they need to have some restrain over themselves.
"I have freedom of speech" doesn't mean i can go and abuse others. Does it?
"I have freedom of expression" doesn't mean i can whatever i wish. It doesn't mean i could cross the limits of decency set by society.
And believe me, society doesn't include the ill-minded people like the fews who did mangalore incident. It was a cheap act which was done for some political mileage.
If we think society includes such people, we need to change our perception.
Society is composed of people like us. And so for betterment of our future generations and for preservation of our culture and traditions, we need to sacrifice few "unwanted" desires and whims of ours.
