Gender, Right, & Wrong.

The concept of right and wrong, good or bad, forbidden and acceptable, greatly varies between men and women. Some say women have more rights than men, while others say that men are allowed to do stuff that women, just can't.

Religious wise, whats forbidden for men is forbidden for women. But the great religious men that are sweeping the minds of people today, from sheikhs, to priests, have greatly corrupted the society.

Example, in the world today, especially in the Arab world, if a man has sex before marriage, then its totally normal, totally acceptable, and people even poke fun and become sarcastic if he doesn't. Staying a virgin when your a man in the Arab world is such a shame! I, for an instance have heard many of my acquaintance show off and brag about losing their virginity.
Now, if a woman loses her virginity before marriage, or even kisses someone outside her marriage, then she is quickly labeled as a slut, whore, slut, and many other profound names.
In brief, both acts are wrong, both acts are a sin towards religion and towards ourselves. Whats even worse is that those who perform such acts think of religion as a very sensitive subject and they don't accept anyone telling them they're wrong! They say its okay for man to do so, but not for a woman... Why? A wrong act is a wrong act whether for men or women!

Another example is the issue of alcohol drinking! They say drinking is wrong but its "less wrong" than other acts so we do it just for fun, and God is merciful and he will forgive us when we pray and go to pilgrimage and feed the poor and all that....! Lets just think or imagine for a moment that you went out, had sex, drank alcohol, thinking that God will forgive you when you do all those mentioned above, but while your driving, you have a car accident and you die! What happens then? You wont be able to redeem yourself or exonerate your soul from the filth. No one knows when he or she might die! Think, don't just act! Act and stop reacting!
A wrong act is a wrong act! Period!

This is just a mere example of the infection the society is facing. Everyone is drowning in their swamps of ignorance! Lets all stop judging others and lets be awake, aware, and conscious about what we are doing with our lives and with our souls and spirits!

The key is to be aware! Awake! No more following other's shoes, no more wanting to be accepted by society or by our friends, accept yourself, love yourself to be loved!
