By Birth

By Birth

So you are born in Nigeria with black skin, protruded lips, nice ass.

I am born in India with middle class mindset, brown skin, developing nation status.

There is Nike, born in US with white-flawless skin, health insured, free education, etc.

A chap called Hope, born with an incurable ailment to ultra rich parents and there is also Kranti born out of a rape incidence.

A tribal born in the Chattisgarh state of India, who is not allowed to enter any temple and drink scarcely available water around his village from the community well.

As it goes, we keep on fighting for every little thing that can affect our life from any closest to any remote, corner, throughout our life.
But, we hardly notice that most of the things that have the deepest impact in shaping our lives are those which are neither in our hands nor I think in anybody else’s.
For example: your parents, your name, your nationality, your religion, your caste, your societal status, your physique, your skin texture, your health, your perceived mental caliber, etc. etc.

When you are not even aware of your birth, so many of your life variables and constants have already been decided. Of course, you can change them in your life later on, but based on these “By-Birth” parameters, there are a lot many things that different people, society and even you, perceive about you.

As it is so commonly said, “First impression is the last impression”, same goes very much true here. And it is the fight against those “By Birth” parameters, which have limited and defined the scope of your life.
How many of us can wage that fight?
How many of us can win that fight?

For sure very few can.
But then as the Darwin theory says, it’s the survival of the fittest.
When you are fighting against something that is “By Birth”, then you have to be a Gladiator and nothing less.
Our life is an equation of variables and constants.
But always remember one thing, NOTHING IS CONSTANT.
