Many countries are slowing moving more towards a liberal approach towards the likes of its citizens. Even I can see similar approach from several religious organizations as well. This is not just commendable, but need of the future. Across the world people are showing decline in their confidence in Political leaders, Religions and similar public institutions. With information at their fingertips, all feel empowered to make decisions of life without any influence. From the beginning we have a tendency to try out things that are forbidden. In that sense more the restrictions more the violations. There comes the idea of free living.

 

I hear this situation in Italy. Once illegal drugs smuggling and consumption were increased among citizens, government eased the rules and permitted few for recreational use. Afterwards not only drug distribution chain came under government control but also public consumption got reduced significantly. Similar approaches can be seen like countries like United States and Canada. Similar to this I can relate to Same Sex marriages. Let us respect the diversity of the world we see. Still, many are facing hell due to the restrictions imposed by religion or government. It is said that half of the total women population experienced some sort of sexual violence in life time. Also 1 in 5 girls and 1 in 20 boys are said to be victims of child sexual abuse. This situation includes that of developed countries. We live in a world where real-life porn is accessible even from mobile devices, then why not allow brothels within the framework of law. Countries like Netherlands can be taken for example. May be, restrictions are only the cause that fuel these crimes. Are we caring disabled enough in our existing law and order? Flora and Fauna? What about gambling? Considering the revenue it brings and jobs that will be created, if allowed in any economy. Let people experience good and bad in their own way then decide on their destiny or let the system guides through the right way. All these/similar conditions, will eventually fade away one day, but why not today! Shouldn't we be rethinking our present!
