Re: Saddle up your high horses, Here comes Trouble

Thank you psyah for clarifying my points

**By saying something is “common” may be understood by some people as something is “acceptable”

You word it well. I am not saying it is acceptable. I am saying it is becoming and is prevalent.

** … on the other hand if we recognise that a problem is becoming more common with a mind to correct it … then we should correct it, by keeping the taboo in tact.

I believe that the problem can be corrected only if we acknowledge there is a problem. If we are not aware of the prevalent corruption of society in general, how are we to know what to warn our children against?

I feel we can become more concerned with breaking “taboos” than we are at resolving problems. My understanding is that the “taboo” itself is not a factor that creates the problem, but it does supress it … alongside the taboo we need to guide people to the wisdom in “avoiding” such things.

For years we have been bombarded with love songs and relationship dramas … I would not be surprised if zina is widespread in Pak. But I try to express the topic in a way where the taboo is preserved.
