An Indecisive Stage

By: Prem Prasad Sigdel

The second greatest festival of Muslims has spread a great rumor in the Nepalese society. The calendar or the regular date of Ramadan falls today. The government has been providing holidays for the festival till it became Loktantrik.

Home Ministry yesterday didn’t have explicit decision whether it is holiday or not. The priests themselves were in the indecisive stage or they couldn’t confirm the festival. It also reflects the indecisive stage of the Nepalese society. Not only the Muslims it has affected the whole Nepalese society.

Mostly the schools and students are in confusion whether to enjoy holiday or not. The mindset of children has also remained indecisive in such condition. Children love holidays by nature; or they would be happy with the holiday to be free from reading burden. We have been teaching children such indecisive things that will affect their future seriously.

The society has been running with traditions, cultures and norms. The things that we teach to our children are the same that they can’t be stuck to one decision. Our culture has been developing in such a way that it has several negative impacts to the children rather than positive points.

We have been defining our Habitus with indecisive nature or the children have been learning the same thing what we have created to them. We have made our Habitus too narrow and useless so the impact on children would be always negative. Their stage always remains dual whether to do or not to do.

So it is one of the serious examples that we have been indecisive for several such things. The culture what we have followed is full of holidays rather than working days. This can also be one of the reasons that we have faced several negative developmental facts. Thus we should find out the way from the indecisive stage of our life to strengthen our children and their future.
