Disclaimer:
This is purely my line of thought and is by any means not against the philosophy of ‘life is beautiful’ preached by people who are above my intellectual level. I would for formality feel sorry, if anyone is offended.
I know I am a bit pessimistic in my claim but everything is relative. What is pessimistic approach to you might be realistic for someone and hence I am going forward with my thoughts. The above topic is related to today’s life that is seen in this fast growing world. Without an iorta of doubt, the world today is fast shrinking and the sad part is that it’s becoming uglier in geometric progression. The world is full of violence, hatred, crime, sex, rape, murder, genocide, terrorism, fraud, cheat, whores, gays, humbug and what and what not. When you put all the good things that are happening in this world in one side of a balance and then put all the bad things on the other side of the balance, then which side is the balance going to fall or already fallen???
What do I call this episode of life, wherein there are more questions than answers? I am too old for a ‘teen age crisis’ and too young for a ‘middle age crisis’. But still lots of unanswered questions arise seeing life everyday. Why is this world degrading day by day? Why is there not even an element of ethics followed? Why is there no place for peace on earth? Why are people fighting in the name of God? Why is there political mileage gained on every single episode? Why is money the only target for most of this 6 sensed life on earth?
Some old saying goes like Violence begets violence begets violence. Now, the situation is somewhat different. Money begets greed begets sex begets violence begets loss of life. ‘Kali kalam’ is what we say… but the saddest part is that it has just started. I do agree that without Money, there is no life. But Money is not the ONLY thing in life. There are lots of things which has to be placed above in the ‘to get’ ladder of any individual. Of all things, why Money??
Why at all there is something called ‘sex’; why there is something ‘pleasure’ in it. Why is it that this cosmos seems to been deluged with semen and vaginal fluid? Why is that no human being escapes the arrow of Kama. Why atall is this mode of procreation necessary? Why not asexual procreation be in for human too? There is more of Lust than love. Some one put it so beautifully, when stressing their point of argument against the celebration of Valentine’s Day that ‘Kadalin anaagareegamana velipadu kamam; kamathin athi-anaagareegamana velipadu kadalar dinam’ which I would translate it thus. ‘An indecent expression of love is lust; a more indecent expression of lust is the celebration of Valentine’s Day’. I still am not able to digest the funda of celebrating something in public, when it’s to be done in the confinement of 4 walls. This is leading to more violence and law and order situation in urban places. Spots such as beaches become places of filth. ‘Public Brothel’ should be an understatement. Sex, in today’s youth has received more importance than that it deserves. For all good things, man claims to be six sensed and civilized and what and what not? But if it comes to sex, why does he stoop down under the level of dogs. Even dogs follow some order within the groups. Disagree? Dogs don't gang rape. Huh.
In one of the public discussion forums, some youngster said it precisely… if you make a man starve for food for 10 days and then feed him food; he will barge into the food and eat it like anything. Now, consider the same situation, when you offer him food along with women, he doesn’t even want food. He goes straight to women! Huh… Is that not true? So, sex for the man is not something which is same as food, water or air. It’s something beyond that. It’s something sillier than that. It’s something cheaper than that. It’s something uglier than that. It’s something insane. It’s something to do with the upbringing. It’s something to do with culture.
This is predominantly what that makes me cry foul. One main factor for my point of argument in ‘Life is Ugly’ is this God forbidden sex. Men are 6 sensed beasts. The extra sense is that of a sense that the beast is previlaged enough not to have. Why not be an Ekpathni Virathan? Why not be loyal to your better half both mentally and physically? Why trade on flesh, of all things? Huh. Men stink bigger when they live than when the mortal remains decay. Ovaiyar said, ‘Arithu arithu maanidarai pirathal arithu!’… See what man does with his life? He goes around naked looking for the slightest smell of flesh.
Oh God! Take care atleast when you create the next world. Let there not be lust but love. Let there not be money but wealth. Let there not be Mankind but 5 sensed animals. Man does not bring glory to your creation. He only brings in filth to the glory.

i wud rate or rather (i dont deserve to rate it) think this is something which has come straight from writer's heart because of perplexions in and around him.
in spite of having numerous good points, there are some wrong points mentioned. i wud like to mention them not to prove writer wrong but to see the other side of court.
"Now, consider the same situation, when you offer him food along with women, he doesn’t even want food". this is statement made by the writer. truly sarcastic or rather irrelevant. this statement reminds me a incident took place in afghan which was then telecasted by NDTV. this was at the time, US literally bruised entire afghanistan. one small child of age 4 or 5 yrs asked her aim in life, she said "only aim in life to earn a loaf of bread" and same question asked to her brother around 10 to 12 yrs, his reply was different "to have 2 loaf of breads,........." after that he said something, everyone tempts to think that he wud have said, "one for me, one for my sister" here is his reply "both for her sisters, one for today and one after 1 week, when she is terribly hungry after 1week". i was moved in a great way with tears inside eyes when i saw this in TV.
conclusion is that, after 10 days,
i dont think anyone will go for sex, rather having his life back and gain strength. s,u r correct, that man after gaining strength having food, will search for that girl offered to him to have sex with her. (laughing).
"Dogs don't gang rape". even humans while doing gang rape, altogether, all of them doesnt jump into her. normally, those guys never have understanding, but in these situations, their understanding level goes sky high, one by one starts and finishes (others watch him doing), typically like dogs, while one dog does it, others watch it. u r correct that we have fallen to the third rate of being dogs, but not beyond that, atleast as of now. may b, we may reach even that level. in this context, u r correct.
"He goes around naked looking for the slightest smell of flesh." this is another line, which i need to mention, i think, sorry i am sure, that writer has kept me and quoted that. the only difference is the perception with which the word "smell" is seen by me and the writer.
hahaha... that NDTV episode is not in scope of my writing just because the boy is still 12 years old. if it would have been a man, even if you would have given him 3 loafs of bread, he would have left all those behind him and gone doing the unmentionables.
Also, it seems you acknowledge 'gang rapes' by the explanation. That was a sarcastic comment from my side to prove a point that men are like dogs when it comes to sex.
