Social Stigma
Yesterday, while I was travelling in a bus which was almost
empty, a woman got in carrying a basket full of fish. She sat in one of the
seats, as I wondered how such people were allowed in buses. But then, I felt
sorry for her and hated myself for thinking like that. But surprisingly, I was
not the only one who treated her that way. Nobody else in the bus were ready to
sit next to her, though it was closer to the door. It was in fact for some
other reasons, rather than the smell of the fish. Yes, it was that kind of
social stigma. I got up and sat next to her. She smiled at me.
I did my part. Now it is your turn. Let’s break
the Social Stigma!
