AUTONOMY

This is New year's first post and after a long hiatus...thought of writing a topic about which i strongly believe.
'Autonomy' a very powerful word...the freedom of power to take decisions for yourself.It seems quite ordinary that what is so big deal about it ?If you think a little deeply just how many people have this power?
How many kids are given freedom to choose a career they want to persue?
How many daughter-in-laws have freedom to wear their choice of clothes once they enter a joint family...forget about clothes..the freedom to go out with their husbands or freedom to cook food of their choice?People living in Metros or cosmopolitan cities may find it a non existing thing but this a reality in rest of our country.
Let me decide for myself what is right or wrong for me.Let me be my own boss,my own decision maker.Let me watch my actions...leave me free...let me flourish...let me open my wings...Dont put me in shackles....This is what my heart says when i see people without 'Autonomy' in their life...and the worst thing is they never demand it...may be they dont know what it is to be free or they dont have the strength to fight for this right...they'll lie,they'll hide...will do everything but fight for this right which i believe is as important as any fundamental right.
Each one's life belongs to themselves...why waste it living according to others?It may be selfish ,it may be mean but just to fit in somebody else's right norms why do people ignore/overlook their own norms.
I feel glad and blessed that i have been given the power and right to live as per i feel right,it makes me feel stronger,independent and congrtas everyone who has this right and knows its worth!
