Shades of Punishments

Its about the alternatives

By TuānPublished 3 years ago 1 min read

Maximum punishments in the world

To a leader

A child that does not obey

Is a reflection of your own mistakes

For an astrologer

A rational society

Is one that denies the stars above

To an atheist

God-fearing family

Is a paradox in itself

To a patriarch

A girl born out of penance

Is a reminder of your own transgressions

To a thief

House on Court Street

Is a symbol of your own greed

For an accountant

Poverty without incomes

Is a harsh reality of life

For an artist

A lover with no taste for art

Is a tragedy in itself

As a leader, you must learn from the disobedience of others. As an astrologer, you must understand that rationality and spirituality can coexist. As an atheist, you must respect the beliefs of others. As a patriarch, you must recognize the harm caused by traditional gender roles. As a thief, you must acknowledge the harm caused by your actions. As an accountant, you must see the human side of poverty. And as an artist, you must appreciate the beauty in all forms of expression.
