Of bondages and relationships

My advertising teacher was going on and on about sex, condoms, Viagra and everything that was actually taboo to discuss and that too in a class of seventy students. While the girls all squirmed in disgust and embarrassment the guys were all having the time of their life. That is when I wondered is it really ok for teachers to get that ‘free’ with students. For that matter should this kind of free talk be encouraged among parents or others more aged than us.

I cringe when someone I respect or someone I hold high regard for talks to me about topics not normally discussed. According to me I feel it breaks that bondage of respect and brings in a sort of carelessness to the relationship. The carelessness to speak anything and everything without regard for age or relationship. I am not saying that parents should be strict with their kids or teachers should have a military attitude all I am saying is there should be a line. That line that borders between decency and vulgarity.

Talking incessantly about perverted topics is not closeness nor is it bridging the communication gap. I feel any discussion should be constructive and not spoken to have cheap pleasure. As long as the conversation is to communicate a message its fine but if it for any other reasons it should not be encouraged.

Let every relation have its sanctity. Let a father daughter relationship be that bond of parenthood and not a relationship wherein the father asks you “So how is your sex life doing?”. Let the student teacher relationship be one of respect and not one wherein your professor asks you out on a date. I might be sounding very outdated and very much orthodox but what I feel is when you’re ‘cool’ about everything in life. Life and bonds cease to have meaning to it.
