Description

Acharya Prashant explains that society's reluctance to accept the LGBTQ community is part of a broader resistance to any deviation from established social norms. He argues that people are deeply entrenched in a "script" that dictates a specific path: education, employment, marriage, and property ownership. Because this script is fundamentally false and lacks substance, it is fragile and must be protected from any alternative way of living. He notes that society is intolerant not just of sexual orientation, but of any choice that challenges the standard life cycle, such as refusing traditional education or choosing not to marry. Acharya Prashant compares people to "bricks in the wall" or "assembly line products," highlighting a deep-seated conformity. He concludes that the way to address this intolerance is through education, which helps individuals recognize and question these rigid patterns of living.
