Hi guys, We all want to be accepted by whatever family, community that we find ourselves in. Being rejected by our friends, family, community and people in any way can be a very painful experience. This is a subject that has come up in sajha in many different ways. I wanted to revisit it.  A cousin brother of mine was rejected from our baun family and community because of his lack of accomplishments. His childhood background was unstable so he tripped educationally. We all know how little tolerance that Nepali community in general has for these things. My relatives and baun community took this as a sign that this guy was unworthy of respect as a human being. Stereotypically, bauns in Nepal to be very chalaakh. The bauns in my community took it that because my cousin tripped educationally that he was not chalaakh and chaalu as they were. I have laure friends who have experienced the same thing. Their relatives really valued army life and being in the military. Some of these guys did not want to join the military and because of this their family and relatives really looked down on them. These guys feel rejected by their community. I know other guys in the Newar community. These guys are expected to establish their own name in business. The ones that cannot do this are rejected from their family and community. They will not be able to marry girls from nice familys in Newar community. This is a form of social rejection. Are you part of an ethnicity that knows someone who experienced this form of rejection? What does your community value that if you did not attain, you would be rejected from that community?

All living things practices rejection and when and how it happens varies. To watch it closely, you have to to go to nature. They play and follow the safest survival guide lines they had inherited from the beginning of evolution. If you watch animals they try until they can do it and it can not be carried forward  and be an liability to the crowd and the race. They abandon their own to move ahead but we the smartest living creature in the earth are very selfish. Our selfishness are out of line and beyond  the logic. We all are racing to be super in every aspects and we forget the nature and it's limitation. We do not care about the gene and the DNA's impact in our life ( our parents did not know it and still 90% of the universe do not know it) otherwise they would not be fighting for a desire for Male child which is the combination of chromosome and out of our hands. But new Educated person try to defraud human coming with new solution to overcome the nature. It is possible now but if we practice nature, we must live the out come to the nature. So those educated people become clever and clever and alluded general people and made their own rule and regulations which is now called culture. So, when people become too smart they outcast themselves and they make hard and unachievable standard to meet so they can preserve their race. What can we say, it is all over the world, every body racing to preserve and make super race and if their own lacking behind are not considered is nothing but lack of wisdom and logic, lack of love and affection which is suppressed by other goal which is beyond human control. Yes, we must have some goal to attain but we must consider other things too.  We are just following the same norm or trying to groom as kings son will be king, politicians child must be politician ( which is the easiest way to make But we still carry the gene our ancestor had carried thousands and thousands years ago. And people were divided according to their works they choose and are the best. So we should not be sruprised if a bramin family involves in fighting or in business or carpentry. My sympathy to all the human being  who are abandoned.

Syanjali, Thanks for your post. As painful as it is for the individual, I think that abandoning people who don't fit a certain criteria has its benefits also. It is nature's way of preserving traits that are considered beneficial. The logic is: what is the point of encouraging traits that are not beneficial. Specific to Nepal though, I feel that one reason we are so jugdemental as a society is because we have a very narrow standard of what is acceptable traits in our society. I think that we are very quick to reject people who don't fit a narrow standard. I feel that the more resources that a society enjoys, the more open-minded it tends to be about what is acceptable. The fewer resources that a society has, the more close-minded people are. I feel that this is why Nepal and Nepalese are close-minded.
