I think the biggest fear that we face in Nepal in our society is fear of rejection. We fear being ostracised from our society. We fear being an outcaste. We fear being made an example of what not to be. We fear being the black-sheep of the family. We fear being the butt of jokes. We fear being laughed at in family gatherings and have people look at us with disdain. We fear people looking down on us for not meeting our duty and social expectations.

In many ways, for Nepali society to operate smoothly, everyone needs to do their duty. That is why they show the people who don't do their duty with such disdain. Not performing according to your social role is such a shameful act in Nepali society, isn't it so?
