Simply Walk Away || Acharya Prashant

If you come across a lustful one, what do you do? You walk away. Now you stand in front of that person and he’s ogling and staring and measuring your body with his eyesight and you still keep standing there in front of him and then you complain. Why are men like this? Why are men like this? Men will be men when women will be women. Why don’t you simply walk away? We can start a program of social reformation obviously.

We can start a program to civilise the men folk obviously. But when you are encountering a man who is measuring you mostly by the shape and size and attractiveness of your body, then that’s not the point to keep engaging with that man. Disengage, look elsewhere, start walking. Aloo potatoes. What do you do when you come upon a rotten one? You just toss it away. You pick another one, right? You do not go to the Ministry of Agriculture and start proposing a way to have better potatoes. All that can happen in due course.
