Sowbagyavathy Raji Ram,
Greetings. In my opinion, inspirations are required to the downtrodden persons. I consider this song (
YouTube - Christina Aguilera - Beautiful ) very inspirational since it addresses the persons living with a stigma. One has to only read the comments posted for this song.... This song had inspired 1000s of people.
I did not have a pleasant childhood. ஊருக்கு இளைத்தவன் பிள்ளையார் கோவில் ஆண்டி; அடியேன் ஊருக்கு மட்டும் இல்லை, வீட்டுக்கும் இளைத்தவன். I have been bullied all my childhood, physically and psychologically. My wife grew up in the same village, same street; even now she could not believe, I could be cheerful and jovial after all the bullying I went through. It takes a lot of courage to commit suicide. Sometimes people give up the attempt at the last possible minute; few times over.
Only when I was 18 yrs old, I realised, there was nothing wrong with me, but there was something wrong with the persons bullying me. That time I was employed, earning Rs.75 per month (no typo). But my confidence level.... it was so high, it would have put 'Deewar' Amitabh to shame (Not my words; that was the comment by my friend's wife). Because, i believed in myself.
This song is about believing in oneself. "No matter what they say......words can't bring me down!" That's why this is an inspirational song.
Cheers!
