THE NOISE

At Enslaved 2.0, we are providing a wholesome experience of covering modernities, yet there’s a need to understand what should be our next step. To understand the ray for the way forward, we will be concluding our event on some spirituality driven advice of where we should go from here and what should be our next course of action. Our concluding note at Enslaved 2.0 will be the most important one after a day full of contending modernities, and will be answering this significant question; “Where Do We Go From Here?”

In current times, addictions in its various forms are prevalent extensively in our society and addressing it is the need of the hour. Living in a society where it’s a trending culture of mass advertising and glorifying excessive consumption of all sorts of content and the near instant gratification of desires. “Having more and having now” is an urge now which started off as a fashion, proves to have a domino effect, and in turn, unconstrained desires which only grow stronger each time they’re fed, whilst some even turning into overriding intimidations. In such chaos of intellectual ambiguity and other such prevalent notions , Enslaved 2022 aspires to give a balanced Worldview and a moderate outlook, in order for a view of self reformation to be established.

With relationships, come complications, and complications, can lead to aversions. This causes turmoil and disorder in our lives. Often, we are confused between something being a result of fleeting temptations, or developing real feelings. Contemporary society tends to propagate the idea of immediate gratification of desires and misled affections, leaving us entangled in physiological, psychological and social implications. Revolving around the harms and implications of relationships, primarily based on temptations. Focusing on the wisdom and philosophy behind discouraging ‘misdirected’ affections and encouraging deeper more meaningful bonds in the Islamic context. This episode of Misdirected Love, inspires to highlight the basic inadequacies of prompt indulgence of desires based on the misconceptions about Love.

With this topic, we hope to clear out doubts that are prevalent in contemporary society and the contextualization of this very important issue in the Islamic framework! The origin of this ideology, the premise on which it is based, the conceptions surrounding it and much more to be commented upon. Over time, the intensity of the discussion around this issue has increased exponentially, and there prevails a lack of clarity in opinions regarding the LGBTQ discourse. Amidst all the prevailing confusion, we aim to cut through the fog and have a comprehensive dialogue regarding Gender Fluidity and LGBTQ+. Under this umbrella, we shall revisit the origins and look for lessons in history. We will also cover some of the basic validations for the LGBTQ argument, and the idea that Gender identity is a social construct which doesn’t necessarily have to be biological.

Introducing our fourth topic; Living a Life of Purpose. A life with a vision tends to give a big picture, consisting of components such as spirituality, mental and emotional wellbeing, relationships, and career. If we begin to analyze the problems surrounding us, we will begin to understand that most of us are deprived of a vision that we need to live ‘by’ and have a purpose to live ‘for’. When it comes to living a life that is inspired by a purpose, we need our resources and independence of intellect to identify the right one. For this very assertion, we need to seek mentorship in individuals who can guide and counsel, and inspire with a drive that can guide life decisions, influence behaviour, give a ray of hope and direction. Living in times where the idea of ‘Live and Let Live’ is not only common, but idealized amongst the masses, basing the entire philosophy of life around this very notion, and then struggling to find meaning in one’s life. Because yes, everyone is indeed entitled to their own opinions, but in this framework, if we fail to create meaning and make a difference, then there is a major lacking in this ‘life of purpose’.
