In today’s world, where media and culture often celebrate unbridled indulgence in desires, it becomes crucial to step back and reflect on the implications of lust on society. Lust, when unchecked, can lead to the degradation of values, relationships, and human integrity. From a lust-negative asexual perspective, which inherently rejects sexual desire, the dangers of lust are even more apparent, as they observe a world spiraling toward the loss of self-control and spiritual degradation. The Overexposure of Lust in Modern Society Modern society seems to be steeped in lust, fueled by constant exposure to sexual imagery, objectification, and the commodification of human bodies. The idea of self-worth is increasingly tied to physical desirability, and love is often reduced to superficial attraction. This obsession with lust degrades not only individuals but also the collective conscience of society. From a lust-negative asexual perspective, this societal obsession appears fundamentally flawed. Asexual individuals who are repelled by the idea of sexual desire view lust as a force that distorts the true essence of human connection. Instead of fostering intimacy based on understanding, mutual respect, and emotional depth, lust transforms relationships into transactions where gratification is the primary goal. In this framework, people are seen as objects of desire rather than beings worthy of respect and love. The Destructive Power of Lust Lust has the ability to erode the very fabric of human society. It often leads to objectification, exploitation, and the weakening of moral values. When individuals become overly driven by lust, they lose sight of their higher aspirations. Instead of pursuing knowledge, self-improvement, or spiritual fulfillment, their focus becomes satisfying their base desires. From the perspective of the lust-negative asexual, this drive toward fulfilling lust is not only harmful to individuals but to society as a whole. The glorification of physical desires leads to various forms of exploitation such as human trafficking, pornography, and the widespread objectification of women and marginalized groups. These are symptoms of a deeper issue: a society that prioritizes immediate gratification over long-term growth, emotional maturity, and ethical conduct. Emotional and Spiritual Degradation Beyond the physical harm that lust can cause, it also leads to emotional and spiritual degradation. Lust-driven relationships are often shallow and fleeting, leaving people feeling unfulfilled and disconnected. Emotional bonds that are based on lust tend to fade quickly because they lack a deeper foundation of trust, respect, and mutual understanding. The rise of short-term relationships, casual hookups, and the devaluation of commitment reflects this erosion of meaningful human connection. From the asexual viewpoint, true emotional connection is built on mutual care, understanding, and companionship, rather than physical attraction. Lust, in their eyes, serves to cloud judgment and prevent individuals from forming genuine, lasting relationships. It creates an illusion of connection while distracting people from nurturing more substantial bonds that could lead to personal growth and fulfillment. Moreover, lust-driven lives often lack spiritual depth. The pursuit of transient pleasures can prevent individuals from looking inward and discovering their true potential. A lust-negative asexual, who does not engage in or prioritize physical desires, is more likely to explore other dimensions of their identity be it intellectual, emotional, or spiritual. By doing so, they gain a greater sense of purpose and self-awareness. Lust and the Commodification of the Body One of the most visible signs of lust’s influence on society is the commodification of the human body. Sexuality is increasingly marketed and monetized, with people being reduced to mere objects for pleasure. Advertising, entertainment, and even social media often place a heavy emphasis on physical appearance, promoting unrealistic beauty standards and perpetuating the notion that self-worth is tied to desirability. From a lust-negative asexual’s perspective, this commodification is dehumanizing. They reject the idea that the body’s value should be determined by its ability to satisfy others’ desires. For them, the human body is a vessel of personal identity, strength, and autonomy, not a commodity to be sold or displayed for approval. This commodification has far-reaching effects on society. It reinforces gender inequality, with women and marginalized genders often bearing the brunt of this objectification. It also contributes to the normalization of sexual harassment and violence, as individuals begin to see others as objects rather than people deserving of dignity and respect. The Asexual Ideal: Connection Beyond Lust For lust-negative asexual individuals, the degradation caused by lust is deeply concerning. Their view of human connection goes beyond the physical, it is rooted in emotional, intellectual, and spiritual bonds that foster genuine companionship. In a world where lust is so often glorified, they offer an alternative vision of what relationships and society could be. The lust-negative asexual approach to connection is one that prioritizes understanding, mutual respect, and shared values. They believe that relationships built on these foundations are more fulfilling and long-lasting than those rooted in lust. By rejecting lust, they also reject the superficiality and objectification that often come with it, embracing instead a more holistic view of human relationships. In this light, society could benefit greatly from the insights of lust-negative asexuals. Their rejection of physical desire does not equate to a rejection of love or connection; rather, it is an invitation to explore deeper forms of intimacy that are not dependent on sexual attraction. These forms of connection emphasize emotional support, shared intellectual pursuits, and spiritual growth qualities that are often overshadowed in a lust-driven society. Moving Towards a Society Beyond Lust Lust’s pervasive influence has degraded many aspects of society, from relationships to values to human dignity. However, the vision of a lust-negative asexual offers hope for a society that values individuals for more than their physical desirability. It suggests a future where human connection is based on empathy, understanding, and mutual respect, rather than fleeting desires. To achieve this, there must be a cultural shift a reevaluation of the importance placed on lust and physical gratification. Society must begin to value people for their minds, hearts, and souls rather than reducing them to objects of desire. By embracing the ideals of the
Swami Vivekananda’s words, “Arise, awake, and stop not till the goal is reached,” have resonated through generations, calling individuals from all walks of life to rise above their limitations and societal barriers. His teachings, rooted in spiritual strength and self-realization, offer profound wisdom for those who feel broken or marginalized, including the asexual community a group often overlooked, misunderstood, and sidelined by a world obsessed with romantic and sexual norms. We re not made we re born as it is so called Janam Jaat Brahmachari to save humanity to stand against the lust. Asexuality in a World that Demands Conformity ( we re the actual Brahmachari needs justice). For many who identify as asexual, life can feel like an uphill battle. In a society where sexual desire is often equated with love, self-worth, and personal fulfillment, those who do not share these desires may feel isolated and even broken. The pressure to conform to societal expectations can weigh heavily on the asexual individual’s spirit, making them question their identity and place in the world. But Swami Vivekananda’s message to all who face adversity is clear You are not defined by the opinions of others. You are defined by your own strength, your inner purity, and your relentless pursuit of truth. For the asexual community, this teaching offers a powerful reminder that they do not need to fit into the world’s narrow definitions of love and fulfillment. They are whole, complete, and capable of achieving greatness on their own terms. We Re Brahmachari embrace Your Strength, Reject Society’s Judgment Be proud of yourself Swami Vivekananda firmly believed that the power of the individual lay within their ability to rise above external pressures. He encouraged every person to cultivate an unshakable belief in themselves, regardless of how society may perceive them. His words, “The world is the great gymnasium where we come to make ourselves strong,” remind us that the struggles we face are opportunities for growth, not defeat. Asexual individuals, often bombarded by the world’s insistence that they are “missing out” or “incomplete,” can find solace in this philosophy. Just as Swami Vivekananda urged people to rise above discrimination based on religion, caste, or race, he would likely champion the idea that a person’s sexual identity does not determine their value. The strength of the asexual community lies in its members’ ability to reject society’s shallow definitions of happiness and embrace their own path of fulfillment, grounded in personal integrity, intellectual growth, and spiritual purpose. Arise awake and Build Your Own Identity accept yourself first In a world that often tries to silence the voices of those who are different, Swami Vivekananda’s message is one of empowerment. “Take up one idea, Make that one idea your life, think of it, dream of it, live on that idea,” he said. For the asexual community, this idea can be one of self acceptance, selflove, and the unyielding belief that their identity is not something to be “fixed” but something to be celebrated. It is time to arise not just for yourself, but for all those who feel broken by the world’s expectations. Swami Vivekananda teaches us that true strength comes from within, and that every individual has the power to build a life that is meaningful, regardless of what society dictates. The asexual community, too, must take up the banner of self realization and reject the notion that they are defined by their lack of sexual desire, We re Proud so called Ace Natural Brahmachari and we accept ourslef as it is. Instead, let the asexual community build a collective identity based on intellectual curiosity, emotional depth, and spiritual growth. Let them stand as examples to the world that fulfillment comes not from conforming to external norms, but from living authentically and embracing one’s truth. The Pursuit of a Higher Purpose A society’s downfall comes the moment it becomes weak and obsessed with sense pleasures and forgets spiritual strength Swami Vivekananda’s own life was one of immense spiritual pursuit. He rejected material pleasures and worldly desires, choosing instead to dedicate himself to the higher cause of humanity’s spiritual awakening. He once said, “You have to grow from the inside out. None can teach you, none can make you spiritual. There is no other teacher but your own soul.” For asexual individuals, his words resonate deeply, affirming that their journey toward self-realization is a valid and worthy path. The asexual community often places high value on emotional intimacy, intellectual connections, and spiritual fulfillment. In a sense, they embody Swami Vivekananda’s ideals of self-restraint and devotion to a higher purpose. Just as he urged people to rise above bodily pleasures and seek inner enlightenment, the asexual individual finds joy and fulfillment in pursuits that transcend the physical. Unity in Diversity: Strength in Community Swami Vivekananda was a firm believer in the strength of unity. He famously declared, “We are what our thoughts have made us; so take care about what you think. Words are secondary. Thoughts live; they travel far.” For the asexual community, this serves as a reminder that the thoughts we harbor about ourselves shape our lives. If society’s judgment causes you to feel broken, rise above it. Cultivate thoughts of strength, love, and acceptance for yourself and for your community. Asexuality, like all identities, is part of the vast diversity of human experience. Swami Vivekananda would encourage the asexual community to come together in unity, to support one another, and to build a collective identity that is proud, resilient, and unyielding in the face of societal pressures. “Strength is life; weakness is death,” he said. The strength of the asexual community lies in its ability to reject the narrative that they are less than, and instead embrace the truth that they are powerful, whole, and capable of great things. Stand Strong, you are a great Souls Swami Vivekananda’s message to the world is one of empowerment, self-reliance, and spiritual awakening. His call to “Arise, awake, and stop not till the goal
