So the world is undergoing an economic slowdown, people are losing their jobs to recession, the polar ice-caps are melting at a shockingly high rate which sooner than later will submerge the low-lying areas especially the coastal line, the strong value system of our nation has been hit for a six with more people imitating the west in the pursuit to look and sound "cool" and "urbane",the 3rd largest IT firm (satyam) frauds the common man and the duties of the so called "moral police" are being performed by the gross,malicious,profane and X-rated people.Now the question is do i care? Do we all care? Yes, we all do. But only for a few seconds,till the thought lingers fresh in our mind,after which it remains with us only as a newspaper headline,that's about it!
We are seemingly the most empathetic creatures,yet we fail to feel the profound grief of others,i am blaming no one here,because it is now a part of the basic human tendency.The impact fades away,slowly but gradually!
"Time heals the deepest wounds!" Yes,it really does,but will closing your eyes only to believe that the cat won't eat the little birdie right in front of it,help??? Unfortunately,we all close our eyes when we can't see the remorseful site,Perfectly normal i say!
But when do we actually know that the bad dream is over? and that some day or the other people like us would have to take an initiative? or that if it does happen with us,then what ??
Its time for us to stop playing the blame game,its time for us to start thinking and start walking the talk!
Act responsibly as an individual, do the little kind acts of saving the environment from degradation and be honest to yourself .Blaming is easy but doing something is difficult.Start an initiative to change yourself first,then you have a right to blame the rest.The 1st step to change the world is to change yourself .
YES,i care,so should you!

Chalta hai mindsets will produce such lethargy and overbearing despair to the sensitive. But they soon get hardened to all that goes around for their petty gains for roti, kapra and makan. Thereafter it focuses on the need for self actualization, where people do things to feel masters of those around them..the attempts are feable..and then they start communing with the god himself. QED
So at either end of the strata no one has time for real awakening to "now and here"
Search for the power within, be full of energy and joy with an attitude of gratitude and remember to remember that you can achieve anything you dream, provided you invoke that power within and direct all your energies towards achieving that dream, be it money, god or lives of those around you.
You can achieve anything, provided you don't mind who gets the credit and then of course, you have to become the change you want to see around you
I concur with every word of what you said !
ReplyDeleteI completely agree with your views. I'd like to quote our ex-prez Dr Kalam. Regarding corruption he had said, 'Even being a silent witness to corruption amounts to corruption'
ReplyDelete"I don't care" is sometimes equivalent to "I am responsible for the bad things around me".

ReplyDeleteYes, thats also the President of a socially and environmentally active organization speaking. I couldn't accede more, apparently the "its okay as long as it doesn't affect me" attitude is firmly entrenched in our society. Till every individual ( must confess includn me) realizes that we should do the best we can with what we have..the future looks bleak for this world..atleast i have taken cognition of this issue.
