Yes we all know. The world is reducing to a big piece of exploited land, and we all are concerned, concerned spectators. It’s a hard fact to believe for some who have woken up to the damage finally though late and quite frustrating to many who have had enough of such discussions. Nothing has changed much, really I must tell you. Life and people have been the very exact like it was a decade ago or more. We might have ‘progressed’ (god bless, for the arenas in which we have!) but the pattern is still the same. It’s all about money, success and power, for all the wrong reasons. The rat race remains, trying to outrun each other, staying ahead, but what we forget is that even if we win, we will still be a rat. It really gives me a lot of things to ponder over. And I will burden myself less by handing over some of it to you. Winning the rat race will not make us anything bigger or better than just a mere rat. Apologies to all the rodents out there, I mean no offences. At least they are not inhuman like us humans, what a paradox! It really is a shame that we have a majority of the frustrated ones and the slothful ones, and very few are the ones that really care.
You’re not considered as an alarmed and an involved citizen by clicking on a petty link nor by liking a facebook page on ‘saving the environment- It’s time to get our lazy bones up to some work’, in view of the fact that we don’t really mean to tag along it, we all know it inside. How shall we recognize our duties? And adhere to it? Let us define our roles in saving the living and the non living. Talk about our priorities, figure it out again. Why do we, say for one damned cigarette, drive down wasting almost the same or more amount of petrol that we might just spend on that cigarette? Our priorities have got disfigured, we set them not according to the best that we require, but to what looks the best. Here comes the difference between a ‘want’ and a ‘need’. I might as well quote my father here, understanding and bifurcating our needs and our wants is one of the quintessential tasks in life.
The problem lies in the way we have started to think and imagine. We have stopped using our brain for ourselves, in fact we work by the opinion of others’ frame of perception and others’ use ours. It is complex and mutually unfavorable. Using it in the right way is what we need. Having forgotten our ABCs and trying to gain mastery is an utterly foolish dream.
The dropping count of tiger population is all out and known, the rising prices of petrol is one of the major headaches in the morning, there’s a hole in the ozone layer- oh well I know that one!, there is indefinite inflation and the economy is falling! I heard the glaciers are all melting and there would be extreme summers this year too, there are a lot of poor animals that are suffering out in the world, (though I won’t hesitate smashing that one little harmless ant I see walking in the garden. No they aren’t animals mind you.) OR. I will work out solutions to all these matters that I am aware of to the best of my possible efforts. Being Mr. do-it-all not just know-it-all. Doing all that is within our reach is the most effortless step in being a contributory factor to this world. Enclosing ourselves in a room of false notions about oneself is the first thing we need to get out of. God never made us in breeds nor put us in categories, so we surely have that liberty and capability to be what we want to be and also what we think we cannot be. Remember, each and every little positive step counts and makes a difference. Why wait? Act.
