I am disturbed...


I was disturbed. I am disturbed.
Here, I am praying every day to the universe for peace and equality and that is the only thing that I don’t get.
I am left here to witness the effect “money” and “class” have on the upbringing and overall personality of people.
I cannot really complain to someone that someone has money or that someone does not have money.
I am forced to remember my own experiences. I earned my education and hence I value it. I studied hard and tried to take in as much as I could. I really outdid myself in those years where I felt utterly alone and helpless. Yet, I had no time to deal with the feelings that were lurking under there. I was busy earning money and studying hard till the point I broke down. When I see someone do that, I am touched beyond measures.
Today, when I see someone taking things for granted. Then, I feel disgusted. The so-called comfort and luxury that they get which they feel fortunate about is the one thing that cripples them more than anything else.
Homes are same everywhere. So is the food and water and the other necessities of life. It is the perception of appreciation of such necessities that makes a person alive and happy.
Most importantly, none of these necessities is money.
Money is instrumental to get to them. Just an instrument.
I see money increasing the material needs of an individual beyond imagination. Individuals simply forget that what they are counting as necessities were once upon a time comforts or luxuries.
I do not understand how such an intelligent species has forgotten that instruments don’t help us survive.
We are lost in instruments. Be it mobile or internet and shopping malls and the act of shopping itself. And losing yourself in these instruments has become a norm, now.
We don’t even know whether we want to lose ourselves in these instruments or not.
We need to ask ourselves: what do we really want?
Is it the end or the means that we are bothering about???
I am disturbed.
I think this is reason enough to be disturbed.
II am
