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
