We always jump with joy if someone appreciates us. We can’t stand any advice given by our elders. We don’t take it in the right spirit at all. We feel that they are intruding into our privacy for no reason. We think it is none of their business to interfere. Why don’t we think in the same vain when they appreciate us? Why are we so selfish and artificial in our behaviour?.
We don’t like someone to preach us. We think that we are masters of our lives. Unfortunately not. We are mere mortals. We indulge in all sorts of silly things and we never agree that we have blundered time and again.
We accuse others for no reason. We don’t like others to point out our follies even. We never seem to learn from our mistakes and commit the same mistakes any number of times quite often. We laugh at others when we are supposed to smile at them. We think that the other person is ignorant when we are ignorant ourselves. Many people make all kinds of gestures at other people for no reason whatsoever. They don’t care how badly other people get affected if they are very sensitive and can’t retaliate. The person suffering from these repeated gestures may go into depression and may never lead any normal life. This sort of attitude shouldn’t be tolerated.
Majority of people love poking fun at others, ridicule others to the extreme and poke their nose into other people’s affairs. That’s the reason why yellow journalism is that popular in the World. What should a person do when humiliated due to colour, attire, physical and mental deformity,way of walking and way of talking?.Is this person supposed to spit back when spat, physically attack when attacked or meekly surrender, spend sleepless nights, blame the fate and ultimately commit suicide. How long a person can tolerate insults and to what extent?.
Ragging or bullying is the one of the worst things that is happening in schools and colleges all over the globe irrespective of sex. Many students suffer silently. The student at the receiving end is asked to do all sorts of humiliating things. The affected students either dropout of school or college or may commit suicide even. No one has got any right to ruin a student’s life. The authorities concerned should handle such issues firmly and show no mercy to the bullies.
How is that we don’t apologise whenever we commit mistakes and hurt the other people. Why don’t we realise that our ego is ruining our lives forever. Why do we think that others are out to malign us instead of thinking as to what went wrong with our behaviour?.
I reproduce below a Poem written by Saint Vemana in Telugu and then give its meaning in English.
” Vuppu Kappurambu okkapolikathonundu,
Chooda Chooda Ruchula jaada veru,
Manushulandu Punyapurushulu verayaa,
Viswadaabhirama Vinura Vema”
” Salt and Camphor look alike. But their tastes are different. Similaraly in men Good People are different from Bad People. Listen Vema”.
We love to talk about the things we and our kith and kin have done but when other people talk about their achievement then we consider it as boasting. Why this hypocracy?.
Why can’t we be grateful to the people, who have helped us in need. Why do we take them for granted. If helping people is that simple and easy then why don’t we do it?.
