Some time back i received a joke on whatsapp, which goes like this :
Teacher : Children, the world is round.
Jack : But Ma'am my dad says the world is MOTHER FU**ER.
That one message summaries a plethora of books, and wise sayings and biographies. Just look around you , you will see that everywhere , everyone is trying to do you over, be it your boss, your colleagues, your associates and even your relatives. People since childhood have an expectation from themselves that they will be king some day but they forget that there is only one king and rest are all subjects, but they don't find solace in that fact. Once they realize that they can't be king, they then start struggling for being at least a lord, again the fact is that lords are still very few in number, then they try to become at least a local leader, still if they fail in that they try and become the Whip holder of the household, with an illusion of control in their head and trying to assert themselves on everyone around them , without realizing that they are simply spreading hate and anguish around themselves, esp among the only few people who will genuinely come forward to help them if so they ask or need.
Yes , i don't expect that the world be full of Florence Nightingale's, or Mother Teresa', but at least people can mind their own business. Yes if my doing something is affecting you in a way that its making YOU uncomfortable - not your morality or beliefs or opinions- then you must interfere and convey your displeasure, but life is not so simple. We immediately start hypothesizing that this will lead to this and then that would lead to that and in a hundred years so much damage will be done and etc etc. Average human life expectancy is around 74 years, out of that after 50 you are busy trying not to die than to live. Diseases start creeping on, body starts failing you, there's not much that you can do which you really enjoy, and the first 20 years of your life you are busy trying to reach somewhere so that you can be independent from your parents and do what you really want to do. so by the time you get a job and feel that you can take decisions you are 25. For a brief time of 25 years you have the ability and resources to fulfill your desires, do you really want to loose these 25 years? and those who keep interfering with lines of people around them with their hallowed opinions about success and failure do you really want to steal away these 25 years from someone that you really care about? If you really care about someone, you should help them , and not pass judgment or opinion.
People around you are bothered about you in only a few scenarios, One if they expect from you that you will give them something, Or if you can give them something in near or far future, Or if they expect that they can take something from you . The moment that all the above three scenarios become invalid, people will stop asking even if you are alive or dead. So don't worry about the world, worry about the few people in the world who touch your life in a way everyday. You can't make anyone happy if you are not happy yourself, a kid who wanna be a singer, but becomes a doctor because it was expected from him, might make himself useful to a lot of people but he isn't happy from the inside, let him be a singer, there will be enough doctors in the world. God made us humans as a blessing, don't discard this blessing by living life like a cow - tied to a post, so people can milk-, or a sheep - following the shepherd blindly-, be a human and live like one, be independent in thinking and break free, because we need thinkers more than we need followers.
Remember that no matter what you will do, you will always be a threat to a greedy someone, or a failure someone who thinks that you are eating up his share of food, drinking his share of water, and breathing his share of air. Don't let that selfish person dictate your thoughts and never be that person yourself.
ONE MAN'S BREAD IS OTHER MAN'S POISON
THE WORLD HATES YOU
