The first step..
Posted by Sree on February 23, 2008
I was speaking with one of my friend (at a tea shop) and he was shouting about the current Indian scenario. He said.. “look at our land. Poverty is still there. Lots of people don’t get proper education… (Mean time one kid came to us with two teas…)Child labor is everywhere..”
After half n hour of speech ( i was pretty bored with that..)We left the shop. That kid was looking us for some tips. But we didn’t paid a single penny..(that’s how we, we speak a lot .. but never act ..)Good… Isn’t it?
After this, while riding home i was thinking about him. He got a very good job (i don’t know, but people say that IT jobs are the best. I love to call them IT slaves…)with almost 70-80K per month. since he is one of my best friend i know about him. I never noticed him paying something towards charity or something of that sort. He still complains about this housing loans and cry for more salary..
i am left with some questions here..
By speaking publicly about helping others will stop the problem?
i can see people with 4-5k running a family in bangalor..so why we cry more ,when we get more ?
The problem is no one wants to come out of their comfort zones (this includes me as well..) But the same time wants to show that they care this world. I think the guilty feeling inside their minds makes them to speak about all these..
As some one wrote ones:
Death is a hope, the only hope
for the wretched and the poor
People that strive and strive in awe
But never get to tie their knot
Death reaches out and console
the poverty that surrounded them about
It’s the only thing that makes
a destined wretched life worth it
It’s the only thing on the other side of
the poverty line that blurres the line and cured it…..
