Society
is made up of so many things, and people. A lot of things happen in society.
Different things happen at the same time. Some of those things build people,
some divide people. But yet still, people must live together anyway. Human
beings are different. People want many different things. Some want to be up,
while others want to collect as much money as they can handle. To that end,
there are different motivations in a typical society. People act based on
different pushes, and pulls. And sometimes, when all these different energies
and motivations collide, there is a possibility of people stepping on each
other’s.
Some
of those touches are peaceful, while some end up in brawls. Again, we are
different people with different needs. There are people who are easily angered,
and react with violence in return. It happens. It is a big world. And everyone
wants something from it. As such, when someone feels that the other person is
preventing him or her from getting to something. He or she is ready for a fight.
The culture of competition has gained new meaning in the 21st
century. Only those who are fierce, and shameless get what they want. Yet,
there are so many people who also want to eat. Those who follow the normal path
might have it rough in a highly competitive world. So people have tended to be
aggressive.
Competition
is good. What is not good however, is the methods employed to acquire something.
The whole idea of stepping on the toes of other people, or putting the lives of
other people in danger is wrong. There is a better way we can all use to get
what we want. Develop a vision, and clear objectives, then get to work. But
just how many people want to take this route? People have become restless. They
want their outcomes now. People are no longer waiting for a seed to germinate,
and follow its natural process to produce a mature, ripe fruit. Processes are
being hurried. People cannot wait one more day, or one more year. It has to be
now. And the now mentality, creates problems. People are hurting each other
jostling to pick something.
It
is a rough world out there. And society is gradually normalizing rough. But,
must survival be always about fights? Must you fight to have a cup of tea on
your table? Did all of us lose our temper? We are all in petulant moods. And we
don’t want anyone to touch us. We get offended very quickly, and our attitudes
have grown dark. Of course, this is not what the modern society has come to in
the last few years. However, there is a growing number of people who feel that
they have been left behind, and as such, a fight is not that bad either. Yet,
we need to make progress as a society. How will society move forward with so
many angry people? But there is a better way.
How
about, we learned to respect each other. Recognize the rights of each other.
Understand that my rights can only take me so far. You live in a world that has
other people too. These people, have their basic human rights. You need to
acknowledge that fact, and learn how to adjust your mood. Life is not just
about you. You are not the only person who is hungry. There are several people
elsewhere who are also hungry. And they are doing something to feed their
hunger. Don’t step on their feet simply because their approaches are slower, or
different from yours. You really want the front seat. The other person also
wants the front seat. How do you adjust to accommodate the other person?
We
have a beautiful world. It is capable of giving us anything we want. There are
solutions to your most painful problems. Just breathe, and understand the
process that will lead you, to your solutions. The process might be long or it
can be short. However, be assured that getting to your solutions will not
happen in a single sitting. There will be issues, and obstacles, that you will
have to overcome.
How
you interpret the obstacles, and challenges is yet, another story altogether.
When people get to hurdles that they did not anticipate in their respective
journeys, their attitudes change. They are no longer jubilant. They are no
longer running. Some start walking. Others stop walking. And another super
majority settle on blame games. You need to understand life. It has everything
you want. However, the mere fact that it has everything does not mean, you will
get what you want just like that. You will have to fight. You will justify why
you need it. The process will be uncomfortable. Don’t run away when it gets
hard.
Life
as lessons. It wants you to take your time, and learn something. For example, what
kind of a person you are. Do small things throw you out of proportion? Are you
sure you knew what you were doing? Did you prepare enough? Do you have the
right resources? Is your mind in the right space to get you through this
journey? A lot of lessons. Life is waiting for you to be the right person. When
you become the right person, you will get what you want.
However,
you don’t like the lessons life is serving. So you want a short cut. But the
rules are clear. Nurture your respect. It does not happen overnight. You must
be willing to acknowledge that there are other people. And the needs of other
people are as important as yours. So, draw the line. How many times will you get
upset over situations that you can control?
Stop reacting to situations. Take time, and
understand things that matter. Life matters. Protect it. You also matter.
Protect yourself. You need a clear mind.
Recognize the rights of other people. There is no war, if we choose to acknowledge
each other. Our interpersonal relations would be peaceful. We will differ at one point, or the other. But
that is life. Part of living in an interconnected world is to encounter people
we don’t like. Different goals. Different people. There is no need to fight
each other. Our goals will always be different in many occasions. Learn to
cooperate, and work together. Listen to other people. Speak your mind. Sit
around the table. Differ on the table. And walk out in harmony.
Love
Love
creates peace. It brings understanding. Carrying the burdens of each other
creates camaraderie. It creates brotherhood, and sisterhood. It brings people
together from all walks of life. It creates a wonderful world. A world full of
empathetic people. People who understand each other, and people who help each
other to make progress. However, are people ready to support the needs of other
people? Are people willing to lift the burden for another person, without
expecting anything in return? Do we still have good people out there, who act
from the kindness of their hearts? What about the people in need? Are their
needs genuine?
You
know, there is also a culture that is growing in the modern world. The culture
of cheating. When people see opportunities that can give them what they want
easily, they want to exploit it. I am sure you have come across such stories.
Stories of people faking needs to benefit from the generosity of other people.
They join the line simply because they want free things. Their arrogance tells
them that they can join the line. That the generous person will not detect
them. And they think that they are smart. They will hide their fakeness to the
world. Or maybe, they think that the people who are helping are stupid, and
they are the smart ones. So, they will keep taking.
That
is not the kind of love we need. We need genuineness. We need real problems
that deserve solutions. Real people that have burdens we can help carry. Not pretenders.
Not cheaters. Not exploitative behavior. We need people who want to make
progress. People who when they receive support, they are able to rise up on
their feet, and move forward. Not lazy people. Don’t be lazy. Don’t exploit.
Don’t take advantage of the generosity of other people.
Understand
that for a generous act to even exist, there must be a sacrifice. A person has
to be kind in the first place. We live in a busy world. People are busy with so
many things. So, when a kind heart emerges, it needs to be protected. Acknowledge
the sacrifice by working with them. Cooperate, and learn how to make progress.
Don’t aspire to become a dependent. Your burden as a dependent will become
heavier, and people will get tired. Make progress.
Love seeks progress. And it willingly helps.
It wants the best for you, and other people. Therefore, intentions must remain
honest. People in need who want support must remain honest. The giver of the
act of kindness is deeply interested. He or she wants to help. There is a need
that he or she can solve. Allow these people to work, and serve their purpose.
Don’t exploit. Be grateful that someone is thinking about your needs.
The
culture of pretense has destroyed a wonderful gesture. The idea of people
feigning needs. And using the presence of generous acts wrongly has created
doubts. People have begun being careful. People do not want to be perceived as
the town’s fool. The fake culture is making people want to retrieve. We are now
analyzing every need to ascertain its seriousness. The culture is mainly advanced
by people who think they will stay lazy, sloppy, and still find food on the
table. They expect their solutions to be provided by other people yet, they are
in a position to solve their problems. This is bad behavior. We do not need a
society with such toxic mentality. People need to know that if, they become
sloppy, or lazy, by choice, then they will have to deal with the consequences
of laziness.
What
would happen, when someone discovers that you have been playing games? You want
an easy way out. And there is no easy way out. You have to work for everything
you need. Love does not function that way. Love only grows where it finds perfect
conditions. People who want to cooperate with each other because they are
fellow human beings. Because they live in the same community, and they feel
that coming together will get them far. People have to be willing. No hidden
agendas.
One
of the things you will learn about co-existing in the modern world is getting
to understand people. People play games all the time. And the number of genuine
people is waning. It is a strange world. A world that rewards, and punishes at
the same time. You must be careful. People who prey on others always lurk
within. They will hurt you. And walk
away as if nothing happened. Be careful.
The
mere fact that you have resources, does not mean you want to help every other
person. Let every other person go to work. Let every other person, learn how to
solve his or her problems. Some people just need to face reality, and stop
hiding. People abuse generosity. And these kind of abuses, destroy the good
qualities of peaceful co-existence.
No one wants to be cheated upon. And no one
wants to be presumed as a fool. People will walk away. People will look the
other side. And we don’t want to live in such societies. Societies that abuse
generosity, and destroy peace. We want to live in societies, which respect.
Societies that respect efforts. Societies that reward. We want progress, not
games.
So, don’t play games either. Be genuine.
Respect. A peaceful environment has so much to offer than a chaotic environment.
Don’t be the source of chaos. Don’t be the reason people fight each other.
Don’t contribute towards people leaving. Build relationships that change lives.
Allow love to play its role. Let it create peace. Let it create empathy. Let it
unite people. Let it cleanse the world of some evil. Let it solve problems.
