Untangle Yourself

We grew up only to realize that these things are not restricted to moral science books. Not only are we surrounded by it in every day life; we no longer apply the moral science lessons we learnt. Sad, but true. We put up with it, sometimes turn a blind eye to it and take an active part in fuelling it by remaining inactive. 

Isn't it funny that even adults live with fear?

Is fear a reality or is it a situation created in the mind?

Isn't it shocking that an urban educated woman puts up with a violent marriage?

Is it easier to settle down in a violent marriage than face consequences of dealing with it?

Isn't it sad that a mother is unjust to a daughter by being partial to her son?

Can a parent like one of his/her children a little less?

Isn't it an eye opener to know that a person does well successfully, yet lives in isolation?

People like to build walls around them because it makes them feel protected.

Isn't it a helpless feeling to see some rule out their options, by being inflexible?

People love to stick to their point of view and even take it to their graves.

So if the solution to these problems exist in moral science books, why don't we apply them? Instead the problems remain to exist. 

We complicate our lives and get entangled. We are far more dissatisfied and restless. The more we have, the more we want and the lesser we have. There is too much and yet too little. Ironically, the surplus of anything creates a lack. We want a better car because our neighbor just bought one. We want the latest phone because it looks trendy. We want to be loved because we have it all. We want to be respected because we have reached far ahead. But, hey wait. Far ahead of whom. Far ahead of others or far ahead of yourself? 

Simplicity has now been replaced. 

This trend is more common in metros and cities than in villages. People lead simpler lives in villages while people in cities have complicated their lives. We do not share, we compare. We do not interact with people that do not look like ‘us'. All villagers look the same:)

People in cities look happy and people in villages look content.

People in villages are more in touch with reality, be it nature or ways of life.
