People moved out from comfort zones, Wandered for long in the woods, Scraping with little and lived alone Till they got what they sought, good. They then had some company that Came because they were qualified Happily imparting what they got, They stood untouched and rarefied. Like a stream that finds its own coarse, Their students too went in search. Though only a few succeeded They came back as a potent force. What happens today is that Each of us live in our own zone. We care more for ourselves but Our compassion in others gone! Agreed we are not enlightened souls. But what happened to our basic courtesy? We readily pursue loftier goals, What about leaving a good legacy?
Dear rugs, VEry true. it is always me, me and me. Gone are the days of joint families in r even extended families. Nobody has time, I don't say time ,but inclination to interact with others or to know about others , leave out helping.....not bothered also. Compassion is a disappearing red. IF we are like this what are children going to learn? THey may gain knowledge in various subjects in school or college but what about other traits and values which are equally important? On the other day in a book shop in UK I have seen a book titled 101 things to do instead of playing on smart phone. GOod suggestions are there but who is going to follow....first young parents should take their eyes off screen and look around. THen kids would follow. Relevant to eve one. Syamala
Nice feedback Syamala. Yes, thats what is happening now. Even kids do not respond to other kids in need, in schools too. Regarding addiction to mobile phones, I am afraid, I too am one. I spend an hour at least to browse, read and play on an average. Let me see how I do that. Helping others is something rare and not even accepted freely. people start suspecting any and everything and restrict themselves to be helped as well. -rgs
