The Challenge to be Human (2)

                    The 21^st century can be rightly called a technocratic era. The uncried theme for this century is – Machines replacing men. 

Look at it from any angle; Work – efficiently done by machines, replacing manual labour; Communication – automated! Even love and friendship are brought under its mantle.

Two lovers (of post-romantic stage) or say friends, even when close to each other would prefer to log onto whatsapp and chat than to hold hands and talk. We all have time to glance over a text sent but no time to look into the eyes of a person crying for your presence. We all have time to read someone’s status but no heart to really ask and be with the person in reality.

See who have become our friends! People wearing masks??? Maybe, because we have more time for gadgets than for real people. Communication makes life easy, right? That’s correct! But what is the use communication without the meeting (atleast the intention of meeting) of two hearts?

Think about it!!!

Do something special today – Smile, shake hands, pat your friend's back and give a tight hug with a genuine and a sincere heart. This assurance will surely uplift that person with the hope that YES! No matter what you are there for him/her.

The Challenge to be Human (1)

In this fast paced world, people tend to be busy all their lives. Love and concern for others find place only in blogs and  books. Profit for oneself has become the guiding principle for all our dealings.

A flower that gives fragrance would lose heart if it gives its fragrance with the sole expectation of having a person enjoying it. In the same way, a person would plunge into depression, when he find no one by his/her side when s/he feels low. EXPECTATIONS – the precursor of the ‘DEATH’ of HAPPINESS.

            What do we do? A flower has no option but to give out its fragrance. But we, fellow Human Beings have a choice. We can make ourselves ‘Human’ to the full sense of the term, and open our heart for people to reside. Give a listening ear (not advice) which is very difficult, since it is non-profit oriented. Give our time to the people who need it. And thus we shall make this planet a better place to live in.

            Let us do something special today – Just let a person know that you are there for that person, right now and in the ages to come.
