To believe or not to believe is the big question we face. The news we hear is fractured, the things we see are doctored. It starts with the things we say, are neither trustable by ourselves. If at all we were to be one the Gandhi’s monkey today, we would either deaf, dumb or blind.
The recent news the pharma companies influenced the WHO, has come as a big blow into the trust of millions of people around the world. Thousand of people spent there hard earned money into drugs for a false hoax created for megre selfish collective motives.
The news we read are far from reality, our education reflects uncertain history which changes with the government we choose. Our companies make unrealistic balance sheets which end up unbalanced later. What we eat is adultrated with the unknown. No doubt we finds unending queues to even small temples every passing moment. The equation is simple commit a sin and plead for ignorance. This is not the fate of some greedy people around, its all our collective behaviour.
We need money, fast money and never care for the path that leads to it. Not for a single moment do we think is the trail in the wrong road worth all the walk. Do we attain peace and happiness on those roads, are we doing general good for the public. Ethics is history, virtues and vices are endangered. When spirituality sells, and non-profit organizations mint millions and temples are store houses of finances. God himself must be puzzled where the world is heading.
Whom to believe, what to trust, where to find peace and how to find solace and happiness and millions dollar questions. They are million dollar questions, because people are making millions of dollars for these basic questions and finally not even providing the answer but just deeping our questions and efforts to find them.
We live in a place, where we hardly have time for our happiness, we do not know whom we are working for and most importanly why. Blissful where people who had less money, more time and happiness and family to share those. Do we call this evolution or globalization is unknown.
We just do not have inflated prices, we have inflated worries too and all for little greed, when all we need was to look to our needs. We have brought in enough change around, lets bring some within too. Let the charity begin within.
