A Thought

We all are living in an interesting period where technology is taking over and governing our life. The old is nearly behind us and the dawn of the coming years is closer. The whole world seems to be excited about it’s advent. Sometimes we wonder why we are so excited about it. What is wrong in the present that we are dreaming of the future? Those who are compassionate and kind say how can we be happy when the world is full of pain, suffering, war and violence. Animals suffer from human abuse and torture, children from mal-nutrition and child abuse, the poor from poverty and hunger and the rest of the world suffers from dehumanizing war and violence. Where is the happiness that we are looking for? Is it in material gain that the modern world or is it in wiping the tears of the suffering and the aching? This is the question we have to ask ourselves. In this sense the present looks bleak, dark and hopeless.
We are all pretending that we are happy, but are we really? Or are we living under anesthesia and have become numb towards the pain of others? I think there is a corner in every heart that hurts and cries, but few have time and sensitivity to listen to that inner voice. Many times we think that what difference does it make if I am not compassionate. Organizations and social workers do that. Well remember one thing… “Every drop of water makes an ocean. One drop cannot say I do not make the ocean, other drops do.
In these trying times the world is now looking up towards the coming millennium for a happier, healthier and peaceful future for the entire living community. Let us therefore collectively word for the happiness and peace of the Universe.
Finally I would like to say in these words ‘I expect to pass through this world but once. Any good that I can do or any kindness that I can show to any fellow creature let me do it now, for I shall not pass through this way again.
