Okay so I haven't been busy nowadays. Just been caught up in some damned Ambala politics.
So lets talk about something for a change. Lets talk about change.
Who is here who doesn't love change? We want to change how that dorky girl in the class dresses up. We want to change why that cute couple holds hands in the school corridors. We want to change the test dates our teachers give us.
We want to change everything about the world. We want to change Delhi before Commonwealth games ( Impossible). We want change the mindset of the youngsters recruited in terrorist camps. ( I personally want change Lindsay Lohan)
So once the need for change is identified, the improvement committee is set up inside us. Of course, God has sent us on this earth with the divine purpose of treating the faulty. We try to change people, sometimes succeed or else get kicked out. But hey, we are good people, we can't bear to see imperfections.
I remember a story from my sixth-grade hindi book. It was about a young guy who got a mirror from his Guru that showed all the flaws of the person who looked in the mirror. The guy toured the world, saw everyone's impeerfection and in the end assumed that everyone in the world was wrong. At the end the Guru asked him to look in the mirror himself and unsurprisingly, he had the worst flaws than anyone else'.
Sounds familiar?
Yes because we try to change everything around us but we forget ourselves.
You have to be the change you wish to see in the world.So next time before opening your mouth in disdain, remember this. We are not talking to PEOPLE= Reason + Logic. Instead we are dealing with PEOPLE = Emotions. Behind every flaw is a feeling that if you don't respect, then you are in for serious trouble.
