It takes effort to make right thing right

Since a few days, I was trying to push myself to find out the purpose of my actions and reactions. Rarely do I watch my reactions, most of the time these are spontaneous. However, I tried to do this experiment with my behaviour and got some amazing results. The very first thing that I noticed was the abundancy in my life and attitude. I compared my life with other people most of the time with common people, those who do not have much luxury in life. The one question that always came out was that "What had I done to feel apart from from them?" Or, more precisely, what good deeds of mine are the resulting in today's luxury. Why can't everybody attain this so called luxury of life. Mind you, at 24 if you are partying with friends and living in a luxurious college hostel... you need to stand apart for a while and see yourself from a distance. In this one silent moment you will realize that something more is expected from you. The expectance may not be clearly visibly to you but, ask the mess worker who prepares food sor you, or the labourer who works in chilling winter night to build your hostel... They may not know you personally but, all of them see you as a light which will guide this world to become a better living place. And in return what do we do... take a high paying job and someday leave the country as non returning Indians.

Expectation is a subtle force that motivates us to reach pinnacle of human values. We may be mean in our worlds but, for the world which sees us from a few distance we are their torch bearers. Isn't it crime if we turn our faces from the very basic duty towards these people? Isn't it a sin if we do not give them anything in return. Society is a network of human values. Till the time virtues are there, the progress happens. I, as a student, owe much to this society. Before nation, before land my first duty is towards these common people who unknowingly put their efforts in my success.

It takes efforts to make right things right. Small values gives us courage and confidence to move ahead in life. As I see these people around me, my faith in humanity and its virtues becomes stronger and stronger.
