It's not that difficult to be Altruistic!!

 

All the problems of our times i.e., poverty, terrorism, environmental degradation, religious or linguistic conflict, regional tensions, boundary disputes, are in some way or the other related to the undying desires of human being for more and more acquisition of faux, hollow and meaningless values of life which they have themselves created and standardized. And while we are engaged in this rat race, we lose our mental peace and happiness. The fight for the competitive edge and materialistic success at the cost of each other has made us all in-human, instigating the disgusting and gross worldly scenes that we experience in our day to day life.

It is only because, we humans are never satisfied with whatever we have, and we constantly feel deprived of something or the other, the sense of having less than the other person is what led to our restless mind and soul. But, we should always ensure that in our bid to achieve our dreams and fulfil our aspirations, we do not seize the other person’s right to achieve the dreams by depriving them of their rightful shares. Honestly in our thoughts and conduct shall ensure the peaceful and sublime co-existence of humans in the world. The concept of ethics and moralities has changed over the due course of time, but the basic essence of ethics has always been “to live our life without hurting others”.

The epicurean or hedonistic lifestyle, means living for ourselves,  has blurred the line of difference between man and animal, wherein animals don’t have the power of rational thinking, mental and emotional abilities. So as long as we live, we should live a life, that is humane and co-existent. We ought to live our life in a way as to be a beacon to brighten others’ lives, by eradicating darkness from their lives. We should ensure that we live in perfect peace and harmony as far as we can. As they say, many of us live as we would never die and many of us die, as we never lived. So we must take an effort and ensure that we do not regret having lived a wrong life, having hurt someone knowingly, or having deprived someone of something.

“If we cannot do well to someone, then, we should make sure that we don’t leave this world by earning curses from everyone”

We should, therefore, try to gather as much goodwill as possible for deserving the best for ourselves and also because eventually that only goes with us. Our presence in this whole wide world is like a stone thrown in the water. The strength of the impact with which the stone is hurled into the water determines how bigger the resultant circle shall be. Likewise, the bigger the circle of goodness and goodwill as a result of our being in this world, the surer shall be our attainment of the eternal bliss.

Now it’s up to us to decide as to what kind of life we want to live and what reputation do we want to leave behind when we finally depart from here. Notwithstanding destiny’s micro planning, we can still create or spoil the kind of life we want to lead in this world with our positive thoughts and humility accompanied by untiring efforts.
