Gone are the days when kids lived a
life of real luxury and pleasure, and when I mean luxury it is not the virtual
luxury you get through money in today’s world, It is the sheer joy I, as a kid got from
little things that made up my world during those days. Getting up each day to
the sound of temple bells and bhajjan’s around your house or to a cock’s crow. Hesitantly
getting ready to school, your mom helping you with the lunch, your granny
feeding you breakfast, your uncle and aunt who also lived with you getting you
dressed up, and there we go off to school by walk with your granddad. Along the
way to school getting to talk with your grand-dad about umpteen number of
things happening in your life. Later in the evening getting back home with your
granddad this time getting a stick ice or mango and munching it all the way.
Back in home the same set of people waiting to greet you not just with open
hands but, with an open heart. I think I was one of those luckiest kids on this
planet who grew up not just with money but, with people around. Pity the kid’s
in today’s world who are growing up a machine’s life.
The very day a kid celebrates its
first birthday we put them in a creche or rather get them admitted I would say.
The kid apparently learns obedience, ethics and dining etiquette at the age of
one when all that a kid has to learn is true love, love for mankind rather than
love for toys and play stations. If we feel that humanity is lost in the world,
people are turning wild killing each other, the reason is we don’t teach our
kids humanity when they have to learn it. Apparently what you sow you reap. When
at the age of one you sow jealousy into their brain how can you expect to reap
love and humanity from them at the age of twenty.
"It is what you do in the present that will redeem your past and thereby change the future-paulo coelho"
So let the present be filled with pure love thereby you expect true humanity in future.
