As a human, you would have observed that life keeps changing at every stage.
There was a time when you were young and innocent and suddenly today no amount of honesty and innocence will help you out if someone wants to do something harmful to you.
It's pretty complex to see yourself as a victim suddenly because your whole childhood revolves around a fake sense of security that parents provide, and when you are out on your own in society, everything changes.
As we grow up, we start hearing incidents when there are major accidents. You are suddenly exposed to the world of crime and injustice. A place where office politics wins and honesty is always looked down upon.
You come face to face with situations where you see people with power encroaching rights of people that are powerless.
There are also people who might look poor, and you may have pity on them, but usually they are always trying to get more out of you.
Let me give you some examples;
These were just basic examples, I have heard about people getting beaten up in offices and then cases have been on them itself. I have seen companies firing employees and those who have worked for more than 30 years. Those old men are good for nothing for the job market right now, and they talk about employee loyalty.
I used to pay extra everytime whenever anyone would ask me some money or someone will resolve some issue, I used to reward them, until I realised, when I required money for real, and I didn't had even a penny in my pocket, then how they behaved.
Things like these makes every one sad, and it makes me too, because money has become one of the most important things in life.
Banks can easily exploit their customers, and still they operate only from 10 AM to 4 PM.
The come wagging tail to start savings account wth them when someone joins an organization, and when they leave the organization or if their organization is not paying them every month, then they are charged with minimum balance amounts, Debit card Charges and what not.
Common man is even charged for keeping his or her money in bank accounts and this is because one can't keep his or her money in cash also, or else, you will 100% be charged with Tax Evasion.
But still some powerful people that are good with business and personal skills get rid of these issues.
I have seen super powerful people driving their cars at 100km/h on roads that have 40km/h as limit, and still they never get arrested or even they don't have to pay fines.
A common man who drives at 60km/h on a road with 40km/h becomes target of policing and is charged hefty fines.
And this is the start of what I wanted to say ...
Think about children around the world, or families in war struck zones. They are dying every single day while you and I are sitting in our comfy chairs and reading this article.
There are people around the world that will not eat tonight.
Things like these force us to think if we are really of any value in this world. This world will be normal even if you and I are not here. This world is not even going to feel anything. There is already enough suffering around the world, and our false hope that we grow up with shatters when we grow.
Cousins stop talking ... Relations start breaking ... Friendships disappear
All the promises disappear and you see the world changing around you. There are times when you want to share your success stories, but there is no one around.
It reminds me of a story of a King, who fought several battles, but lost all his relatives and people that he knew closely. Even though he won the throne, he was all alone.
So is life for most of us in this world. Although we have earned a lot and are living a happy life outside, still inside we know what precious things we have lost and how vulnerable we are.
Still we will continue this vicious circle, until our offsprings feel secure as we keep on fighting with this world. Then the day will come when you will have to let your kids face the world and fight for themselves, because you cannot be a shield forever.
Life changes ... Situations Change ... and then there are PEOPLE ... that can't forget their PAST & keep on knocking the old doors that may never open again.
Let's do a reality check, you can never become kid again, the only way out is living life and taking all the steps carefully.
There are several life lessons that I had learned from my friends, families and unknown people as well. Here are some of them;
