The world gives me the chills. Is just a case of bad karma? I don’t know. These days, I find it insulting to be called human. Humanity is like a cuss word that is reserved for those who lack morals or ethics.
There was a time when you would make it purely on the basis of hard work and talent. Now, you reach the top you have to be willing to pull someone else down. Life has become all about money and careers and you are judged only on those parameters. Who needs friends and families? As long as I am successful in my professional life, my personal life can go down the drain. Are you surprised then with the lonely existences most people live and the rising divorce rates in the country?
I, for one, refuse to allow any one aspect of my life to control me. I want it all. My reason is simple…of what use are all the joys and successes in life if you have no one to share it with? It’s tough to make and sustain long-lasting relationships. Genuine friends are hard to find and even more difficult to replace. But it is only in the company of family and friends can life truly be said to be meaningful.
And I have to hope that a few people out there agree with me. If not, the Neeraj and Aarushi murder cases will soon become the norm rather than the exception. With no ethics and a degrading value system, what else can we expect?
