Responsibility is nothing but ability to respond.
Why nowadays our ability to respond to others or other things has gone down so much. We have become so selfish, self -centred, jealous about others and egotistic.
Being responsible and core yourself to everything around us is the core nature of human beings.
We started comparing ourselves with others and their lifestyles. And start slowly becoming more like them and lose our originality. That means you are living somebody’s life, not your own.
We stopped appreciating somebody’s growth. We only think about ourselves, our family, our individual growth. We hesitate to help others.
Even if we get a feeling that somebody is in need may ask a favour to us, immediately we keep them away or start avoiding them.
We don’t even remember when you were joyful last time. We don’t even exactly remember when we spent the happiest moments with friends and dear ones.
When we observe people around us and sometimes ourself, the face is so serious, as if he/she is facing a huge challenging situation in his/her life. Even we forgot to smile at someone when we see.
I think it is all because our survival concerns are becoming too high, we are not able to see life the way it is because perception of our senses are dominating us.
Because of this domination, you always try to work life from the other end.
We think, “First, let me be educated, let me make money, let me get married, let me have children, then in the end, I will find peace.”
Yes, there is no doubt we will definitely “Rest in Peace.” At least we believe so!
Hence, our mind loses the ability to respond to things that happen around us while survival becomes more important. We lost our original identity, who we are.
When it is a question of survival, when survival has become a dominant process, we will not know anything subtle in our life – we will not know the finer aspects of being human.
Bring the change, Be core yourself
Smile at someone whenever you see them, say hello to your neighbour at least twice in a week. Give at least 20 – 30 minutes yourself and spend time alone, this will help you to think about who you are, what you want to do in your life, what you are doing now.
Observe your surroundings, birds, trees, plants, watch sunrise /sun set consciously, walk down in the street, feel the presence of nature.
You must keep your survival concerns down a little bit. Only then you will see life the way it is.
