Decades gone by waiting for things to improve. For people to get empathetic, understanding, mindful etc etc etc. But will it ever happen? Or we will just keep saying Generation by Generation that "in the coming generation, the fuss will be less, judgements will be less". But that will never happen.
We are all becoming modern but carrying the burdens of entire world. All self-help books say that focus on yourself, your thoughts, try to avoid what is happening around. But.... is it really that easy.
Let me share a short story with you of our friend Ishaan.
Ishaan was a dedicated soft natured caring soul who believed that love and empathy is the way to life. If we are good, others will be good too. But Alas! does it really happen in real life?
He was a good friend, a supportive brother, a responsible son. In short, he was everything which is required for a good Man. Except he didn't know the value of self-love. He thought if he will take care of others, then at the time of need others will equally respond and care. This is where he was mistaken and can rightly be said betrayed.
He had his competitive exams approaching and he needed complete dedicated place and time to be mentally prepared. A quiet and supportive environment, freedom to study and prepare at any time of day but that didn't get along with people around him who were comfortably adjusted with him being around on a call for everything.
So constant arguments, taunts started happening. It was not that they didn't love him. The did love him but Ishaan himself created this atmosphere were he was the one filling for everyone in errands. Total chaos happened in absence of a dedicated resource. Ishaan being the innocent soul tried explaining it but he found out that the acknowledgement is not only there for him and his space.
He understood by hard way that he should have kept himself on priority and have been clearly prioritized himself so may be the situation would have been different for everyone including himself
Food for thought:
Should he to be blamed for it for being too available or others were too blind in their comfort zone?
