As you sit on your comfortable chair, annoyed
that your mom made paneer again. As you sit and
connect your phone to the Wi-Fi, but it works
dead slow. As you complain about the fact that
at 12 midnight, your kitchen isn't equipped with
the Salsa and Tacos you crave for. As you murmur
at your best friend, who refuses to agree to your
crazy logic about your crush liking back, to bring
you back to your senses. You fight with your parents
for not buying you the new Iphone. You get
annoyed at your maid for not being present for a day
since her daughter was sick. You sit and complain all
day long about the problems you have everyday.
But think,
Think of the people who die of not getting food for
weeks and weeks. Think of the people who do not
even have phones to call their relatives once a month.
Think of the people who only get salt and roti, every
single time for all three meals of the day. Think of the
people who commit suicide because they have no
friends to care for them, to listen to the grievous problems
they have. Think of the people who do not even have
their own houses, forget having an Iphone. Think of the
maid's daughter who's sick and ailing. Think of the people
who lost their loved ones, of the people who have never
been loved by anyone, those who are bullied, those who
are enslaved, those who are tortured.
Now that you did think, do you really think you're in problems?
Stop thinking, 'cause you and me are some of the most privileged people ever. We get to sit comfortably in our rooms and read this with a cup of coffee in freedom.
Why don't we work towards getting this same basic freedom for everyone?
Let's work towards a better world.
