Our Mouths are bigger than our Hearts

Any event that has ever created anything phantom has to be seen as the destiny of an individual. Be it Buddha, Mahatma Gandhi, Swami Vivekananda, Shubash Chandra Bose or any other historic entity, everyone has done it alone, this is how it has been projected. Yet we read that a team is always greater than the individuals. The Japanese are way ahead than Indians not just because of the creative genius, but because of the teamwork too.

Team Work? This is the biggest misnomer in the present human contingent. As everyone wakes up with the ambition of painting the sky, we often chose to walk alone. In relationships, work or taking decision we have created a system that applauds individualistic approach and we create individual heroes and sheroes. Most of us dream to become an individual diamond rather than a beautiful garland of diamonds. You ask any young guns about their aspiration, their answer would mostly be individualist. Is it there fault? No, it is not. Ever since childhood we have been fed with the delicious Biryani of being strong, and our interpretation of being strong is being alone. We have to be strong to take care of others or to be precise our own loved ones. But with the world shrinking with time and young individuals has now been able to absorb vibes from all over the world, the opposite poles are becoming weaker and hence the repulsion. The magnetic fields are decreasing in the desire of being a free bird.   

But an independent individual should be independent, why should he blame others for his inconvenience or failure or vice-versa? Here is the catch, there is a thin line between desires and responsibility. Loving someone is a desire and being in love is a responsibility. Desires are skyrocketing, but responsibilities are digging deep into the ground.

Most educate people are worried about uneducated rather than helping them with small things. They have a strange belief of keeping mum about connecting the dots, whereas on the other hand the negative act, travels with the speed of light. The educated fraternity is becoming more and more frightening and helpless day by day. They have fear to lose their  possessions. They have fear to lose their identity. At the time of crunch, instead of helping people around them, few of them becomes so judgmental that it adds fuel to the fire, instead of extinguishing it.

While none of them have the courage to change the things around nor they know how to implement perfect solutions in the larger scale and set everything right. Yet, everyone of them knows what others should do. They want clean air, but want others to stop driving, stop smoking, stop burning crackers,  and want factories to stop. When factories will stop, the people selling crackers will have no buyers, they will cry foul about the people working there and tell the government about their poor families and why these bans are not justified. So what is justified? I believe everything that is not implementable is justified. We are drowned in the deep sea of justification that gives no solutions that can be implemented.

Very few of these intellectual will help sponsoring a child’s education or an old age home or anything that may help someone in need, but they have plans ready for others to execute. They will be disturbed  about black money, liquor and cigarettes, but never give 100 Rs if found guilty of not wearing a helmet.

Where the degrees are inflated, so is the ego inside us, instead of uniting to grow and prosper, we choose the easy way out. There have been always an easy way out and the easiest way out is to find a flaw in everything, tell others that you disowned your capability because of them. We live in an era where everyone desires of perfection, but none has ever achieved it.

And with a glimpse of two storey buildings, inflated pockets and egos, we believe in being a powerful speaker. Everyone, from a Army General to a teacher, will know that every government is fake and useless, but none of those intellectuals will show you what and how things to be done. Every one of them will get the knowledge about the hidden plethora of money of the industry giants and political people, but none of them have the addresses of the needy people they, or we can help. They will have the list of problems, but no time and no heart to implement the solutions. This is strange but true.

With increasing social media presence, it is to be assumed that we may have several reasons to unite and become helping hands to each other, rather than this our mouths are becoming bigger and our hearts are shrinking day by day. Instead of sharing a way for making our environment better we are busy in highlighting errors and the future mishaps which might never happen.

This era is the era of information, interpretations is the most important weapons, we can use it to make our world a better place and for that we have to start thinking on a broader perspective. We have to start believing in each other. Decisions may turn right or wrong, but if people are together, then everything will come to the place.

Well, in sports they say ‘Individual wins you matches, team wins you tournaments’ and the same applies in everything around us. So if we can control our mouths and listen to our hearts, we might change everything around for the greater good.
