I used to be kinda’ low, depressed, sad… on seeing how poor people suffer! There was this old man who clears the over grown grass on our garden. He always comes after 12pm. My mom asked him why he’s coming only in the afternoon and is working in the scorching sun, whereas it would be easier for him in the early mornings. His reply, “Mathyanam vantha thaane saapadu tharuveenga madam” (Only if i come in the afternoon, i can have some lunch!) According to him, if he works early in the morning, he’ll get only the koolie(wages) for his work. Whereas, if he works in the afternoon, it would be lunch time and he can get the lunch for that day as well as the money. Makes, me think how hard people work to get the basic necessity of life, Food!  Even today, while returning home, i saw an old man picking up rice which fell on the road. Apparently, the plastic cover in which he was carrying the rice tore open and fell down from his cycle. So, he was picking up the pieces of rice from that dirty road, clean it and then eat! Now I feel bad about wasting food!!!

But, after pondering over these kind of things all these years… And out of experience… I’ve come to accept the Truth! The Reality!

Everyone in this world cannot be Equal! It is against the nature of man. There is something unique in everyone. Right from his Date of Birth, Place of Living, Fingerprints, Appearance, Qualification, Attitude, Tastes, etc etc. A talented man cannot be asked to be satisfied with what a man totally devoid of talent is able to obtain from life. If all of us are equal, we would be like machines, robots!

No one can be equal to someone else. Even then, i pray to God that the divide between the Poorest and the Richest is not this huge as it is these days, in India.
