The differences - Why it disturbs me ?
I walk across a shopping mall and i see the audis and mercedes zoom fast the roads , opposite lie there many homeless folks sleeping on the road . I wonder how they manage their life everyday living like this? No home to go - Imagine being homeless , no food -no proper clothes!!
I take my son out for a treat and there comes 2 boys one much younger to him and one a little older to him , Without wearing proper foot wear, walking bare foot in this chennai heat -they are selling us stickers and coloring books and all we can buy i some of it to help them - I decided to invite them for the lunch treat with us and stopped the restaurant guys from shooing them away saying they have come with us . But again after that meal -they are back to the street in the same hot sun to sell the books left behind
My maid walks in often with some marks of her domestic abuse , how much ever i help her -She has to depend on this man to live the rest of her life - i keep thinking to myself -how is it possible for her to live her life everyday with a man who makes her unhappy
Again - This is the daily life and the circle continues -but it is bothering me every time i encounter this situation
Is it me -am i too weak to turn a blind eye to all these differences that is happening in our society ?
Or is it all of us who all ignore such incidents and forget about it the next day ?
Why does these differences affect me so much - I dont know!!

That's the humanity circle viji...one gains because one looses. One is comfortable because someone is not....we can try to be human enough and that solves the indifference stigma.
