I was returning from my routine college the other day. Tired and pissed off due to some foolish work load. And was cursing the local road authorities for a really shabby and messed up road near my house. The repairs were going on since a week or so and showed absolutely no improvements. Rather the tar cans and stone crusher trucks made the conditions even worster. The burning sun, The shining tar and the muddy air was just unbearable. And though i was quiet comfortably covered,I was complaining silently. And then I saw something....A group of children..all under age 5..very running on those hot tarred roads...barefoot..almost unclothed..and to my surprise they had an ultimate sunshine smile on their faces..all of them...they didnt care of the sun,the heat,the entire sickening atmosphere at all..I decided to have a close look..They were kids of the poor stone crusher women. The one fighting for their daily bread..They loved their kids..Took efforts to keep them alive..And trust me the livelyness i saw on the faces of these kids was just immpossible to be seen on the faces of the kids brought up in some high class society,the one who shopped in supermalls and played nothing else but roadrash..The kids were so immensly cute..a beautiful sight to see..thier half-clothed,dark skinned bodies were all full of energy..N then i realised something what made them different from me.. They were unaware..Unaware of the complicated yet simple life they had..Unaware of the problems their parents had in rearing them..Unaware of the big bad world around...Unaware of their probable gray future..But then i thought...so what? If Being unaware was keeping them happy..what is wrong with it..? And then i realised the deeper meaning of all this unawareness stuff..We all, either happy or not..everyone of us was unaware..or may be we were unaware because we were happy..! We were not aware of the problems are maid faced...because we were so busy in making ourselves happy...just look at any general situation of any comman man's life..for instance his new job venture..he's happy and hence he is unaware of the upcoming problems he might face, because he is overwhelmed with the thought of having the job..why can't human beings just face the truth? Why do we have to depend on future and fate to teach us lessons in life.or may be just to be aware of anything ? Why do we always think our problems are bigger than anyone else's? And may be that is why we never have that fufilled,satisfied life..We just keep on complaining on everything we have got..We just are unaware all those beautiful things that have happened to us..! An instead of expressing our gratitude..towards god,nature,society we just blame others...If we just try and learn lessons from all the things happening around us..it will surely give us that kind of happiness and satisfaction..isn't it??
