Are you waiting to pick up a fight?


With many facilities bestowed upon human beings, the world should be a peaceful place to live on. But it is not. It never really was. People have always been fighting for peace, food, over boundaries, over religion and so on. But the reason had never been so petty and silly as it appears to be now.

The fight today is not for the luxury but for the scratch that you accidently made on a car while passing by. The fight is not for the ever-increasing jam on roads, but over the reason that you didn't give someone a side. The fight is neither for the property nor for the treasure, but for the garbage that flew from your house to someone else’s due to wind. Are they entirely new things that we are hearing? Definitely not.

Just that the result of such brawls are getting close to physical fights unlike mere abuses in earlier days. There have been cases when it has lead to even murders. Have we gone insane? What is the root cause? Can you blame it all on the stress level? And if yes, who creates stress at the first place?

The answer to all lies in us, so called human beings. If office politics, family issues, social concerns et al are the grounds of justification for your increasing trauma in life, you better start rethinking. We are the one who loves to play a little politics at work place and curse it when it comes back to you in an enlarged manner. We are the one who are happy to watch a fight happening on the street, no matter who is beating who. It’s only when it happens to self that we feel awakened and unrest.

In nutshell, we are OKAY with everything until unless it’s not happening to us. But what it leads to is worth giving a thought.

If you analyze a single day of your life, you come across many abnormal happenings starting from – an annoying auto wallah, a fight which you just had a glimpse of on street, an impatient boss, a frustrating client, series of bad news on TV,  etc, etc. You don’t react to all of them but it gets etched in your mind making you wad off your ‘being human’ concept even without your know-how. You get accustomed to such happenings and gradually when something turns to you, you give a response which you rarely expected from yourself. All because things that were ‘too bad’ for you have now turned out to be ‘quite normal’.

Let the things that were considered bad remain to be under the same category. Don't let the label fade away with time.

Stay human, think over and act responsibly. Don’t let go of sense in your life and in your acts.
