Rejuvenate

Hello Readers

Hope you all are doing fine.

Freedom is not given. It’s taken.

-Sri Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose

Somewhere in the lush mangroves of India lived a small family surviving on farming and entertaining the tourists with their folk talents.

Years passed, and the storms of problems eclipsed this family started with the sad demise of the father, followed by a dreaded ailment which stood on the shoulders of the elder son, which stopped all the activities of the house which brought them what little money which kept them moving.

The son eventually went blind because of his sickness as it affected the brain.

He tried extending his arms to all his relatives for help and received as much as possible from them, but this was not sufficient to treat his diseases and to take care of his family.

Then he tried to contact his childhood friends and school mates who started to help him without expecting returns.

Years passed by, and fast-forwarding time to today, the elder son passed away in a terminal condition and was ever grateful to his friends who helped him even though there was no hope and also partially funded his sister’s education.

Well, there ends a small passage which is a true story; this is how a group of friends helped their dear friend and his family try to climb up the ladder of normalcy.

Now other people ask the people who helped the departed soul. What did you get by helping without any return or fruit for your efforts which includes not only monetary support but also emotional support?

The answer should be : Help is a religion by itself and what it preaches is divine and only happiness to those who need it.We always try to shy away from responsibilities which are capable and can be done by us.

If we try to change that in us, I am sure we will enjoy the joy of helping, there are som many hands out there looking out for your help.

Why don’t we the “blessed” try to help the people who are in real need of help instead of indulging useless petty and materialistic struggles in life?

Food for thought ain’t it?

All the help you do will come back to you in the form of goodness gratitude and the fondness towards you by those happy souls, that is the real reward of help.

Thanks for your time, good evening.
