The Man, The Machine, The Material - Part 2(conclude)

The problem with my generation is a need of instancy. The 'Right Here, Right Now' attitude is
fantastic at times. It gives an attitude of 'I will win' constantly. But this also gives the
attitude of 'I have to win'. A small loss is then seen as a personal disgrace. Thus, if the
failures sustain, a person starts losing faith and confidence in himslef. This chnages his
personality to an extent that he starts seeing himself as a thorough loser. I have seen people
who have immense potential in them but they can't judge it. Even if you show them the light they keep looking at their dark shadow. The point of saying all this is that only at this point of
their life are people very humble, very considerate, very vulnerable. People pity them and that
acts as buffer to their broken self-esteem. The moment a person gains that confidence, he starts aiming at small successes. Life finally seems to have some meaning for him. It's like a small sparkle of fire in the hay. People who care to make the sparkle a huge inferno keep on adding hay to it. The fire starts building up and when it is in its full self, it starts feeling its own strength. It feels the heat & light it is spreading. Uptil this time it is perfectly fine for the fire to feel like the Sun himself. But what it forgets is the hay on which it was raised. Sooner or later it will need more of it to grow its flares. And this is possible only if the fire didn't forget to warm the hands that helped it to reach till here. Synonymous to this is our attitude. There's no crime or sin in growing and reaching new heights. What one must remember is that it is better to grow big than to fly high. The destination to the top is achieved in any case, whether you grow big or you fly high. The difference is the contact with the ground. I know guys/gals who feel that stress occurs due to involvement in any relationship. Agreed, in fact I support the fact that too much involvement in anyone or anything does bind your growth. But that doesn't support to shrug off ones responsibilities towards a relationship. We all come across "friends" who love to have a nice time with you in the rain. Ask some of them to come for a necessary walk in the afternoon. The ones who don't hesitate a bit are the friends. The others, I would say, are just acquaintances.
I know that many of you might question "What's wrong in being practical in Life!" Practicality
should never be replaced with selfishness or self-centredness. We all owe a lot to the society and people surrounding us. The only action is to stretch out your hand. And when you do so, keep in mind that you are not supposed to blow your own trumpet and tell the world how big your heart is. combining both the parts I might have said what the world has already said a million times. The problem is a million other hear this but not listen to it.
