On the lookout
The Hindu : On the lookoutGayathri Bakthavasalu, a reader from Glasgow, says we have forgotten the meaning of lifeThe purpose of leading a life today is unknown. The new era lives on money. It seems money makes a man.There are people who really live in castles, eat, speak and breath rich, just to find later the ugliest of their hearts.In our daily life, every morning we wake up to read of uncontrolled violence, easy blood and deaths, torture against women and children in all forms, stories of cruel human beings.Yet, we manage to think about it all and go to sleep.There is a lot of improvement in science and technology today and the modern world needs to be proud of it. But these very same developments have induced immense stress in working people, who hardly notice the days passing by.On the other hand, there are a great number of people in India who have totally devoted their life to take care of the poor and needy. They are living gods. Though we need less definition for what life is, let us remind ourselves of what we have forgotten and lead a life we would cherish. This is the world we live in and the life we are living.Do you have anything to say?
