When light passes through a glass block,it tends to refract away from it's normal direction of movement.All this while,I've been thinking that such theories only applied for practical physics of objects.Now,I think that it even applies to the behaviour of the so called intelligent creatures of this planet...........us......humans.
As we endorse ourselves more and more into this technologically advanced world,we seem to care more about lifeless toys than the living heart of people.Above all,one thing really matters the most to most of us.......the paper printed with numbers ranging from 1 to 10000000 in some countries.........money.
Just that day,when I was sitting at the bus stop,there was this old man,partly disabled who was also sitting there.He had some deformities in his right leg and couldn't really climb a bus.So,he waited for a taxi.As a taxi drove by,he mustered all his effort to get up from his seat and call for the taxi.The taxi driver stopped,but upon seeing his physical appearance,just drove off.Then,there was another taxi driver who stopped.He too drove off because the disabled guy's destination was too near for him to make any good profit.A few more taxis passed by but didn't stop to help this helpless man.
Eventually,he gave up.Then,he decided to walk to his destination.As he walked off,I felt very pitiful for this man.It was painful to see him limping beside the busy roads.I wanted to help him but I didn't know how.A lot of thoughts were running through my head.By the time I could think of something,the guy was already lost from sight.I watched thinking why have humans changed so much.I wonder why have we refracted form the path of kindness.Till today,I feel like an idiot for not helping that guy.Maybe,I really should have done something.........
Another good example of human greed is the scandal which hit China a few years ago.Traces of melamine were found in dairy products for children.Many children suffered and died as most children drank milk.I can't really remember the reason melamine was added but I'm quite sure it was to reduce the usage of other nutritious and expensive ingredients.The businessman who was responsible showed no emotions during his trial,and was sentenced to death.But,what's the use?The damage had already been done.
These examples are a few of the many things that are happening in our world today.We have changed so much under the illusion that money makes us happy.Money can make us happy in some way,but our happiness might be at the cost of others.For example,the taxi drivers greed for money made life very difficult for the disabled guy.And the profit earned by the businessman cost the lives of many innocent children.
Don't choose money over love and kindness to living creatures.We are meant to protect and care for each other.Happiness is every where.....we just have to look for it.I find happiness in the peacefulness of the wonders of nature........and it doesn't even cost a cent.There's no point carrying along your wealth to the grave........but it's always worth having memoirs of happiness within your soul when it rests in peace.............
