A BIG FAMILY
No, I’m not going to talk about joint family with uncle, aunt and grandparents and stuffs like that, although I would recommend it as the best option. Now I’m here to talk about a much bigger family, “US”. Most people may not think it this way, but we all are part of one huge family called humanity. Nowadays it is breaking into tiny bits because of some selfish reasons. Let’s take a quick peek at the beginning. Thanks to our great ancestors Adam and Eve (so the story goes) we entered this world. Our first battle started for survival. Back then it was humans against dinosaurs and other natural calamities. Thanks to a big meteorite hitting the planet thousands of years ago, now it’s just humans vs. humans. We do not fear the great beasts which once ruled our earth for it is now just a show material in a museum.
Our only fear now is of each other because of the diversities we have created for ourselves. Our diversity starts from castes to street, city and finally nation. Each joining forces at times to survive against the other. What else can be a better example than a cricket match? In world cup we support “India” and in IPL we support “Chennai super kings” although the other teams have Indian players too. From this it is clear that we join together only when something poses a greater threat in common to all. Let’s imagine an alien attack on earth. If that happens then all the leaders of the nations will join together and stand strong to defend the world. At that time we will not be called based on which nation we are from or from which castes. We will be remembered as human beings fighting for humanity. My question is that, why wait for an invasion from another world to make us realize that we are humans and we care for each other despite the differences among us? So instead of waiting to find a reason to show that we actually care for the lives of other people, can’t we just accept that love is the only reason needed to care for the others? Love is unconditional after all. And the only reason that makes a family stick together is love. Even the blood relation loses its value if there is no love in such relation. With love by our side we are a single family. And there will be only one family name called human. This family will have love, care and respect for each other in the world. So therefore to maintain our big family, loving each other is the only price we need to pay.
Thanks to my team members I realized it before getting any help from a walking stick. Now I can live my life to the fullest without any regrets and with all of you as my family. I end my article with a hope that everyone has a positive answer for the question.
