In this fast world today, we are running after work, after money, after social prestige, after winning, etc.…
Something that we are doing right now is running to make our life better. We never stop to think about the society as a whole. Very few among us stop to think about the society as a whole.
We are always running to raise our position in the society so that we can get a comfortable life and a life full of appreciation. we like and enjoy to get appreciated, to be complimented by others.
Here lies the problem……
When we are asked to do the same to others, what happens to us is, we never turn up to appreciate others.
I was having a friendly conversation in my society with my friend circle about this. We were trying to go to the root of this problem as to, why don't we appreciate?
What we could conclude from the open discussion is that…people do not like to highlight the talents, beauty, potential and achievements of others because they don't want to underestimate themselves.
We think that, if we appreciate others, we tend to give a superior post to them . So we don't like to highlight others. But we like to get appreciated by others. This strange behavior is expanding with each passing days..
this is the time to reflect. Why shouldn't we appreciate the good qualities of others??
If we do not highlight them, good things will never come up in the society…
If we do so we can also be sure that somebody else will show the same gesture to us. But if we do the opposite, then we will also get the opposite in return. And that is 'complains'. This will be the case because by Newtons third law " Every action has an equal and opposite reaction".
This also implies that we are getting narrowminded gradually.. when we are small we get lots of appreciation from elders. But strangely as we grow. We get into the competition market. We always want to be the ‘ best’ performer. Everybody cannot be best in everything. Everyone has their own, individual qualities and talents.. If we are good at something then another person will be good at something else. So we should individually appreciate others for their own set of skills.
Appreciation is a great art. Not all people can do this. But why should we be so much congested and narrow minded??
Should we not reflect on this???
