Humans are perceived to be superior beings that other living organisms because of their ability to think and feel. But it is exactly these two qualities which have made me feel horrible in the past few days.
I was thinking about the poor people all around us, living is abhorring conditions, not knowing if there is a next meal or a next day. I thought about those poor malnourished kids, weighing as little as the rice a well off family consumes each day.
It's not fair. What did we do to deserve what we have? What did they do to be punished by the world? And into a well of depression i fell. Cursing the society and our way of life.
You think about doing something for them. You think of doing some good. But then you realise, there is nothing you can do. A feeling of helplessness took over me. I hated the fact that I realised the horrors of the world but could do nothing about it.
Only people who can feel such things and understand them are doomed for bouts of depression and anger. The ones who remain indifferent go on with their lives. Not caring or not thinking about the unfairness and the madness of the society we live in.
As Jerry Seinfeld once said, "This is horrible! I care!"
