Ignorance is bliss. Oh! Really?

We people have a simple funda to get out of any damn circumstances – ‘Ignore it’. If something doesn’t bother us – ignore and if it bothers us – ignore it too. We have surpassed all limits of ignoring things around us. I-don’t-give-a-damn attitude is good but in this century it has clearly taken a toll over us.

I wonder how we manage to put up a cold and indifferent front and pretend to be oblivious of the things around us. We don’t just neglect our duties (read responsibilities) towards the environment, the society or our family but also ourselves. On seeing a fellow who has met with an accident the first thought that comes to our mind is ‘Choddo na yaar, police k lafde mein kaun padega’ (Let it be. Let’s not get into such matter). A girl is being molested and harassed but we quite coldly disregard it. The nation is falling off a cliff but we are more interested in IPL matches.  Injustice is being done to someone but we are least bothered.  But have we ever stopped and thought that we could also be at the receiving end of any such situation and what if people throw a cold shoulder at you then?

How many more blasts will it take to bring the nation together? How many more natural calamities will take to make us realize that environment needs us like we need it? How many more bravehearts need to sacrifice before actually ensuring safety in this country? What will it take for us to come together and build an ideal nation which runs on humanity and peace?

p.s There is no ‘I’ in this post. Its only ‘we’. I’m not perfect either but my thoughts couldn’t be hidden within.
