I was watching an episode of TMKOC, that episode touched my heart , made me emotional and then made me to question myself….
In that episode a child comes to his teacher and was asking for work soo that by doing that he can help his parents , he was not attending online classes because his parents lost the job and they were not privileged enough to afford smartphone…..
Seeing all this make my think that i m soo privileged to have all those basic access still in our country there are lacs of children, and youngsters who don’t have these basic necessities still i m complaining…
All lockdown went on sometimes being happy , sometimes being stressful and sometimes complaining, but that episode made me think for a moment that all these stress and complains were useless comparatively, God has blessed me in many ways then also i m not counting blessings and stressing alot.
I feel that its not just about me, most of youngsters spending time on social media are going through the same, social media, entertainment and many other things has taken toooo much control over our lifes that we can’t see the world outside that. We all Privileged Ones are getting Trapped in a bubble, that bubble is not letting us see anything outside social media, in reality there are lots of real issues but we always cry over our small things only because we have soo much and instead of being greatful for that we spend time in making mountain of our problems.
During online classes privileged students passed time watching YouTube , using social media and not concentrating on studies, but just think about future of those kids whose 1 year got wasted because of unavailability of smart phones.
Everywhere many things started online, but no one ever thought of those students, making arrangements for them was a huge task but if anyone had initiatived then it won’t be soo huge.
I know all of sudden you can’t feel sympathy towards those kids without feeling their problems, but atleast try to understand them its not a crime to be privileged but one should always be humble enough to understand other’s real issues.
Try to come out of your own bubble and look at world with different perspective, understand that god has given you soo much, look at people below you, understand their problems, then you will feel that your problem is nothing infront of them.
Things which made me stresfull can give me streess to some extent even in future, i m not saying that becoming humble will completely help let go our own problems, but when we take our problems too much seriously then life just becomes a bubble of our own thoughts which doesn’t exists really.
