I was looking through my friend’s blog and came across this photo, taken when he was in India.
See the contrast? (The little kid at the back is a beggar)
I think we do not need a photo with such strident contrast to remind us that the world we live in is indeed rifed with inequalities.
Whether it is an individual’s karma at work, or the world is as you see it as being marred with sin, I think its pertinent that each and everyone of us has our fair share of issues, inaptitude, set-backs, and idiosyncracies.
We all need to peel our eyes open and discard the parochial worldview we hold obstinately to.
Stop Judging and Start Understanding.
Afterall, everyone of us wants to be Understood; not Judged.

very true. we all wish to be understood. more often than not, ppl tend2judge at the first instant, right before we even get the chance to understand. or maybe it’s easier to place a judgement to “make sense” of things that might otherwise be unknown to us. after all, most ppl fear the unknown. most rather stay in their comfort zone and be condescending abt ppl that stray frm their way of life.
someone once said, “discrimination stems from ignorance” i honestly agree with it.
but i think..sometimes a secret expectation/hope to be understood by others aint helpful too. im guilty of that at times. maybe that’s when ‘seek to understand, than to be understood’ comes in.
ps: thanks for ur comment on the post. appreciate it.
