A face in the crowd

Whenever I happen to see a hapless human on the TV screen, through any news item or any media I always wonder, it is not the only case in isolation, you pick any face in a crowd everyone has a story to say. All people are born good and healthy but with passage of time they transform; transform beyond recognition. Sometimes we love their transformation and sometimes we don’t. Look at any kid in and around your neighbour hood or in a refugee camp of some distant country the smile on their face in unique and similar. Their needs are same, their aspirations are similar they only know one thing ‘to be in love’.

However, with passage of time, the series of events that occur in their life makes them someone else; so that we offer our judgment on them. A small innocent and divine soul when transforms into a materialistic and pleasure seeking creature is difficult to decipher.

In our childhood story books we read a story “Pandora’s Box”. How pains, sufferings and finally hope came to our world. It used to be a fascinating fable, but you know what I believe, it is we who destroyed the serenity of this world. You go to any beautiful forest or hill station and try to imagine the world without us. I bet, the picture you will imagine would be wonderful and beyond our imagination.

That is why sometime I wonder why at all we were brought to this world, to see others suffer, to be a part of this suffering at some point of time. Anyway these are the few questions I am searching for an answer but yet to find any. Till such time whenever I will see a face in the crowd these thought will always crowd my mind and I will continue to go into a state of oblivion.
