When I see the world around me, can’t help but feeling the
world is being set up for the worst kind of Doomsday. The kind seen in movies
like 2012 and Deep Impact. Needn’t be a nature related cataclysm but I get a
really strong feeling that the world as we know it isn’t going to be around for
much longer.
I’ll tell you my reasons for this paranoia. The Eurozone
crisis and unrest in countries like Syria, The extreme financial crisis being
faced by Greece, the political-cum-tactical games being played by China against
India , America losing face along with it’s credit rating at the world stage,
Iran building it’s own nuclear weapon despite the international pressure and
the worries that Pakistan’s nuclear weapons might end up in the hands of
terrorists; are just a few of the things that make me feel , that we are on the
verge of World War III. And we all know how this one will end.
Reading too much newspaper has done me in, I should say.
But there is one thing that gives me the willpower and
optimism to stand up and go about my chores every day , and that is the sound
of my neighbor’s baby boy laughing as his mother plays with him every morning.
The sound of giggles he makes when mommy tickles him cleans my heart of any
traces of pessimism I had gathered throughout the previous day. If God decided
to send another life to Earth at times like this, Surely he must be giving us
another long lease at life and happiness.
That kid doesn’t care what kind of crap is going on in the
World as long as the woman he loves more than anything in this world (yet) is
with him to protect him till the very end. All people like me can get inspired
by him.
We all have people who would die before letting anything
happen to us, and for whom we would do the same. Its for them that we should
make an effort, after all , they are the
main thing our world is made up of.
If everybody thought about the people they loved and lived
just for them, the world would automatically become a much better place to live
in.
It might count as short-sightedness, but just like that baby
I have decided to live day by day, not caring much for what developments in the
world might mean in the long run, I’ll enjoy each day as it comes, being
optimistic that nothing wrong can happen till that kid has seen life, had good
moments , fallen in love and lived to the fullest. That must be God’s plan. Why
else would He send him to earth at times like this?? :)
