I was wondering what if I were not what I am!
Its all chance that gave me birth in my country, my state, my family..
Had this not happened, If I had born like a beggar, not having anything to eat,
no place to sleep, no friends to talk to, no medicines to take if I am sick,
no importance attached to my existence in this world..
How would I feel? What would this world mean to me?
Or if I had born like a stray dog? Very sick and ugly? Roaming on the streets,
fighting for food near a public dust-bin..
Attracting contemptuous looks of all passers-by..
Don't I really deserve any love and affection?
Why is this world so imbalanced? what is their mistake?
Why are so many people homeless?
If at all God is present, why doesn't he care about his subjects??
You might say that its his sin in the previous birth which is why he is born stray.
After all why should anyone be punished? Lets say - rehabilitation
Dictionary meaning of Rehabilitation in this context is “restoration of someone to a useful place in society”. In order to change criminal, essential condition is he should know his crime. Only then he can think of not committing it again. But that’s not the case here. What is He(God) accomplishing by punishing someone in his next birth, when he is totally clueless of what he was in his last birth- if at all such a thing existed!
So I conclude that its just chance that decides where you are born. So it could certainly have been anyone of us! Only thing is luck favored u and me.I am grateful to my parents, brother, friends, relatives and everyone who helped me become what I am today. Now that I have my family, friends, enough money to go abroad and study, what should I be doing? Should I just look for my own comfort? Is it enough if I become filthy rich, build a house for myself, buy a car and have every kind of luxury?
Having born as privileged ones, aren’t we obliged to work for the betterment of lives of deprived ones? Many people abuse beggars on the streets. I am not saying we should give away money every time we come across a beggar. That would surely encourage begging, making them getting used to being unimportant and loosing self-respect which is even more dangerous. But is it not our responsibility to work for the betterment of other’s lives when we are capable of doing it?
How wonderful this world would be if everyone stops being materialistic, stops thinking only of her/his own gains. Greediness is the major reason for embezzlements and corruption in our country. As long as people do not realize that money is not everything, system is not going to change. So lets hope for a better country by being good, doing good to others, by understanding their suffering and doing whatever we can do for our humanity, for achieving equality.

-- i think god is a behaviorist. thats how they change behavior, through punishment and incentives.
when he is totally clueless of what he was in his last birth- if at all such a thing existed!
-- thats better,otherwise he would keep on whining for the mistake he did in the previous life.

--this statement is relative .
Now that I have my family, friends, enough money to go abroad and study, what should I be doing? Should I just look for my own comfort? Is it enough if I become filthy rich, build a house for myself, buy a car and have every kind of luxury?
-- if u think that is luxury .actually not only u ,everybody know happiness just doesnt come out from such luxuries. unfortunately , nobody bothered to be happy it seems.

-- yep i agree ,we have that responsibility . To take them out from the simple and sensible life and to give them our luxury where they would keep on searching for the bliss n happiness, which they could derive from a piece of bread previously.
