Our lives are all inter-connected

I was sitting and eating breakfast that day. Slowing eating (as usual) when a thought struck me. And after that, I couldn't look at anything the same way. 

All around me...Every single thing that I use or need for my day to day life, was created by someone's hard work. The oven, the stove, the masalas, the milk, even the carton, the chairs, the table, the plates, the cushions, the cups, etc. All of them were made by someone somewhere and now I'm depending on that someone for my daily routine. That perfect stranger is someone I'm relying on for their life's work so that could function like a normal human. 
I didn't realize it until that day. I was just going through life so ungrateful and unaware of other people's work. I didn't know the degree of dependence with which I actually relied on others. 

Going on with my life.....my life's work someday will  be used by someone else in the future to help meet their needs in their life. Maybe I've already aided to someone's need. Maybe someone is already benefiting from my work. Maybe that someone is you. (/?)

Look around you, we're all connected. We all need each others knowledge, skills, work, capabilities in our lives. We have varying needs and we all are dependent on other's various provision. Whether it's the internet, textbooks, bed, cloth, plastic hangers, T.Vs, movies, guitar.....even some tiny knick-knacks and memoirs. They are all someone's life's work or dream....and they are in your possession...their work in your hands. 

We all need to stop belittling others professions...their passions and occupations. For even if you don't consider it a good occupation to earn money and make a living...that doesn't mean someone else shouldn't. You will realize eventually the need for every productive* work in your life. We're all dependent on each other's services and that's the truth.


We are all really united on a subconscious level. But we don't always act like it. We look down on people with lower income jobs. We shouldn't. For we need their work too. We all need to behave more respectful to each other. And most importantly....Be grateful....you wouldn't be where you are today  without the help of the many professions you knowingly or unknowingly take the benefit of. 


*Productive work is any work that creates or adds value to something. By this definition, murder and stealing isn't a work as it unlawfully displaces goods, hurts people and doesn't really create anything desirable or useful.

Fears and Phobias

Everyone is scared of something or the other. 
But one shouldn't think less of a person who gets scared of things you don't particularly consider scary. 

Because we're all human here. We need to support each other. It's simply stupid to judge or make light of someone's fears. 

I know, because, fears can paralyze you. Fears can make you feel small and helpless in certain situations and like all humans...We need help. And we won't get that help if we're being constantly ridiculed of our fears.

Support people. Give them the confidence, courage and opportunity to get over their fears.  Don't make them feel like the only one feeling that way about something. We all have our fears. Some may have more or less. Some may react differently to fears. 

But please do always attempt to control and vanquish your fears. Or at least make the personal decision that one day or another, you're going to be freed from this fear. And I hope, with all the hope I have in my heart...that one day...You'll conquer your fears...before your fears take over your life.   

Please see that you- Don't force people to face their fears without their approval, that's kinda rude. Let them decide for themselves how and when they want to do so.
