'Being Human'

Sarcasm is the new sexy. 
We tend to love the quirky comments and the mean replies while ridiculing is proudly quoted as"Savage" and anything but a sane comeback gets you a "Burn" .
Why did we let this become a trend?
Because it's fun.
Yes, It is . It is Fun from your end. Have you ever given a little thought about how the person on the receiving end feels?
The answer is No. A Big Fat No.
That is what we have become . Voices echoing heavy sarcasm and Hearts ridiculing anyone with a different perspective.
Aren't we becoming the bullies?
Back then,when we were little,the teachers taught us what good and bad habits is and every one of us attended a class called "Moral Science" ,the mere motive of which is to sow the seeds of good-deeds into the innocent minds and to raise them as adults with great responsibilities.
With every passing class, we dreamt of being the good-guy of every such story.
We lived as the Hero of the tale and inevitably,there have always been a 'Bad-Guy' in each of those stories, the one who is rude and usually ill-treats people. 
In our minds, we would talk senses into the bad guy and make him repent for his mistakes.
Well, In a perfect world that would've been the case.

But Years Later, the irony hits us and BAM ! "We're the Bad-Guys."
We have transformed into something terrible. 

 "I'm not Bad, just Evil!" - Wow that's so psychopathic! , let's trend it.

Somebody pisses you off, show them your "Middle Finger", because seems like there's no other way to sort this out.

Even in Films, we root for a character that's so disturbing and calls him "Cool" even when he blows off a building killing many lives, just because he gets to be sarcastic and spits out dialogues that are "Savage AF".

Taking revenge has become acceptable and trashing someone just because they've a different point of view makes u a "Badass".

 Using swear words on a social forum gets you many likes and a many more 'Ha-Ha' Reactions.

 Look around yourself. What have we done to ourselves.
When Negativity creeps in, Shut the door on its face.Instead,Don't Embrace it. 
In the process of getting so much attached to negativity, we tend to lose focus on everything that's good around us.

A Ten year old kid walks into the school and wishes, "Good Morning, Watchman Uncle".

My housemaid once said, "Drive Safe , Ma . Your mother is worried about u and so am I".

On a rainy day, An Auto driver offered me an umbrella and asked to keep it with me so that I won't get drenched.

The cleaner at my office-place smiles at me everyday with a question, " Had your lunch , Madam".

I wished "Happy New Year" to a guy who gives away pamphlets at the office gate, every-time we meet, he recognizes me and asks , how am I doing?

A little kid gets hit by her best friend during a fight and once her best-friend asked for an apology, she patches up with him when asked why, all she said was, "He is a good boy because he asked sorry. We'll play and I won't fight with him again".

A random poster  quoting, "Did you smile today?" made my day.


Let's Put our Cell Phones down and be Kind to people who are Flesh-and-Blood.
Say Thank-You to the waiter who serves you. He fed you with a Happy Meal.

Say Thank-You to the OLA driver who drives you safe to your home through the "Roads" that can't even be termed so.

Say Thank-You to the guard who opens the doors for you. In a society that doesn't even treat you like a human being, he treats you like a highborn.

Say Thank-You to the person who cleans your washrooms. She literally puts up with your shit.

Take a moment and wish them , a good day.
Because,'Being Kind' is the Need of an Hour.

Every one of us are fighting our own battles. Let's wipe each-other's blood with a bit of kindness.

Save the Smiles and They'll Save you Back.
