PLEASE READ IT ALL THROUGH (THOUGH LENGTHY).
It was just another ordinary day, one Saturday. I had an appointment for my mother at KIMS to get her eyes checked and also to ensure the new spectacles are doing fine with her eyes. Myself, Amma and Shilpa were in que for our turn whereas Dr. R. Gopal was looking after his patients, one by one. Fortunately, or unfortunately, we did not take telephonic appointment, hence we had to wait a bit long for our turn. The corridor was full of patients, each and everybody waiting for some event to take place. Hospitals are probably one of the rare places, where all kind of emotions are mixed by the almighty. Some people come to hospital with a hope that – they will soon recover and get good medication to improve their health. On the other hand, there are people who are in the direction of loosing their hopes, and the Doctors are holding their hopes alive through all their efforts. Hats off to all the Doctors. In amidst of such events, I noticed a very young boy, hardly of 10 years on a wheel-chair assisted by his father. From the dressings of his father and body language, it appeared that – they are not from very rich background. For sure, they came to KIMS for some kind of treatment. The young boy, sweet boy indeed, was in KIMS patient uniform. He was sufferning from some peculiar disease. His throat was punctured with some medicated pipe and the poor boy was often coughing. Just unable to speak. Though – no tears on his eyes, but he was struggling a lot. With lot of control, he was just sitting silently on wheel-chair, but his cough was not within his control. Due to his disease, mild blood was coming out while he was coughing. By seeing his situation, naturally many of the bystanders nearby were feeling uneasy. Some of them were suggesting his father to take him to Emergency at the earliest. His father, another poor chap, was findhing himself very much helpless. Through his lungi, he was trying to cover his boy's mouth. Not many of us will be able to do with anybody. Believe me, it was very very tough situation for me. How can I help that young boy ? In few minutes, the KIMS sisters came and took the young boy along with his family members to ward. But a big and heavy question kept on pinging my brain all through for the next two days. And today, I am posting it as a blog. I know, many of you will feel sad reading the above portion. But its a hard truth. In a way or other, we all come across such events. How can I help such people ? Very difficult question posed by almighty on me. I am not having a clear-cut answer, but I am posting my views. We can help such people by: (1) Joining them in their sorrows. Such people can not be helped by just money. No, money can not buy everything. Join them. Don't keep hatred of hateful feelings towards such people. Tomorrow any one among us can be in his place. Never ever hate them. Try to love them. Though its very tough, but try to give love to them. They need love and care. If we can not give love to them, at-least do not hate them. (2) Try to avoid expressions, which can hurt them. Don't show extra sympathy, just because you feel sorry for them. They don't need your sympathy. They need your care and help. Help them. Treat them like normal. (3) Most important of all: to their near and dear – never pose any question, which can hurt them. God has balanced the society by giving something extra to somebody and taking away extra from somebody. Thats why there are poor and rich altogether. We can balance the society by filling this gap, not by widening it. So, dear friends. We are very very lucky to have great health and wealth within us. Many people don't have it. Please thank almighty for all the things, He has given us. Pray for the poor, who are not given such positive things. For sure, we can not give all our wealth and health to such poor people. But, But But.......we can share it with them, by (1) Not hurting them by reminding them – what they do not have. (2) Not posing heart-breaking questions to their near and dear. (3) Not showing hatred feelings towards them. Tomorrow we can be in their place. If you support my blog, please share with your friends and colleagues. If you don't like it, just ignore it. Thanks a lot for reading my full blog.
