NUMB

Humanity seems to be disappearing at a great pace. A person is appreciated when he fights, calling it "competitive spirit" and not when he works for a good cause. At that moment people say he's wasting time. 


             And oh! This reminds me this notorious phrase "people say." Why do we always have to do how, what, when "people say!!" Why is it for the society and not for ourselves. And what's the result?
Well neither gives satisfaction. You follow your dream and you end up making people around you unhappy; you follow their dream, you are unhappy! Stuck in this maze forever and ever.....
             I sometimes wonder, the person who sings and composes the song, the one who writes a beautiful piece of poetry; why isn't his actual feelings as beautiful as what he has composed. This was not something which has prevailed since ages, but it is now, feelings are dying as we are "advancing." Huh! Irony isn't it? We call this advancement.
            Whats the point!? You can build machines and put life into them without even realising that you yourself don't possess one. 
            Now-a-days, who even tells their younger generation that they should grow up to be a humble and a good human being and most important, stay happy with what they have. It makes me laugh, money is much more important than a damn life.
           We all talk about how insensitive people have become but when it's our turn to save a person dying by the roadside, we prefer standing there and watching rather than helping him out. And then we call ourselves rational too, 21st century genius.
           There are people who won't even come to know there's a person dead next door because they don't even know who their neighbour had been. So busy are we? Is that dead compassion?
           With each such step humanity literally dies. Each such deed strangles the feeling of humility.
We hold the evil high above us and then keep on wondering what kind of deplorable state have we come to.
