Reality Check: People Matter!

People suffering from any mental ailment are labelled by society as crazy or unfit or whatnot. They just want to be happy, dont we all? So how come the only solution is to lock them up and abandon them? Lets face it, we only talk about mental health awareness, its just another post which will be forgotten

I think at the end of the day, we all just want to be understood. Even if one cant come up with solutions, only a simple nod or a hug would do. With the advancement of technology, we abuse it. Screen shots, forwarding messages to even making memes out of personal pictures, where is the progress? Can we not use a little bit of love and little less of aggression? This is not the new age one was expecting. Man-made disasters are everywhere! Is there a helpline for avoiding all these negativity? How do we stop the cyberbully? What is entertainment to one is misery to another. Alas, we yet again live for the immediate gratification and we refusal to be empathetic. When the elders talk about surviving their days without the need for messaging; only the rich could afford a cellphone, most houses did not even have landline; how their alarms did not blast from their phones but from the ever-green, wound-up clocks which are now not even sold in most shops. Our whining need to be constantly in touch is suffocating. We have forgotten whats it like to be with one's own company. Virtual world has become the reality and now the negative emotions have their twisted way of festering. Welcome to the new age! We dreamt of a shiny future and we have attained one which is glittering with superficial architecture woven with competition, aggression and fear. Is it too late for humanity? I believe not. The motto is "Don't be blind with hatred, The world can only heal with love."
