Today I was touched with a saying in the newspaper" Work to live " or" Live to Work" . This is a dilemma which most of the people face while introspecting and the answers are not so simple. There is another view of life and we must get matured to live that life-" Life to Serve"!
In the heat of fierce competition, we loose sight of good and bad , love and hatred, Men and Women, Young and Old, Rich and Poor. But nature provides us an opportunity at every moment of life to serve. Serve does not mean donating money, distributing old clothes etc but is a realisation to identify an opportunity to serve. How many of us hold the hands and help an old woman to cross the road, how many of us wait while we drive a car when an old man signals us to wait to let him cross. But we are all busy in the dilemma of solving " Work to live " or " Live to Work" and ignore these alerts and opportunities. Again in contrary I often observe when all of us sit , discuss, chat and interact with each other in group or one to one, we often look out for an opportunity to talk and blame others- our systems, our society our culture, our office, our race etc. etc. We forget to realise that we are a part of a system, a society, a race, an office, a home etc. HOW CAN WE FIND A OPPORTUNITY TO START & MAKE A SMALL DIFFERENCE FROM MYSELF, INITIATE THE CHANGE, rather than talking, exhibit and walk the talk. The more we ignore these alerts, we feel more important and proud.
Let us resolve to our selves and not get trapped in rat race and look for an opportunity to serve. Small things make big life. This will lead to Life to Serve!
