Paradox of Life...

Oh My Goodness!!! This was my reaction when I got to know something from a middle aged man who referred his employee labourer for treatment of acid burn on his hand. After writing a prescription, I casually asked him about the wages he gave to his workers and when I heard 25 rs an hour i.e. 180 Rs a day for an 8 hours intensive work in unhygienic and sometimes dangerous situations...that too in todays date of so much inflation, my jaw literally dropped... Immediately my mind started making analysis of the matter... in my instance for example, professionals like me charge for a consultation of 15-30 mins, double or triple the amount an average labourer earns in one single day... as a matter of fact the actual nation builders are these labourers who have to toil and sweat everyday sometimes without a single holiday to relax!!! Why so much disparity ... the haves have so much and still make so much whereas the have-nots have nothing and make nothing... I cant imagine what will a man feed to his dependants and family members or what education a father can impart to his children with a meagre salary of 180 rs a day??? And still people from higher strata keep wanting more n more to fulfill their dreams of possessing luxury brands...to splurge on their expensive n exotic vacations... Its time that we stop and reconsider this whole social ecosystem which is getting imbalanced because the rich is getting richer and the poor is getting more poorer... lest we might end up with social unrest soon... which isnt good for our future generations. Let us begin by caring for the people who work under us and serve us.. if they are unhappy we must look into their reason and extend help as and when needed, as a father looks after his children... if we become responsible for our employees, a lot many will be taken care of and gradually the circle of beneficiaries can be extended depending on the capability and willingness of the benefactor. Let us put ourselves in their shoes and Feel what they feel and see the world with their eyes... its worth taking a pause in our hectic lives busy achieving material targets because God forbid what if we may end up in their places when all of our good merits have expired and its time we get back what we may have passed on to them in some life!
