Our Family

Our Family...sounds good when we all say or hear such words. These words make us feel that we have some people in our life with whom we have a spiritual relationship. Every family has to face good and bad times, i know there's nothing new in this fact but what about those people who suffer the good and bad times alone... without a family.

The other day i met a little beggar child who asked for alms from me and my friend. I gave him a rupee and asked him where is his family and what does his father do? he says" India is my family. All these people who give me alms or kick me or feed me instead of giving money are my relatives." my friend and i couldn't believe on what he said so i asked again,"why do u consider this country as your family?" he replied," because in this world i have no one to call my own except this country. If anything good happens to it, i am happy. If anything wrong happens to it, i suffer with the people."

See how a beggar child can say so easily that i love my country and its a big family. Its difficult for most of us to say this because we don't come out from our general family sphere. It's like a circle is made for some of us and we don't have to move out of it unless permitted to be a part of the big family either by defending it or voting for the leaders,otherwise bound to the natural family and have the arrogance and say, "who cares? It will be same for next ten years to come why should we bother about our country and why should we try to change it?"

There are people who don't even consider that if they start bringing changes in a family it will be better for the next generation to come. The new generation will play more active role in it. Nothing wrong can happen if changes are meant for the betterment of the country and its people and this implies not to India alone but all the countries of the world.

There are other people who do take active part in the scenario of changing the phase of the country but these people are always facing the setbacks in their roles. Who's fault is it? Nobody can determine it.

And finally there are those who change the scenario to some extent but then they lie dormant for their own benefits.

Bringing changes in the family,whether the changes are big or small one has to make efforts in that field. The only difference in the natural family and country is that we can bring changes in our natural family on small scale but in country we have to make changes on large scale. If family members won't bring changes in the family then who will??
