The killer named Selfish

It has always amused me to see what all people do just to be in the limelight. I can talk about this as I really don’t give a damn about all these issues. I believe that if one is to get fame it is through what they actually are, through their passions. Right from the start I have been seeing people giving all sorts of incentives to others just in order to get at the top of the hierarchy, be it in a small club or in a country. People seldom remember that with fame comes responsibility which is one of the many words which humans fear in someway or the other.

Though I am now far away from home and supposedly enjoying my college life I still notice that there many people who are still trying to get the spotlight on themselves or on a larger view trying to make themselves profitable. Recently I happened to see the hindi movie namely ‘Swades’. In a particular scene in the movie they talk about how our Indian tradition and culture is so very rich and how the people are so much better than the westerners. To be more specific they claim that they uphold their tradition and culture. Sadly the so called ‘traditions’ have been tweaked every now and then according to our own needs. If we notice nowadays no one at least from the major metropolitans even has an idea about what their tradition talks about leave alone follow.

People are just so interested in getting their work done. They really don’t give a damn about others. I feel the fact that selfishness has always been the root cause to the downfall of any civilization. Though people talk about repairing all the damage that has been done like mass deforestations and pollution of the environment, it is just not possible. The fact is that damage caused is way too much and can only be repaired if we start afresh. I have a feeling that the apocalypse is not too far away. All the speculations of it occurring in 2012 and so on might happen see the ways things are occurring.
