JOIN US Mental attritions and body burnouts were virtually unheard of in those days. Apparently, a person seldom employed devious moves to scale the dizzying heights of success, or adopted the survival-of-the-fittest mode of life during those times! Instead, each one proffered unmitigated help/support to the other, in times of need.
But today, many of us, bracketing exceptions, hem n' haw even to utter a sorry/thanks, which could create magical impact in certain situations. In fact, we have become so self-centered to the extent of not caring a damn fig about others' problems/discomforts, and we dither over even doing some itsy-bitsy good things to others. Interestingly, we don't even mind striding over/trampling upon our possible contenders, just to attain the zenith of our own personal success.
This mental fixation with oneself is obviously sparking surplus harm to our over-all well-being. Indeed it's time we discerned what we're losing out in the bargain, causing irrevocable damage to our mind/body. It's time we realised the invaluable worth of nurturing good relations with our fellow beings. For, no amount of materialistic wealth can offer the solace/comfort that's gained out of good relations. Moreover the joy derived out of great interpersonal equations with others, could be a sure-fire 'antidote' to the 'self-destructive' mental stress in today's world!
Just try sharing your euphoria when you're feeling exhilarated, and watch the happiness getting doubled! Or, when you're drowning in doldrums, try sharing your despondency with a kindred soul, and see how this acts as catharsis, melting away all your gloom!
Well, to build up these sturdy bonds with others, we should first learn to slough off our egos, shed off our self-centeredness, and strip our personae off that callous attitude! Instead we ought to try developing a loving n' compassionate approach, which can work wonders in forging bonds with our fellow folks. Warm/polite words, radiant smiles, genuine appreciations, thoughtful gestures, all go a long long way in fostering great vibes with other people.
