<p> 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. <br /><br />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. <br /><br />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! <br /><br />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! <br /><br />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. </p>
