I was taking a train from virar to dadar to reach my new ghatkopar office. I saw these two beggar girls singing and playing their instrument. Their comprised age won't be greater than 13. Everyone tried to avoid them. For once, I thought to lend a coin but felt lazy to get my wallet out and also since we just follow the crowd!
As soon as they left our row, my conscience started fighting me. I had to find an excuse to cover my laziness. I started playing thoughts in my mind.
I thought about our society and the processes laid down by humans. Being a kid, we are forced to go to school; we are not allowed to go outside the house. Then we are forced to visit our relatives, forced to be in office everyday. Even if we try to avoid these processes, we would be hit back and forced to follow them. The reason behind this is there’s no other alternative.
In nature’s term, we may avoid our hunger and thirst for few days but since there’s no other source to be alive, we would do everything possible to quench them.
If we don't pay these beggars irrespective of their age, their conditions, there wont be any other alternative left for them besides work. These small kids may be forced to do what they are doing but let us shut this alternative. Let them feel that they can't get anything this way. It may make them fight their masters, who force them to choose this method & sooner or later they may find the natures way.
Hey! Two excuses out of my shear laziness.
