Value of Mankind

THE VALUE OF MANKIND:


Recently, while hanging out with my friends I noticed a boy of around 17 years of age alight from a chauffeur driven car, the driver was of the age of his grandfather and after getting off from the car the boy ordered him to park it somewhere and join him to carry his bags. After a few minutes he returned with a friend of his and the old driver walking behind him laden with bags. The friend of his, was elder to him and he was referring as "bhaiya."

The point which draws attention from this instance is that, just because the chauffeur was poor and was hired by the boy he didn't deserve any respect and that elder friend of his who was of his status got addressed with respect. The question that arises is: Is the value and importance of a person decided from his financial worth?

We have to make the upcoming generation understand that a person is not to be treated as per his financial worth or the possessions he has. Every human being be it young or old must be treated with love and respect because no body remembers you for the wealth you possess but for the way you treat them.

When a child is born he deserves love, care and respect from his parents, a woman deserves love and respect from her husband and child, An elderly deserves respect from his child and people around him. So irrespective of age and gender, we as humans seek, expect and deserve to be treated well. The treatment to a person works as per newton's third law of motion, the way you treat and value a person the same way you will be treated back.

Is valuing somebody with love and respect so costly that the mankind can't afford it nowadays? The problem that we face today is our modern mentality: We try to impress people by showering tangible goods and gifts and we try to show how much we care for them but on the other hand what the person really desires are the intangible qualities like love and care and to spend time.

But again....... all can't afford it...!!!!
