World has lost Humility

Sometimes it really makes me wonder, where is all the humility in the world lost to. Common man, its such a simple and straight forward concept. What is wrong in being humble, it breaks me into pieces thinking that man lets his ego rule over his humility. I would like to take this opportunity and explain that being humble is not a sign of weakness, its a sign of strength. Once a friend of mine told me the only way to attain true spirituality is to admit that you don't know shit and ask for guidance, give unto a guru and accept his hand. This is spot on, giving up ones pride is the greatest thing a man can ever do. "THANK YOU" for helping me with this, two simple words can bring joy in the other persons life. Admit for once in your life that maybe you do not know everything and maybe the person trying to help you is actually trying to help you. Not everyone is out to rip your guts, I am sick of this feeling. Everywhere I look people are trying to understand trying to interpret what the hidden signs are or trying read between the lines for every action. If I can stop thinking like that and take actions as they are maybe people around me will stop being the bitches that they are trying so hard to be. And so if everyone think like that then the world can be a much better place.

A simple thanks can take the relationship a long long way. So I know of this person who loves to say thank you every now and then, people make fun of him saying he is a fake. Guys common he is being thankfull for what you were already expected to do. Let it be fake atleast he is trying, what the fuck did you accomplish by complaining that he is a fake. People walk away saying dosti mina kya formality but you see its not about formality it about you being glad the other person is helping you. Haan kya farak padta hai woh hai na he will do it for me, well surprise surprise but that is the most shittiest thing you could have thought about him. I mean excuse me if you want to get something done do it yourself, why ask someone else. I am not at all saying that I do not want to help or if someone shouldn't help, what I am trying to put forward is if someone is helping you then you have no right to take him for granted and make treat him like its a favour you are doing for him which should have been the other way around.

Again I am not saying we shouldn't help, am just saying if being helped be humble enough and give the person helping you a little gratitude. I as a habit always try as far as possible to not ask for favours and if i do I make sure I am humble enough to not take him for granted and appreciate him going out of his way. But then the opposition will argue that he is my friend I can always ask him for favour, yes you can but there is a fine line between asking and telling and I feel one shouldn't cross that line.

Just because he is willing to help does not mean you tell him to do it. A wise man I tell this friend of mine is aka Chandu, when we were young which was like say 2 years ago we used to get shit drunk. On one such day he said always when doing things for others make them realize its a favor being done for them, I had big fight with him saying kuch bhi nonsense. But then that makes sense now, to control this un humble egoist male chauvanist behaviour one has to be cruel. Well I cant be that and hence I preach. The argument that I am trying to put forward is that when you do a certain something for a friend and the entire episode comes back to you saying ' hey asshole' you are doing it wrong do it this way, well balls to you bitch. Some say the environment gives or returns to you what you contribute or give unto it, well I like that concept but that idea has certain limitations. That only holds true for Nature and the universe, Humans on the other hand are scum they consume what is given to them and move on.

Think about it, when was the last time you thanked your maid or thanked your dhobbi wala or thanked the waiter serving you food. Yes they are doing their jobs and yes they are getting paid for it but a little expression of appreciation can make them feel good about themselves. It will give them a small glimmer of joy knowing the fact that someone out their likes or is happy that they are doing what they are doing.

Do something for spirit of humanity Thank everyone around you. I know time and again I can mess up my chain of thought and go on tangents, please bare with me. And yes Thank you for reading.. :)
