musings of budhdhu

Buddhu was sitting in front of Mother Bhagwati, and showing her a queue in a auto stand, a few women were standing in the long line, there were men also, one of the men in front of the women lighted a cigarette and started to blow out the smoke, the women were visibly disturbed but the man chose to ignore them and for the next thirty minute kept on smoking cigarette after cigarette.

Buddhu asked Mother that why did the women not protested when they were feeling so much bothered, after all government always says that cigarette smoking is harmful for health and it causes more harm to those who are nearby and inhaling that smoke.

Mother smiled ironically and showed him a scene, a woman was sitting beside window in a bus, there was a sign on the bus which said no smoking, a man was sitting right beside her, he did not asked for her permission and lighted a cigarette, the lady first fidgeted for a few minutes and then gently requested the guy to not to smoke because she does not likes the smoke.

The guy snubbed out the cigarette, turned at her and snapped that if she is so much choked by smoke she should go by taxis not bus. And for the remaining journey continuously grumbled and taunted the woman. The woman suffered the journey in blushed silence and got down at her stand. Not a single person supported her.

Then Mother Bhagwati told Budhdhu softly, I gave more intelligency to human beings to help each other, love each other but they used it to invent things which are slowly ruining them, and they have become so inconsiderate that they are ruining the entire earth with them.

Cigarette is too harmless in comparison, think, they invented religion, and now they are using it to kill each other, they invented dynamite and its current use is destruction. I think every thing they invent they use it for self destruction.

I have stopped looking at earth a long time ago, it is you who is forcing me to look at them again, but I wont get involved with them ever again, they are creating problems so they will solve it. All I will do is I will help you in your personal problems.
