The Ray of Light

By Ms. Grishma Dalal

There are struggles everywhere. Everyone is struggling. But what the youth needs to understand is that during struggles, we can still find a way to stay joyous. Not only ourselves, but everyone surrounding us can try their own way to stay happy. Not only we just have so many responsibilities, but everyone is facing some issues and what is required is understanding between human beings. Better understanding is so much required along with better communication. Be kind to others. Being kind costs zero rupees and there is no lie that life is boomerang. Whether you like it or not, whether you have noticed or not, but you get what you give. So why not give kindness to receive the same back? Some might find it difficult to execute since we are always asked to not trust anyone. But that doesn't mean we become harsh and cruel as a human being. We can try to be a better person and set example to our next generations. We can teach our children to be better human being. There is absolutely no need to fight verbally or physically. There is absolutely no need to kill people over trivial matters. Everything can be discussed well.

Have you ever thought of this deeply and calmly? The time and energy people waste in quarreling with each other can be saved and diverted to simple communication and discussion. People need to understand that everyone is different. It is not necessary for people to force other people to fit into certain environments. Let them be them and you be you. Different people simply have different perspectives and different ways of looking things. That is called being opiniated and who is not? Everyone is opiniated if you observe closely. The only thing is that some people’s opinion match and some differ. No need to be cruel, harsh, and rude just because of that. Accept that it is universal. Life would be indeed dull if everyone was same and if there were no difficulties. I recreated that old quote if you know what I said.

Being kind is not enough. But there is another thing that everyone should understand and be aware of. Scammers. I have absolutely no idea where these scammers are born and what really makes a scammer, a scammer. But the fact that scamming of people is increasing day by day is concerning. So, this way, I don’t know whether scammers read or not or have habit of reading, but I decided to put in words, a small message.

“Dear scammers, everyone is really struggling. You are not the only ones struggling. So, stop creating nuisance and frauds especially financially. Do you have any idea that some righteous people don’t even have food to afford? But they don’t go creating chaos and disturb other’s lives. So please have some insight and please understand that we want kind people more. Please do not create troubles. We are already going through hell. Don’t be part of hell or else you will go to hell at last anyways as God knows everything as they are omnipresent to note your actions.”

Kindness is considered weak. In a society, we keep listening and reading bad news about so many things. However, half of the problem would have never been there only if people were kind. There are people who love to support those who do unkind things thinking that is the only way to survive whether it be workplace or at relatives’ place. Have you thought that problems could have solved if only people didn’t support unkind acts? Difficult right? Well yes, after-all people always do things that are easy for them and give them a comfort zone. Imagine making kindness a comfort zone for self and for others? Won’t it be right thing to do?

Just coming to closure of the whole things discussed above. There is already lot of darkness in the world. Live in peace and harmony to live longer. A thought that life is short, and we all live only once, won’t it be right to live it the right way? Be someone’s hope, just like J-Hope (Jung Hoseok) of BTS. Be someone’s sunshine when they are facing heavy rain. Be a ray of light in someone’s darkness. One person can make huge difference. One ray of light, millions of rays of light. Still there will be some darkness and unkind things to face but at the least we will be hopeful that we are and can be someone’s light and so as someone else can be ours.

Thank you
