Friends

Two disturbing thoughts were hitting my mind, so I thought let me share with you. These are :

1. Big city people always treat the smaller city people differently than the similar city person. I noticed many times this during the course of my professional assignments. Despite the fact that a person of small town may be highly knowledgeable, rich and reputed in the society than the person of big city, who may not even be well settled there. Even today some one coming from a village to a town would face different treatment, a town fellow going to city would face the same situation too. This goes on at every stage. City fellow going to metro and then overseas big cities and all. Typically in most of the cases the smaller area person ends up with low image and confidence as compared to the bigger one. He is taken for granted too many a times till the situation turns the table.

2. When we were young, whatever parents said we never mind that and followed their instructions irrespective of the consequence. We were refused to go to many parties, outings, movies etc. etc. and as soon as we started earning, got married our behaviour changed. We became more matured, intelligent, analytical and started taking their advices more in negative mode. Why this has happened that forget instructions even their suggestions were taken as threat to our ego. Would it not happen to us when we attain their age?What feeling they would be having on our responses? Would not they feel frustrate, irritate or helpless? The world is like a mirror, you get whatever you give and hence whatever response we are giving to our elders, we would be receiving same when we attain their age. So please beware.
