Do we really care for others????

Yesterday evening as many things occupied my mind, I was just flipping channels on tv when I came across a movie "Mussanje Maathu". I had read a review about the movie in my friend's blog so I thought let me watch the movie.

I watched the movie for some 10 mins, where an auto driver tells his story to Sudeep who is a RJ at Radio Mirchi and ‘Mussanje Maathu’ is a show run by him in the evenings where depressed call him up & share their problems. Here the auto driver tells about his life and how his mom had taken care of him throughout his life. One day when he was waiting for customers at the auto stand, one person comes to him and asks for help as some lady is seriously injured cos of an accident. He tells him to take them to some hospital to which the auto driver refuses telling its very far and only if u pay me double the meter il come. To this the person refuses as he does not have that much money. The same evening when the auto driver comes home he gets to know that the lady who was injured is none other than his mother who passed away few mins after he refused to take her to hospital.

This is a lesson to be learnt not only by auto drivers but by every single individual. In many situations we land up thinking about ourselves and not about others who might get affected by us handling the situation in a different way. What will i get if i do this, why should i do this, who has helped me, why should i help others, what benefit do i get, please remove all these questions from mind and help people in need when they need you. Yes, its true that in some cases we need to think about ourselves, our family but not always! There are many situations where a small help from us might help others change their life. Lets start caring for the society also sometimes!
