Chapter 40: why don't we do simple things

 Why don't we do simple things which we know is good for us, family, society, country and the world. 

Why majority of public or let's say just I don't follow the basics learning I learnt about the society and how to help it. 

I know saving electricity is must but when I comes to me using laptop I keep it always on for charging. 

I know saving water is good but when it comes to taking a bath I don't mind having the tap open to have flow of water ready. 

I know composting is good and adding on to that I know seperating the waste is good for pickers and us at home but why don't I follow such basic steps. Even before 2024 I knew doing exercises, yoga, meditation etc is super good for health but why did I not give my time there. 

We take learning fir granted and actions to be grandiose. We know it's there but who would do it. It's not in our culture somehow to take initiative. Most people just want to follow others or maybe just want to criticize others and that's what discourages others who take initiatives.

So I think I had high moral grounds in my mind but I understood the irony about myself is that when I met people who were bringing change and I thought why I am not able to do that? It's because I have inhibitions within, I am just too embarassed to face it alone. 

So if I were to give context, there is person named dd, for what I know he started this clean up drive in CP to make people aware and concious about climate change and our habits. He may have started this alone for who knows till how many days. And I can't come up with courage to do that alone. 

It might not only be the courage I need, I also need to be indifferent of the peoples opinion around me and I need to consistent with my action, if I an just doing it for face, I don't think I will be a person who is a source of change. 

With all of these thoughts it's just become hard or next to impossible to work for change or society and even for self. It's easy to do it in personal space but with the family or society it's very hard. 

Even when writing about it, I do feel the motivation like uck it I will start today but then there comes the part will I be Hippocrates if I don't do the obvious at home or with my choices. 

Most of these inhibitions come from the thoughts of others, or more to the thoughts of others. And the motivation of ours behind any action. 


That's why it's easy to follow someone rather than to start on your own as you know whom you can learn from or be like bit when you don't have that picture or idea , you start on your own it's messy to start with and it just takes a lot to be a pillar. 

I think I can talk a lot about this but today i will commit to actions which I believe, i should had done earlier. 

Peace
