Many a times when we see something wrong going on or when injustice happening somewhere or when we see rude behaviour, we think that we should not bother about such things and mind our own business. Most of us are taught to react in this manner right from childhood.
Imagine that we are travelling by a rickshaw and the driver is continuously spitting, it is our duty to make him understand that spitting on the road causes various diseases, and in general, it is a bad habit. But if we think 'why should we bother?' then the result could be that we could get infected in one way because of this.
Take another example, where street lights remain switched on even after the sun has come out because the electricity department forgot to switch it off. As a good citizen, we must call and remind the department to switch off the lights, but if we think, 'why should we bother?' not only is electricity being wasted, but we will have to suffer power cuts later. Hence, whenever small things we do in life, it helps not only society but it also helps us.
We should think of ourselves as fortunate to help people. we should not confine ourselves to our comfortable lifestyles, but rise to the occasion to help others....
