As i get older

and look back at my life i realise there are so many things taken for granted. There are so many people who struggle to make ends meet to live their dignified middle class existence. So many fathers who work overtime and work weekends to save money to get their daughters married and mothers who never buy anything for themselves to save every penny they have.
As i get older i get angry when i keep seeing that poor people are ill treated because they have no money...when men as old as our fathers are made to wait on the side with their arms folded because they do not move in your social circles...women as old as our mothers go home to home cooking and making bakshanams in various people's homes and sometimes not even offered hot coffee to drink or given a break from the gruelling work.
Why are we so cruel hearted towards innocent kids...getting angry at them when they follow you with greedy eyes when you walk out of a sweet shop holding a huge packet of goodies...why! don't those children have desires? Why is it fully acceptable for your maid to bring in her little daughter with her to work and wash utensils and you think the maid is being practical but it is okay when you stress out and hyperventilate when your teenage son goes to the nearby kirana shop to get a soap bar and you worry that he is only a kid...As i get older i keep wondering why are we so hypocritical....
