940. Mother, I Am Ashamed And Embarrassed! 280308 Comments

You are so sensitive even to trivial incidents in your life, that your mind gets upset over such small things, which occur every day everywhere.Charity begins at home and it should not end there. Certain amount of selfishness is necessary to survive in this world, particularly for a married couple with children. Otherwise, one gets lost in wilderness. As you grow old, you may understand this better, by your own experience.

It is the irony of social set up in which we all live. The answer for this lies in my poem 'A Song of the world' which I wrote sometime in the year 1965. The ills of our society cannot be set right overnight. We have to live in pairs of opposites, like good-bad, weak-strong, haves-havenots, selfish-broad minded, and so on. It is a kind of co-existence, in which mutual understanding and tolerance only can help to solve the day to day problems arising out of these differences. Hope you will agree with me, Savithiri.
