Your problems and your sensitivity- Comfort made you completely complacent

3 years back in Germany at this time, I was spending most of my time with Syrian Refugees because of my German Classes. I couldn’t forget their heart-wrenching stories which were many.

One such was – ” There was a bomb blast suddenly in the locality of Damascus and the family began to run towards Border. The sister got killed in the second bomb blast… Mother was separated from the family by Army.. the son escaped to Germany amidst the distorted situation… and Father’s status is unknown. ”

The son who was telling me this was telling it as an incident but had no tears in his eyes or tremble in his voice. He just said in the end..’I doubt if I ever see my mother alive again’ (Libyan Government is not as prosperous as that of German to accommodate refugees)

I could never forget that moment in my life which changed my perspective towards #problems. My mind subconsciously compares my struggles to that and I automatically feel energetic to overpower the meagre situations in the front.

Whenever I see people worrying over petty problems in our society…spending hours, days, and years in depression… I feel we have not had exposure to life yet as our children are brought up in incubators of comfort and safety.

I sometimes get that in dreams and feel a compulsion to change the world around me… make it strong, robust, and invincible… Remember… real strength is determined when you are dragged out of your life and thrown forcefully into a vicious circle of despair
