Must read on ‘The Self Publicist’

-Sukanya Singh

We live in a society. It is full of different people, different culture, attitude, language and a vast diversified ways of living. There we notice, some people wear a mask of a different kind of pride for their family resources and keeps on flaunting them before the members of the society. To dwell in a society smoothly, a person must think about others also. They should try to think about their likes and dislikes too, for example –If your neighbour is preparing for exams, you should not play loud music because it might disturb them. Again people should at least try to speak in a polite way and not sprinkle their negative behaviour everywhere they go. Everyone is equal. No one has the right to taunt or criticise one by considering the family backgrounds, wealth and so on.

There are some people of the population who play a very negative role in the society. Such people destroy the peace and harmony of others as well as the place itself, where they dwell in. These people are so selfish that they do not see anything out of their world. They are the ones who praise them self to the moon and back for their wealth such as – bank balance, expensive cars, watches, bungalows, farm houses, imported luxury goods and the list grows long. Earning a standard amount of wealth, here, is not the issue. Disseminating the dominant and negative egoistic attitude on the basis of ‘those’ is the problem.

In a society, people are working and earning by one way or the other to survive. There are surely the high and low graphs of income factor among them. But this does not mean that they deserve a status according to that. It is observed that certain people grab the opportunities to perform something illegal or break the societal rules taking advantage of the family name and fame. Again, there are some people who take the honour of inviting guests. But also take the opportunity to criticise their targeted audience for various aspects. I would like to share one of my personal experiences here. Once I got an invitation to my friend’s place. We were in five, gone there and were enjoying the snacks. One of my friends praised the imported wine and suddenly our invitee popped up and taunted him, “Have it! Have it! I guess you have never tasted it and would never be able to. Anyway it is beyond your capabilities.” I was literally shocked. How could anyone say like that?

One more story I would like to share along with this one. One day two of my friends were fighting for a silly reason. One of them was from a rich background. The fight went up to the level where all of a sudden he shouted and threatened my other friend by, “Do not act smart. You are no one in front of me. My dad has enough to buy you.” This was literally a day I will never forget. Do you know what happened next? They broke their friendship. A mere 'amount' is so great that it can break a pure relationship like 'friendship'. To your surprise they were childhood friends. There are many such stories which go unheard most of the time but this should not be encouraged. People should know how to talk to others. They should not talk nonsense or speak insane. Everyone has a value and they deserve to be valued.

Do not take these toxic people to your account. They are actually the ‘actual losers’. They do not have anything of their own to reflect. That is why they take the help of their so called ‘Dad’s money’ or other family resources and show off like anything for gaining societal attention and nothing else. Always remember –

Empty vessels make the most noise!
