You are the rest of mankind

One pleasant evening he and his friend went to a lake park, to sit down and share thoughts and have nice time. After sitting for a while and watching birds, the sheet of water in the lake and people walking, laughting, talking a nice conversation has started between him and his friend.

H - He HF - His Friend

H : Today morning I read the news paper and it is painful to see what is happening in the world.
HF: Why? What happened?
H : All the corrupted politicians, cunning corporate businesses, former suicides paper is full of sad news.
HF: So you say they are all responsible for the sorrow in the world not you?
H : How can I be responsible, I am no way related to all that.
HF: I may be right or wrong, but please listen to me patiently; I feel you
and me are also responsible if there is disorder in our life.
H : What do you mean by disorder?
HF: It's simple, if I have worries in life, fear in life, trying to repeat
yesterday's pleasure, if I am following, obeying other human being
then my life is in disorder.
H : How can you say that, worries and fears are common in life.
HF: I don't think so; our minds are conditioned in such a way. We never
put a question to ourselves can I live without them, even if someone
put that question there is lack of seriousness. We are all caught in a
race to become somebody, somebody whose photo will come in the news
paper, somebody when he walks everybody will say there he is, somebody
who has power and position. This desire to become somebody is there in
ancient kings to present modern man. A life with full of joy and
happiness has been oppressed by this desire to become somebody.
H : But without becoming what is life? It has no meaning.
HF: The politician that you read about is also a human being like you and
me. He is also living with fear about his opposition, he is acquiring
money, land because they give him certain feeling of being secured,
and they give him feeling of being somebody.
H : So do you say what he is doing is correct?
HF: No, What I am saying is we are equivalent to that politician. The
factors like fear, confusion, and desire to be secure are driving his
life and our lives too.
H : So what is your solution to this problem?
HF: No, the question is, do you have clarity about the problem? or you are
only interested in the solution and don't have the patience to look at
the problem. If I don't like the part of understanding the problem,
I create more problems out of a single problem.
