Are we Socially Available?

Pondering over my life, gave me a thought that are we "Socially Available" for the needs of our loved ones.

I pity those people who cannot stand for the people at their hard times. I am always dumbstruck to realize how blood ties have become - weak and manipulative under the pressure of money and worldly situation. The people are aware of the dynamics yet, the relations have become distant. I thought to myself are we compassionate and cordial to the people around us.

The problem arises due to the communication barrier. How well do we know our neighbor in our backyard? I am not asking you to be nosy but to be helpful. You need to be a person on whom people can count. Be a person who can impact someone's life. To bridge the gap you can initiate talks on common topics with anyone. Else, life becomes tedious and repetitive. True contentment only comes by bringing a smile to someone's face.

More than financial help, mental help is important. Listen to the needy people around you - your relatives, friends, or the wider population. Reflecting on our self should be the first key to make the world a better place to live in. Question to yourself that am I really "Socially Available" to people around me?
