A human being has different good characteristics that make him outstanding from other creatures in this world. The good characteristics are conscience, feeling, understanding others, humanity, love and care, simplicity etc. The best part of a human is that he/she can understand everything. That is why god has created a human being as the super being than others. We know this life is very fragile, very much uncertain. Within a moment everything can be devastated. We do not know what will happen in the next moment. Knowing all this fact still many people show their false vanity. False vanity is very short lasting. But why do people feel vanity is a key quality to establish them as special from others? Do you like vanity to overshadow your self image? Let’s discuss with logic points.
We have read from ancient scripts that nobody has sustained their vanity forever. We have known that great Greek warrior Alexander the great before dying told to his people that after his death, one of his hands to be kept outside the coffin so that people would know that although had earned a lot of wealth, at the end he had not taken anything from this earth. He had invaded most of the world. Earned a lot of wealth but died at the age of 32. It is one incident. There are many incidents where it has been proved that vanity is not a positive attitude. Then the question arises why do people show vanity?
I am narrating one recent incident. As now-a-days whole world is affected with the clutches of dangerous Corona Virus Pandemic scenario, the govt. has issued some basic Covid guidelines to follow by all so that we can take prevention from Corona disease. Therefore the marriage and death ceremony have also restricted with fixed amount of people and certain rules and regulations. We have come across to know about various sad corona death incidents that shatters our heart and mind. But in one town, a rich person took the permission from govt. to perform his son’s marriage according to covid guidelines. But in contrast to that as they have wealth and rich in status, they forgotten all guidelines. Nobody wore the masks or maintained the social distance which is the part of covid guidelines. They were full in festive mode and dancing overjoyed. The groom was also dancing as if he was a movie celebrity. Somebody has recorded the video and at last the district administration took the groom, his father, uncle and others to prison as they did not obey the rules and regulation of covid.
The main purpose of this incident is to apprise all how much vanity that family has. As they are rich and they have not suffered any pain in corona pandemic that is why they made their marriage procession a showbiz affair! In the same district a tragic death case has occurred one day before. An aged couple hanged themselves because their only son succumbed in corona disease. He was only 27 and unmarried and above all he was a covid warrior. He was a teacher and his school was made as a govt. quarantine centre for covid people. He was affected in corona while doing his duties in that school. His parents did not bear the pain of death of their only son and end their life. Who ever has listen this incident, his heart has filled with pain. Yes, it is individual’s life. Who knows the same incident will not happen in our family! The point is when people are suffering in mere pain and tragic incidents should we make merry making! Yes, if one wants to get married, let him do so but it should be simple. All should feel the pain of suffered people. There have been many cases where due to this festive party incidents, many people got affected in corona disease as a large gathering helps to disease to spread quickly. Who knows! As there are more than 100 people in the procession and nobody had wore mask or maintained social distance, corona disease can be spread among a lot of people due to their silly mistake. They should realize the blunder mistake they did.
So why do you show your vanity! If you have money, if you are very rich, keep that with yourself but as a social person first understand the situation in the society. Everybody should feel the plight of people who are suffering. Throw away your vanity and listen to your conscience. Show up your humanity by understanding others’ sorrow so that you will justify your human birth.
