A New Inclination

Day by day, I see myself getting inclined to this. It's a strange feeling. A new of it's kind. This hasn't happened to me before? But this is not the question. The real question is, why now? All of a sudden? Does this happen to everyone, or is it only me?
It's not that I want to; but it's happening!!! Why? Seriously, I do not know. I'm clueless. It's like, I'm being dragged to this completly new path. And the irony is, no third person is forcing me to do so. It's me, self. Sometimes I think, It's the destiny who's calling me. But this is not what I wanted!!!
All I wanted, is a normal life. And with this new progress in my life, I think my life is not going to be normal. It's gonna change completly. A complete 360 degree turn.
But is it worth? I believe, Yes!!! It's not that I'm gonna change, or my aura. The only thing that's changing is my thinking, beliefs, lifestyle. And this change is exclusively for me.
Few days back I started reading this essay, "Why I'm an Atheist" by martyr Bhagat Singh (I haven't completed it though). It's a miracle in it's own. It's not that I'm not gonna believe in the supreme being, from now on. The thing that struck me is that, a person, so young, so pure, sacrificed his life, for our mother nation - INDIA. He believed, once free, it's people will be free too. Free to think, act, converse, live, earn, eat. But are we? Are we doing all those things what he wanted? Are we, in literal sense, liberated? NO, we are not. Day by day, we are getting entangled in our own. We are busy beautifying our own life. Not keepipng in mind there are people who do not see their teens. Those who do, they end up being so called POOR. It's not only people around us who become POOR, but it's our own Mother Nation too. Today we say India is shining. But the question here is, who in India is shining. Rich are becoming richer, poor are becoming poorer. And all this at the cost of sacrificing our environment. We are making our environment sick, by cutting trees. It's not that we aren't creating jungle. We are creating concrete jungle. Not tree jungles, but concrete jungles!!! It's not that we have started doing this now. We have been doing this since the birth of mankind. The pattern of our growth is very similar to one more livng organism on this earth. VIRUS. We first grow in an area. We grow ourselves so much, untill every single resource in that area is consumed. Once done, we spread into another area, and the chain continues. This way, we do not show any difference between us and the viruses. What should we do which discriminates us from them. Plant!! Plant more and more trees. It's high time that we do this. If it's not now, then it never will be.
