Hunger - A Basic Need Creating Unity !
16/12/2018
It’s now Winter- the hibiscus is no longer in bloom.The red slowly faded,petals falling off each day.I still look out the window,however,longing for it to be spring again.
No wonder that Winter seems to be one of the favourite seasons among the majority people around us, as it gives the best quality of sleep which remains as an all time need to everyone.
Similiarly,I woke up in this fresh morning, took my refreshments and went for a morning walk to feel the cold breeze.As a part of my daily activity and being an nature lover I always take a packet of “Ghaantiya-a Popular Gujarati Snack”and a bowl of water to feed the birds.This is a regular part of my daily routine before I start my day,but today I noticed a scene which was really uncommon.
After leaving the food for the birds I went back to my home and I started looking to the birds from my window. Daily the birds like pigeon and sparrows used to come and have their meals, but today they were not alone.
I suddenly saw they were accompanied by Crows ,Eagles along with two cranes(which were very uncommon).
Also the little squirrels gathered there to have the snacks.
I was really astonished by this scene as we have a common experience that eagles are considered to be in a superior category of birds which feeds on fishes,small species and insects in the nature around.Also crows being Omnivores,feed on the insects similiarly. But today,no one was interested in suppressing each other rather they were having their own meals and it was concluded that the reason behind their unity is nothing but Hunger.This scene made me to think more.
Similiarly, if we compare the humans today, we are going through the same scenarios .If someone interrogates in this world that –“Which are the basic needs to form a unity among us?” ,”Is it the social media including Whatsapp ,Facebook and Instagram etc or the emotional attachments we have among each other?”
The answer to the question would be very simple,and my answer would be “Hunger”
Hunger is considered to be a basic need of people on which they survive.Nothing works as good as hunger to unite people,If a person is hungry he will definitely look for the food to survive and he can’t get food unless he unites in the world where nothing is free today.He has to somewhere adjust himself according to the world to get his needs fulfilled.
So by this experience we can conclude that if we want to make the world a better place to live in,it is necessary for all of us to bring up the Unity, so that all of us around can live a better life by satisfying their own as well as the needs of others.
