Yesterday , while I was returning back home from work ; I got stuck in the traffic. I was patiently waiting at the signal for the chaos to settle and get the way cleared. As I headed further , I came across a chain of  wide spread slum side urbanized huts particularly that stay along at the arches of the road, whose who have occupancies about too local.There were actually migrants selling cutlery items having their stalls besides the streets. They had brought along with them their entire family, wifes kids , etc. Their kids are routinely acquainted with the passengers and vehicles. As I was  coming off close to them, i saw this one kid who was running away from the little strike of a bike. He ran diverting away from it in the direction of his home. Maybe he was taught that way , to run away from the crowd, unknown people, vehicles to his safe place i.e towards his parents and house. Maybe all parents do that , regardless of them staying on the streets or luxury mansions.
Do you remember a baby giggling away with its little feet trying hard to walk to reach their parents when we try scratching the toys they are playing with.
We as children are taught to run away from anything that is threatening us, or our comfort for that matter. This goes along with our childhood  because we are too young to actually face the undone of this world.
But we continue running away from anything that troubles our safe composure even when we grow up. Maybe we develop a habit of running away, or giving it a back , ignoring the root cause instead of tackling it for once and ending it together.
Why to run when we can fight back??
Why to always run towards our comfort zones, why not face the abrupts ??
Why not find the cause to trouble and end its endurance for a lifetime, so that it doesn't return back to threaten your happiness and free safety.
Why not stand in the  direction of our problem....and give it a face back??
Why to teach our children to run away when we can teach them to fight back....?
Why to be their safe place when they themselves can be their own safe place??

We need to address our problem on our own so that we can overcome it because only we are responsible for whatever happens to us. Our closed ones or people around us can help us , suggest us how to tackle; but at the divergence of the end only we have to bring ourselves out of the turbulence.

Let's not teach each other to run away from people,places, problems or emotions that try to haunt our comfort zones.Rather help each other to build strong foundations so that we  ourselves are enough to tackle anything and everything in this world !!

Let's teach our kids to not run away from the obstacles.

" Let's step out of our safe, comfort places and peoples"

Just an ignited thought of transformation.
