Thought: On the charade of celebrating Days.........

Has social media made people insensitive? I think so....not little bit, but overwhelmingly selfish and callous...after all, what can  be expected from selfie-crazy Age...
It was mother's day few days back....
Unfailingly all the pages wished mothers...........that's great...mothers are living epitomes of God...they deserve to be hailed, not in a particular day, but everyday.......
but, the vocal show seemed meaningless....
Imagine the feelings of a person, who has lost his/her mother.......getting reminded every now and then is like rubbing acid on a scar..
Same goes for other modern day celebrations........
Valentine's..........the funny fest of rose, balloons and toys.........
How does a person just undergone break-up feel on that day?
Same for numerous other consumer-enticing festivals...


Why nobody shows that enthusiasm or Earth day, wildlife day, forest day, clean water day, sustainability day...
Because they negate consumerism, greed, exploitation etc...which does not go well with the interest of capitalists...
Time to wake up.........and to understand and respect the kernel...not the shell...
