The word" busy" is very common and" I am too busy" is very very much common to us .How is it common to lets come to know .If we keenly observe ourselves otherwise let me start with myself only. If I introspect myself I might find be using is this would every min or sec.But am i really busy???Am I telling the truth? Am I telling this to others or am I fooling myself? Each of us if we observe ourselves we can find the answer. I know in this fast growing world we all are running with my time and at the end of the day also we think why God has given 24 hrs in a day why not 26 hrs a day. But for whom we are running for? just think for a while…..
We are running for ourselves for our near and dear's. But what's the use of running if we can't get time for them or for ourselves .For e.g.:- 1.At the end of the day if we can't get time for having proper sleep then what is the use of earning so much money?. 2. If we can't take care of our children rather we are leaving to grow up with the help of maids then what's the use of making money or remaining busy whole day?.3. if we can't give ourselves a 15min of time per day to relax then what's the use of remaining busy. and earning money?.
As I have felt in these days I found this that busy word has two meanings. One intentionally said that "I am busy" and second one is that they are really busy and are mad for money.
Let me elaborate the first one of intentionally said 'I am busy'. Actually these persons are never busy rather some are very much lazy type person or want to avoid a person they said it.
For e.g.:-Once x person asked y to serve dinner .Ysaid that as I am cutting the vegetables for next day because mom is not in home so that I can prepare your meals in the morning and can let you to college on time. But next time X didn’t say it rather she ordered to Y to serve it as she is too much busy in her work. Then as per X' saying Y rushed to serve dinner in her room. There Y found X sitting in bed busy messaging in her mobile to her friends and ordering Y to hand over the plate to her. This is the some sort of saying busy. I hope now one can understand what type of busy these persons are.
And Second one are those persons who are busy in work .After 8 hrs of job they think how to engage themselves in other work in other work and earn money. But they forget that there is some one waiting for you in home. And these people after sometime suffer from every type of diseases like BP, diabetes, overweight, etc.
And one thing to visualize is when we say we are busy to some one how they feel.Has anyone ever tried to inculcate within themselves?. For e.g.:- When parents say to their children that we can't come to your annual function as we have loads of work in office.Just think how it hurts.
When old parents wait for their son and daughter in laws and grand children to come home in vacation, if they don’t come and send message they won't be coming because they are busy. How the heart hurts to old parents. It's really a feeling that we can't express in words. Just can feel is the tears, the heart break and nothing else.
So lastly to conclude just think before saying I am busy and try to avoid or less use of this sentence. May be it’s a short sentence but it breaks many hearts.
"Never take someone for granted, Hold every person close to your heart because you might wake up one day and realize that you've lost a diamond while you were busy collecting stones…….." JJ
Lovely thoughts......i am sure everyone can connect to this post!!!
ReplyDeleteWe have started wearing the 'I am busy' phrase as a mask to avoid people. While it cannot be avoided when one is caught in a tight situation, it turns into a problem when it becomes a habit.
