#95 Who Are The Refugees?

We see so many people everywhere around us, all of them are refugees of some kind or the other. You are a refugee, I am a refugee, all of us are refugees. People leaving something or someplace and running away for the purpose of mere survival are refugees. I think this definition can be expanded a bit. 'People leaving something' for the purpose of mere survival!
People forget education, people forget their nation, people forget their friends and neighbours, people forget their own parents in pursuit of materialistic goals.... are refugees. They dont want to return back to their original world, cos they simply cant, cos thev'ye burnt their own boats. These are the people of the new India, those who want to see India shining, but dont want to help India shine.... These are the people who cant stay happy cos they dont know how to be happy....
For want of a nail the shoe was lost.
For want of a shoe the horse was lost.
For want of a horse the rider was lost.
For want of a rider the battle was lost.
For want of a battle the kingdom was lost.
And all for the want of a horseshoe nail.

The more you have, the more you will need, the more you will need, the more you will fall short, and eventually when you leave everything, you wont be taking anything with yourself, so why look for something like that.

Being a refugee in your own country, being a refugee in your own home, being refugee in your own heart is what you will eventually end up with.
