The word "contagious" has been
coming to mind often. A smile is obviously contagious. But then, a viral is
also contagious. Is contagiousness an automatic response? Someone smiles at you
and you automatically smile back.
But sadly, generosity is not. Charity is
not. Kindness and compassion are not. Love , the divine energy, is always in
short supply.
I would like to say that hatred and envy
are not. But when I see the cut throats society today, I can't help feeling
that somewhere, some lethal virals like merciless pursuits of power and money
became contagious and brought the ethical and moral values down, thus bringing
society down. When we started living for ourselves, we forgot to be connected
and so, did not respond to external stimuli. And without that, where is the
question of anything being contagious ? We don't possess the band width for it.
