i also feel sad about this but what can be done to rid ourselves of this emptiness or hollowness??
One thing which i occasionally do is appreciate these “little things”…
i say little bcoz nowadays nobody cares for how much a person did for providing u with an object….
Whenever i get food at restaurant or i have been driven by rickshaw to somewhere, i pass a SMILE or say THANKS…
it doesn’t cost me much but it is invaluable to person for whom it is meant to be :) :)
Try this method n u will suddenly find a happy world :)

The fact is, its not just the food - its also a ride in a rickshaw (do we give a thought to the existence of the rickshaw puller?) or a cook in a canteen - just look at life from their point of view - doing what others want them to do - everyday. Don't know, but I cannot imagine myself in a situation like this.<br/><br/>Maybe I'll be a huge failure at a regular job :) Maybe, I agree with you to a certain extent.

The guilt of not appreciating the process of making food rather seems to be the fact now you realize the efforts that your mother made while cooking and which were not appreciated as much as they should have been by you. I had a similar feeling once and came to this conclusion, cant really say if you feel the same. <br/><br/>On second thought it can even be the effect of a very object oriented kind of a world that we live in, we hardly get to see anything beyond what we asked for and so cannot really "connect" emotionally with the endresult.<br/><br/>Money and consumerism, hahaha, they hardly seem the reason to me!

But all of you, you only say what we could do, or the ideal case. More often than not, we DON'T appreciate the skill in our hearts. That is all I have been trying to say. I'm not using the blog as a way to get around my guilt feeling, but to make us realise that we are becoming less and less considerate for others' work. I hope it has some effect. This argument may go on forever, but You must agree that I have a point, and that point is what I want to express. you have a point. But all of you, you only say what we could do, or the ideal case.
