The 3 basic needs of man-food, clothes & shelter.
Today I'll be
talking about the 3rd need -shelter( walls to be precise).
walls are not
just physical structures that surround us, they are much more than that. Let's
have a closer & deep look at them.
Importance-
- walls protect
us, let us have some private space.
-Walls are symbol
of security. It does not let outside influences to disturb us.
- Be it any
season-summer, winter, autumn or spring walls are there for us.
-walls
are great supporters too. It supports roof ,without which it would have
been very difficult to dodge the rains and strong sunshine!
-walls have been
of great importance since ages. old kingdoms building huge walls around their
fort for defense against enemies.
-some great old
memories- sketching on the walls when we were young and decorating the walls
with the poster of our favorite rock star (Hannah Montana or Michael Jackson )
or an inspiring person in our teens.
-Standing tall
even today the GREAT WALL of china is a perfect example of grandeur of the human architecture.
-a nicely built wall with a strong foundation
can stand even the worse of worst calamities and disasters.
Psychology
behind it-
but walls are
always not pretty and comforting. they are often a sign of restriction,
oppression and imprisonment.
Ask Ms. Aung San Suu Kyi & others who
have spent a very long time on house arrest.
The most
terrifying situation I can imagine myself
in - confined In 4 walls of a room forever with no communication. As
good as dead.
Walls are a
symbol of divide too. Walls create
separations and divisions. Walls have become a border separating one house
from another, one state from another & one country from another.
with the outside
walls we should take care of our inside invisible walls too.
The walls which
are present in our minds of differences. These invisible walls often makes us
forget that we all are equal. we should build our inside walls strong enough to
protect us from negativity, evils and fears.
Thought
to ponder-
Just imagine what
if one day all the people decide to break every wall on earth(almost every wall) . What will be the scenario?
Horrifying,huh??!!
Sure there would
be a feeling of horror as there would always be a fear of someone watching us
and our secrets will be out. our private life would be totally disrupted. An
unimaginable difficult event in an age where people are completely busy in
their own life and care little of outside
world.
But if looked from a positive perspective this
event would certainly bring a unique
sense of freedom and equality!
That's all about
the walls from my side!
