Getting affected, or infected?
When I get suggestions like,
"Don't get affected",
"Don't let it shadow you", and
"Don't change accordingly"...
I look around, and find things changing constantly,
I see the dark clouds affecting the bright, sunny day,
I see the dirty water of the sewage contaminate the pious waters of the oceans,
I see Nature fighting, yet giving up to the atrocities of mankind,
Aren't we made that way?
We are given hearts- fragile
We are given minds- prone to breakdown...
Then, how can we not get affected?
The toxins in our lives, tend to poison our happiness,
ruin our peace of mind, by infecting us
with the same activities as theirs...
Then, how can we not get infected
and lose our original selves?
