Do you know how far the border line of foolishness goes?

There is no limit to foolishness, how a person thinks,
and the only question I have is,
how can any person think like that?
Blessings to you all from the beautiful city of Los Angeles, California, USA.
This is going to be a recap of my thoughts and feelings that I shall be presenting to you today with regards to the current Covid-19 situation in India.
Yesterday night, I watched the news from three different news channels, and what I saw left me in utter dismay and disbelief!
India is the second-largest democracy in the world and the most populous country in the world. I feel ashamed being an Indian today because what I saw in the news is nothing short of feeble-mindedness and silliness. There is absolutely no discipline and etiquette in the country, yet its people praise and talk about Dharma. All I could see is stupid people advertising their ignorance and arrogance in the overcrowded hospitals. I was appalled to see a lack of mannerisms by families in the presence of their family member affected by the virus. Rather than maintaining calm and patience, these family members were vilifying and abusing the doctors left, right, and centre!
Righteousness is the road to life; wickedness is the road to death. With a little bit of common sense, this horrifying situation could have been avoided favourably. It is with grief and much sadness, having to say that, in broad daylight, there is theft of the oxygen cylinders and medicines which have been donated by countries around the world!
How can a hospital even handle a situation, where only five doctors are treating five hundred patients? And on top of that, you have families hurling abuse, and wailing to get attention. The situation is quite apparent, but people's attitudes and behaviour is gross, to say the least. The attempt to jump the queue in haste, which is so unethical when patients are waiting in the queue who have arrived earlier, exposes the sheer selfishness of the masses. This is a deplorable situation, and I hold these ignorant individuals responsible for the escalation of the deadly pandemic wreaking havoc.
The doctors who are short-staffed are doing their job as best as they possibly can under such dire conditions treating patients round the clock. They are required to follow a set of rules and protocols. However, instead of supporting, praising and helping the doctors and the nurses in tandem the families create a ruckus and make fools of themselves! No one has yet even praised the hard work and the hours put in by the doctors and the nurses alike treating patients with Covid. How can you love God, when you cannot understand and love one another? It is impossible!
The Indian public is brazenly blaming the Modi government for the current situation. The seemingly sensible public, however, is hellbent on spreading false rumours, yet these few 'responsible' individuals do not want to wear masks and do not want to get vaccinated... If you wish to continue defiling PM Modi then I suggest that you stop taking all the necessary precautions. Decide today itself, not to wear a mask and not to have a vaccination. When are you going to smarten up?
In Uttar Pradesh (UP India), I came across a 25-year-old Muslim woman having 5 children, and her older sister had 7 children, with no food in the house. I called the family and asked how are the kids? The 25-year-old said that 3 of her children have died. I asked how did this happen? She said they died of hunger. I asked the 27-year-old if she will have more children, she said that if Allah wills it then so be it. I told her, that you have no food, so how will you manage? She said it is in the hands of Allah to feed us. I then found out that her mother is also pregnant. Her mother was only 15 years of age when she had her first child, and the mother is pregnant again after 25 years. Both the parents should be ashamed of themselves.
In Ludhiana, Punjab, I met an old Muslim gentleman on the wayside, and he appeared to be troubled. It was the Holy month of Ramzan. It seemed that he had not eaten for at least 4-5 days. He was in a desperate situation. I asked him to get on the rickshaw and both Ravi and I took him back to his residence. His wife was also observing the fast, and there was no food in the house! The gentleman's daughter was very good, and she was about to get married. The old man's children were dying of hunger. His age was around 70 years, and this elderly scoundrel had married an 18-year-old girl who had 2 children. I could not believe this, "Has Allah not given you a mind to think?" I exclaimed!
The girl who was pregnant was suffering acutely from kidney stones, and both her children were suffering from jaundice. PM Modi's two-child policy in overpopulated India is the perfect solution to overcome this nightmare. What is wrong with this policy? All I wish to say is that I have never come across such infantile stupidity in my entire life!
It is our cancerous thoughts, that are ruining our lives and not only that, but such vile thinking spreads like a wildfire affecting and ultimately destroying the very fabric of our society. I wanted to help this family, but I decided not to and stepped back. Just because PM Modi suggested 2 child policy per family, he is considered a cruel unjust person targeting a particular community since he happens to be a Hindu.
Anyway, coming back to the point of discussion, it is my belief that we have to be patient, calm, understanding and learn to face the situation head-on. If we do not die today we will die tomorrow anyway, but it does mean that we break the rules of conduct.
If I was present in the three hospitals I would have definitely slapped each and every one of the individuals causing a fuss. Anyway, with my concluding words, I request every one of you to remain happy and calm. Try and seek refuge under a tree in the open where you can breathe deeply, and above all, I ask you to be cheerful regardless of the dire situation.
Please listen to me and take heed of my words, I request you with hands folded not to lose faith in God. Stay safe, and be happy, and have faith in the Almighty. We must work together and help each other because I need you, and if you can follow this through, we can bid the world farewell happily together by fulfilling all our goals!
