A new drug has been making news to help lose weight.
The cost is too high and for now, it’s beyond the reach of common people.
First, I should clarify that this is not about a health-related write-up. I am neither an authority to speak to nor have any expertise in it.
I am a little obese and talking about losing weight subject feels like an irony.
But, today, talking about ‘losing weight’, I want to talk about the weight or burden everyone carries in their mind.
So, when I first read about that drug, I was concerned about the cost of it and then the side effects. I thought about consulting my doctor for myself and many of my friends.
Then while thinking about it, I suddenly felt, what about the weight I am carrying in my mind, the intangible weight of expectations, the grudges I am holding, the deep, unending feeling of enmity with few, to give up and talk first to my close ones, for last many weeks and many such things.
I was giving it a good try to read about losing weight, checking for the various options, going into detail about its costs and implications, and planning how to manage its costs.
But not even trying to alleviate what I can do easily, without any expenses, and side effects, which makes me feel light and relaxed.
Is it because my being overweight is seen by everyone and the internal burden by none?
All the efforts to make our outlook look better and not to worry about what is going on inside.
‘Forgive and forget’, ‘Let there be peace’, “We are not here for long, so, let it be”, “Peace over everything”, and many more. All these are easy if we try from our hearts and work consistently on it.
But then our egos come in between. Why should I speak first? it was his mistake, If he doesn’t care, I won’t give a damn,…
We keep carrying it with us. A single step, taking us back for the sake of our peace and to keep relations healthy, feels like moving the earth.
We keep dragging on the same and end up finding it easier to shell out money, even if we can’t afford it.
