A Big Heart December 12, 2009

Do you have about 20 minutes to spare? If so, I suggest you watch this movie. If nothing else, this 20 minute movie will atleast induce a faint stir in your soul, and give you a glimpse of the power that lies within you.

At best, the movie will fuel a few moments or more of introspection - making us think of  that which we know is at the back of our minds, but was conveniently shoved away to accomodate more “wordly” pursuits:

Questions about how, in our constant struggle to live and prove our worth to ourselves and the world, we’re gradually losing all traces of humanity in us. Thinking of how and when we started to learn to de-sensitize ourselves and be impervious to sorrow and pain. Trying to remember when we forgot to believe in our power to change lives around us – even in the littlest ways possible – starting with those closest to us.

For me, the following excerpt just summed it all up - 

Dr. Devi Shetty: “I’m doing exactly what I’m supposed to do. But people consider that as generosity, and charity. I’m just doing my duty as any other individual. But unfortunately, overall, society has degraded to such a level that just being a normal human being is considered as Godly.”
