Should we always look for credit for what we do? Many elements in nature like rising sun, blooming flower, a growing tree do not bother for recognition, they perform their job irrespective of who is noticing and who is praising them. They commit themselves to what they are meant to do. We, the humans, are more complex beings; we like to perform when someone praises us, when someone rewards us...why can't we simply perform our duty just as nature does?
We know that this credit, this struggle for power, this endless pursuit of wealth is all meaningless since we know the climax - death. Then why are we made this way - pursuing in something that will not mean anything to us at the end of life. So, is there meaning in giving or craving? We look so stupid - having the knowledge to understand the meaninglessness and at the same time, running after the same!
- Can I do something because I am good at doing it - irrespective of others noticing it or not?
- Can I earn more so that I can give more?
- Can I perform something even if others take the credit -with the satisfaction that what needed to be done has been done?
