""If each man or woman could understand that every other human life is as full of sorrows, or joys, or base temptations, of heartaches and of remorse as his own . . . how much kinder, how much gentler he would be""

I woke up this evening, got ready for my office. I was so happy that I don’t have to do any work at my office as these are the honeymoon days for us. At around 8:30 the cab was at my place I was enjoying in the cab like any thing .I reached office, after reporting to our manager we went out chilling in the lawns outside the company, enjoying at the utmost level. I was also very happy because the next day I had to leave for my hometown. When we were sitting in the lawn I was wondering how beautiful this world is..!!At 6:30 my shift ended . I went back home. As soon as I reached my place I packed my bag and rushed to board the air conditioned bus. I was very happy that I am getting money for doing nothing.

On the way, I was crossing all those beautiful green fields of Punjab and those over flooded rivers. I was feeling so proud that I am born in a state which is so in high spirits and prospering. State, which is the biggest producer of wheat in the country. State, which has never came across any floods or draughts. State, where people are so blissful. During this journey I was living my life, thinking of all the good times I saw in life.

But as soon as I reached my home town, Ludhiana, my mind got shacked, my whole portrait of my imagination about my state were shattered within seconds. I saw an old man who was wearing dirty rags and was asking for water from one shop to another. There were small children who were forced to beg on the streets. There were poor old ladies who were selling some small things to the car owners who were standing on the traffic lights just to earn their livelihood. My mind reverts back to all those pictures of my workplace where people were enjoying, the flourishing green fields, the lively water bodies. But then I thought life is not as simple as it looks or as we think. There are people who are still far away from the glee, who need our help to get risen to a platform where they could avail all the good things in their life.

Death Freely Chosen...............

Laugh, the world will laugh with you
Weep and you weep alone
For the poor sad earth, which must borrow its mirth?
Has enough of sorrows of its own….

Euthanasia etymologically mean good death and why not everyone on this earth has right to go with dignity after all it is the sufferer who has to suffer alone so it’s better for terminally ill person to get out of this hell rather than waiting for almighty decision. Somebody has very rightly said “God help those who help themselves”. And if the technology is offering us an alternative by providing the palliative methods then, it’s better for the person who is suffering it aguishly to avail it.

“Cursing the darkness is not the right way to go my dear, always search for the candle”
Even very highly developed nations like Belgium Dutch and Netherlands who have legalized euthanasia must have given deep thinking and deep thought to it. Then why not India, biggest democracy of the world where everyone has right to live the way they want and I definitely believe that they should have the right to die the way they want. But there should be proper system to legalize euthanasia. I am not in favor of active euthanasia where person who is suffering from mental trauma and maddening agony and youngsters who want to step down from the responsibilities of their old parents would obviously opt for it. I am in favor of passive euthanasia where terminally ill person should be given euthanasia.

And who legitimate euthanasia and thinks that it is against the moral ethically values of humanities, please think practically,this is the era in which life is moving so fast where nobody has time to look back do you think you can provide sufficient attention to person who is lying on bed. If yes then nothing is beyond it but if no that what the answer is.

So only panacea I see here is this is a high time lets raise our voice get unite and let’s work for it. Let’s urge our government to legalize euthanasia so that that anybody in future should not scrawl for death.
