Rubik's cube - a reality check

I have been solving Rubik’s cube from a few months now. Usually while solving it, I take it to be just a colourful cube but today was different ……………….

I have two cubes, one a little old and cheap one; and the other a bit new and expensive. The first cube started creaking after some weeks; it was really smooth at the beginning but slowly it turned rough and started making funny noises. My first cube was the cheaper one but I was really happy to have it. The other cube is still in the same condition till now. It is as smooth as cream and makes no noise or disturbance. Gradually I started having more interest in solving the expensive one. Now it took over the place of my first cube. And now I rarely wish to solve the old one. I keep my new cube in a special drawer whereas the other one lies wherever it finds a place. 

Today these cubes taught me the reality of life!

In reality, the common people want to express their voice, thoughts and feelings, but what is heard by the people in power is a creaking sound. The commoners face all problems, have encountered several difficulties and hence, they are considered rough and tough. It is felt that they can handle all situations, and some mighty people think that so what if these commoners do not have a house to stay, they’ll manage.

On the other hand, there is a wealthy and smoother clan that has not faced the innumerable difficulties. They get all due respect, are given grand houses to live in and are considered soft. So, these people gradually cover the space – physical, social or media - of the commoners, just like my new cube gradually dislodged the older one.

Today I just realised this and decided to bring a change in my mindset. I kept both my cubes in the same drawer, hoping that at some time, they will learn to share. I did this believing in what our Father of the Nation said once,      

 “Be the change you want to see in the world”
