Why are we rude?

All humans are equal. How many times we have heard it. But how much of it do we really believe. Do we treat our boss the same as we treat our driver, do we treat the rickshaw puller the same way we treat any of our siblings. Of course, the professional and personal requirements of each of the different relationships make us treat them differently, but excepting that, one fact remains that they are all human beings and God created all human beings alike. So why, how, and when do we start misbehaving with other people. So, if a person does not appear as the so-called level of beauty, or is not born to rich and famous parents, is not earning that well, cannot afford to have great looking clothes, a flashy car or a house, is a subordinate or junior, is soft and simple, does it make him/her a candidate for our disrespectful and rude behavior.

Some people justify their rudeness. Some of them have lost their love, or have lost a job, or have lost some health. There could be anything, for which they feel frustrated. But one should always remember, what did we bring into this world. We came empty-handed. In fact, we came crying. By keeping on crying forever and spreading rudeness all around us, we commit a sin. We should be thankful that we have our own space, our own share of the sky above and the earth below. We have the privilege to breathe in the air. Most have us are born healthy with all our organs working. Then why and to whom do we complain. We should try to spread as much happiness and positivity around as possible. There are moments when things don’t happen our way. But, if we have tried enough, we should not feel sad. God’s delays are not God’s denials. We have got so much and we don’t feel thankful for all that rather feel bad for something which we don’t have.

Rude behaviour is highly contagious. 

The boss had a tiff with her husband in the morning, who passed some rude remarks to her. On reaching the office she finds a slight mistake in the report submitted by the project manager and lashes out on him. The project manager passes on this rudeness to his subordinate who on reaching home, passes it on to his wife. 

This is such a common happening. Someone, somewhere has to break this chain. In these busy times, we may not be able to do much for others. The least we can do, is to be soft-spoken and not hurtful and rude.
