Relationship Status
Relationship Status: Committed
Sanika Godse, 18
In my times, one of the most frequently asked questions is the relationship status of any new acquaintance. Mine? I’m committed.
I have a pyramidal structure in my mind encompassing my idea of commitment. The base denotes the maximum level of physical, intellectual participative commitment, while the apex tapers towards more sublime, emotional and spiritual level of commitment.
At the foundation of the pyramid lies the very reason of our existence- The Earth, and the entity which sustains life on Earth- Nature.
First and foremost, we all are obliged to be committed to our planet, and it has to be a fully participative commitment because without it, life, as we know it would cease to exist.
This section of the pyramid demands my commitment to protect, preserve and propagate all the goodness of our environment. It is our duty to practice and profess being eco friendly as the religion of the 21st century.
Next is the strata of my country. My nation and everything it includes confers upon me the identity I require as a social animal. The constitution is my Bible, and the Fundamental Duties, which I personally feel should be made mandatory, describe my due commitment towards the nation.
Here, I would like to point out that our constitution is not restricted to our country alone; it represents a welfare state and wholly encourages global participation for world peace and prosperity.
Higher up comes the societal level of commitment. My heritage and culture teaches me the values beautifully composed in the following phrases- ‘Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam’ and ‘He vishwachi maze ghar’ meaning the entire world is my home, and implies a sense of fraternity amongst all human beings. So be it rallying for a cause or donating blood, my commitment towards society has to be physical as well as intellectual, because I am grateful towards the social structure that provides me with the niche to live my life.
