Only when it happens to you....

 

Only when it happens to you will you feel the real pain. Until then, it will be, "Poor souls, they are suffering so much, they are so unlucky! No, it won't happen to us!"

The above conception and perception have been every human being's instinctual  thought since time immemorial. So, when the cursed wars are going on in other corners  of the world, with the humanity suffering the torturous  consequences, we go on, here, in our own  corner  of the world, with our routine way of life; going to the movies, going to the stadiums to cheer our favourite teams, having parties, going to our favourite restaurants, gobbling up our favourite  foods and drinks, having  karaoke sessions; watching the tv dramas and comedies - all the routines, because, "No, it won't happen to us! Those poor souls, they are so unlucky!"

 Yes, only when it happens to us will we feel the real pain, the agony, the physical and mental tortures, the heartaches, the untold anguish! 

Strange creations  we are. Are we not? 

" Waiter, my usual, please!"
