COUNT

“I know how to count

I will count”, he volunteered.

“One, two, three, four, five…”

          “Stop, what are you counting?”

“I am counting,

How many times

My father bought sweets for me?”

          “Did you finish counting?”

“No, not yet I am still counting.

One, two, three, four, five.”

          “Oh yes, five, … then

           only five times?.”

“Only that much in this week, child replied.”

Does it seem absurd to you? Well, I am not speaking anything of any existential philosophers. We, simple human beings are so much fond of doing good things. But is that all? Then, we start counting the good things done by me, my family, my friend, my country and we keep a history of it.  ... But never succeeding to count what others have done.

 It is interesting to note that many people are particular in counting things that we have done in the presence of others. Is that nice? If something is done for the sake of adding up numbers, it is a waste of time for everyone. Do good but not for adding up numbers. Do good for itself. I believe that’s the reason Mother Theresa is considered as the best giver. However, the fact that she did not keep history of it she is misinterpreted today. 

Do not remember your own good acts.

Counting is a waste of time.
