[My View - 002] A Drunkard’s Moral Failure: A Social Perspective

A water droplet on a heap of sand in a desert—that is the significance of a drunkard. Bitter weeds sprout out from a drunkard’s heart, while sweet blossoms sprout from ours. Drunkards are like wilting flowers. There is no way they can return to their beautiful postures unless they are watered and faced toward the sun, and the potion that heals the flower’s crookedness is a drop of love.

When happiness and delight spark through the drunkard’s heart, his peers, neighbours, and colleagues are profoundly impacted. Oblivion towards others can be quite concerning. In this case, the drunkard is oblivious to and unaware of his peers’ reactions. Ignorant of his surroundings, he cannot perceive the misery that is penetrating his peers’ hearts. Misery is intangible and abstract. It does not always unfold from someone in the form of tears.

As the drunkard’s morale fails, members of his local community are profoundly impacted. While most physical diseases or issues have a cure, depression has only one cure, and that is none other than love. Love can be shown between any group of people. Day by day, people are forgetting the beauty of love and the abstract art behind it. However, love is like a medicine. Although love is the glue that connects people, it is also the blade that can separate them.

People like drunkards teach us lessons of how not to treat others. They also make people more aware of their peers. This is our chance. Let us change our world. Small acts of kindness can result in big changes in our world. If we do not change now, we will never change forever. Let kindness and compassion unfold from our hearts. Let our minds and souls glow with a sense of positivity. Let the world change from an arid desert to a tropical island.

As the Earth revolves, we are changing and making every country glow. With our magical kindness potions, let us change the drunkards. It is our world, our people, and our responsibility to change them. This Christmas, we are lighting candles in every country around the world. As kindness ignites through the candles, we are changing our world, our people, and ourselves.
