Let's act on our part...

When we see people going through hard times or when we realise that they might be having some troubles in their life pertaining to any specific event or person or just in general, what runs through our mind?

When we talk about mental health and understanding the real gist of it, what do we exactly do?

Are we interested in getting the gist or considering that person's state of mind or we just want to listen and pretend to know what is happening and what might happen?

We see people ignoring them very easily because they don't tend to react and act the way we want. Statements are very beautifully curated to throw at them or about them when the chances come up to consider them. It is not a generalized opinion about any particular community on any group but a lot of time this seems to happen. 

I will try to give a very clear explanation relating to this behaviour towards a given group of people. We as humans, tend to maintain a relationship with people around us harmonically when it is mutual. We look for situations and people where our efforts do not go in vain and whether we want to or not, us expecting the same from the counterpart becomes more natural. There are people who selflessly try to contribute towards their partners of all kinds and have the false hope of getting something back, which may or may not come true. But maybe their partners stay the way they are, never to reciprocate. It is a basic plan to comprehend the process that forms a series of actions taken on our part and their circumstances faced later. 

When we find people going through tough times then the pity that we show causes no benefit to them but stepping up to cater to their needs which might be invisible or visible at times, can only make them feel better. Then also the question that arises is "Why should I?" Everyone tends to ask this question and tries to answer the opposite way and moves ahead. I know, maybe if we wouldn't do it, someone else will. But, who knows, how and at what stage. If our situation and position is considered highly enough to act well, then we should. A lot of times it does not work out the way it was expected but then many times it does. It is highly uncertain for us to decide what might happen but we tend to think for the positive when we step into it.

Many times thinking differs, way of analysing thing and putting them into action also differs. Everyone has his or her own way of approaching people, talking to them, fighting with them, making them understand and also helping them. Many of these ways from diverse group of people differs to large extent but also coincides at some point just like a minute hand and hour hand in a clock meets every 65 hour and 0.5  minutes. Obviously we cannot force anyone or we cannot make any one deliberately do something that they don't want to, in a general situation. And that is why it is very important on our part to act on our own when we get to see, listen and sense anything like this around us. 

Somehow every human seems to be attached to a lot of humans around him or her. It becomes more easy to scan what is near you and try to rule out if anything looks distorted. A bit by bit effort from our part never gets wasted and like any other process it travels back to us in one way or the other. Sometimes we might regret doing what was required after we become aware of the post effects but that is not something we can decide before hand and that is why uncertainty seems high. Why to go on looking for strangers or people we don't like when all we can do is to check up on the ones around us. It is also not that we have to or will do it continuously and regularly but we have the liberty to choose how, when and at what place or stage we can help and then should do it.
