Dear all,
very interesting discussion and participants have raised questions basically about attitude. Believe me it is all about attitude whether one lives in India,US or any other place. What decides one's attitude is one's philosophy of life. Our core values are hard to change but acquired values like dislike for dust and heat do change with environment. People do get used to some basic creature comfort and when they don't get them it bothers them and ofcourse it is natural to complain.
However some people complain and others don't because of difference in their priorities. One who places his own comfort over and above any social obligations will most likely not put up with discomforts (that may be the reason why some wives don't want to go to village because they odn't get creature comforts there and have little or no spiritual attachment with any one living in the village. Ask the same girl if she would visit her mother in the next village in all likelihood she will ignore all discomforts because she has spiritual connection and attachment with her parents.)
Human body is very adaptable and gets used to environment in which one has to live. Even after living for long periods in comfortable environment one can get used to some heat and dust provided he is motivated enough.
Why some people change their language and priorities after leaving village is not difficult to apprehend. Perhaps they suffer from inferiority complex and try to compensate for it by changing their accent or life style. Who is to say that one person is better than other because he lives there and not here. One rule applies to all human beings that they are at their best behaviour when they are not stressed out or threatened. When a person rises above his littleself he/she can empathise with others and probably try and help those who are dear to him. If this statement is true then logically we can also say that any one who is financially secure himself will probably try and help others who are not as fortunate. Going to US or any other developed country is a step in the direction of financial independence and those who are successful their and have risen above their own needs are better able and willing to help others who need iit most. There are quite a few examples in US e.g. Dr. G.R.Verma, Sh. Ram Sarup Arya and am sure there are quite a few we don't even know about. Those are silent achievers and worthy of following. On the other hand there are those who forget their back ground were probably not much use to any one when they were in India then where is the loss if they have forgotten their motherland. Good luck to them because they are going to need it. Material comforts are no substitute for peace of mind which comes from knowing that you are doing the right thing. Does any one here remember Onasis case. He is also a Jat who was so unfortunate that even after marrying the richest girl peace and happiness eluded him. Perhaps culture has some thing to do with it or may be his philosophy of life or just misfortune. Others can learn from it.
