An inspiration from unknown personality

It was a usual day, I was travelling to the office in a nice cozy and cloudy weather. The red signal at Hinjewadi stopped my car and I was waiting for signal to turn green. Suddenly, I noticed one person wearing a sari with heavy makeup peeping in every car and begging for money. I realized that person is a hermaphrodite or eunuch. His unknown personality was depicted from his dress code and unusual clapping.

I thought he must be very unhappy in his life and has a great courage to live by the truth that he is neither a male nor a female. I had many questions in my mind about his unknown personality.

People were giving him such a rude and inhuman treatment irrespective of that he was standing strong, positive and ensuring that he goes to each car and beg.

Begging is not an option for anyone but I suppose due to the treatment he received from society that was the only way for him. It wasn’t his fault that he is a eunuch but the society was treating him as if he has asked for himself to become a eunuch.

I remembered different news from the daily newspapers about suicides, murders and other incidences that demonstrated negativity and frustrations faced by normal people. The resistance power to go through the pain is different of each individual, but when I compared this eunuch’s and a normal person’s pain, I thought a normal person has a very weak resistance power as this eunuch who is suffering and struggling for life since he must be a child.

Any male/female suffering and getting frustrated by any external/internal factors is nothing in front of his pain and struggle. I was astonished with his determination, strong will power and optimistic nature to face the life as it comes. His struggle starting from making other people realized that he is normal till accumulating sufficient money to live day-to-day life was simply incredible.

Normal people, even with their problems are accepted by the society but this eunuch was not even considered as a human being. In spite of all his problems and struggles, he was standing strong, positive and ready to win life and defeat all the odds. A quick thought flashed into my mind about the young generations, who are losing heart and life for different stupid reasons should look at this eunuch’s struggle and learn to solve the puzzles of their life.

Each individual struggles and suffers at different point of life but one should understand that for normal person this phase is temporary but for the people with disabilities their whole life is a pain and struggle, which is permanent throughout life. One has to understand that individual lives life once, so living it positively with whatever individual has(it may be anything from life, health, wealth, happiness, relations, people, skills) makes more sense rather than being negative and cribbing for different things that individual doesn’t have it. Heading positively in a negative phase makes pain smother and softer.

Whatever pain, struggles, defeats individual is facing it has to deal positively without losing heart and life. This unknown personality gave an inspiration to live life king-size and optimistically.
