We all have more or less joined the fray to be the owner of as many ‘material-possessions’ as we can. We always have it in our mind to acquire more and more. At one moment it seems that the world is ours but is it really so? If we really thought this world to be our family and had a sense of ownership for it then the world around us would be much happier than what it is now.We all take pride in owning a foreign bike or an expensive watch and take care that they remain in sound condition. Do we have a sense of ownership for our people? Why do we restrict our sense of ownership to few material manifestations? If we peep into our age-old culture then we will find that it is the land that propounded the theory of ‘Vasudhav Kutumbakam’. If this is our culture then why do we turn indifferent to our fellow beings? The reason is clear that the sense of ownership is fading within us with the passage of time. The missing of this very essential virtue is evident in the deepening rift between people, the burgeoning number of orphanages and old-age homes and the glaring hatred between various groups of people. If we really nurture this sense of ownership in ourselves then there would be less tension in our social set-up. Today when we see that we lack a sense of ownership and many of the grandparents are left alone to lead a melancholy life then having a sense of ownership for our country and people may sound funny. Its well said that home is the first and the best school any child. So it is the responsibility of parents and guardians to inculcate a sense of ownership in their children since the very beginning. We all live in a society and are inter-dependant on one another. If we lack this feeling of ownership then we will soon see this society fragmenting into small pieces each intriguing against the other.
