"Just like the seasons come and go, good and bad things come and go as well. We should not let them make us anxious."
That's something our yoga teacher taught us today (or something like that). She read it from Bhagavadgita. It kind of makes sense. I know it's not a new idea, but this morning it made me realize something that's been bugging me since I got here. This is all pure speculation, but here's my theory.
India is getting richer, but if you look at the cities, it really doesn't show. Is it because people are thinking, "don't let it bug you"? I believe the biggest force behind invention and change is the feeling of something bothering you. If you're not bothered about the waste and the smell, you don't need it to go away. I know this is probably a bit far fetched, but it kind of makes sense, doesn't it?
