Whether its a #IceBucketChallenge, #RiceBucketChallenge or #FrenchfryBucketChallenge, does it really make a difference?!
The last few weeks have been quite engaging for many who feel they can do their little bit too in saving the world.
But really think about it again?!
It may help a few people but definitely not the entire bunch.
When there was an issue with the #IceBucketChallenge being a taboo to Indian Culture as we are literally crying for water everyday, the #RiceBucketChallenge came along and I have to say that at least that made some sense. Feeding our poor nation. And now the biggest discussion among well known foodies is the #FrenchfryBucketChallenge.
There is nothing about all of this that fancies my interests.
It is all for publicity. I don't want to disrespect the very few people who I can actually count on my finger tips, but do we actually think of the reason behind it before we throw that bucket of water over our heads.
I think we need to go beyond all this. Search for a cure by actually saving someone.
ALS is not a joke. It is something so horrible that any person can suffer from.
People are so concerned about how many likes and comments those videos of theirs will get .
I bet most of these people don't know what ALS stands for leave alone knowing what it means.
Even if I had to risk my life, I would never lose it to this. There are so many more mature ways to help these people out.
If you actually want to help people, it will come straight from the heart. You wont feel any kind of compulsion to do so. The thought is not the issue, it is how people take to it that worries me.
So I would just like to say that if you feel there's something good coming out of this, that's great. But you know you can do way better. Show the world!
