Sometimes, we may not realise our own luck, for first we had been to a kinder garden school where we got to know the name of each colour, more so, with that knowledge we demanded our folks to buy clothes for us in our favourite colours. Now, it did not end there, as we displayed it to our friends and families and found happiness in that act, but at that time we did not realise that we were hurting others, especially those who may not be lucky; in this case, it pertains to those who cannot afford. Now, this scenario may temper one, but unfortunately, it makes one sad and also makes one pursue material things.
A fact is I like the colour red and my wardrobe has a good collection of reds, but later I came to know that many people in the clothing industry work with low income and face a lot of hardships, I understood that their life can be associated with the colour red, a colour that signifies pain and strife, but I understood that they somehow found enthusiasm and something beyond as they work with bliss. I also understood that I am not wearing just clothes, but it is the sweat and toil of people. I also came to know that some weavers who make cloths can’t afford the clothes they actually weave.
There is a saying, “the society judges a man by the clothes he wears”, but at the same time, there is another saying, that is “the society is judged by the way it treats its underprivileged”.
More so, it is said to be bad luck if one is born poor, for he has to taste pain. It is also considered good luck if one is born in wealth, as he indulges in different clothes and styles. However, fulfilling happiness presents itself not because of luck, but when we donate.
More so, giving sweets satisfies only the taste buds and presenting money as a charity has no certainty that it will reach its objective, but clothes are something different, as clothes make people feel a sense of exuberance.
Thus, a campaign to give clothes is wonderful, for it has the potential to make the world colourful and joyful.
