Destiny

Quite often,when I am walking down a small street in a small and insignificant part of the city I see these women and little kids picking up rags and plastics from the dumpyards and trash can.They get a few rupees here and there for seperating different kind of trash.I am reminded of the saying,"One man's trash is another man's gold"
I look at them and then I look at me.What mistake did they make? Who gets to decide who's the rag picker and who's a PhD student? Its nothing to do with brain size.Any given day,i'm sure most of them can beat me at an IQ quiz. Then where lies the fault? Is their only fault their birth? Why was that girl born in the house of a rag picker and I in the house of doctors? Why does she have to fight for every piece of bread she eats, and no one says a word when I ruin a million dollar deal? You'd say I'm lucky.I'd ask, why isn't she?
Its when all these questions are reeling in my mind that I start believing in the term called "Destiny". Its the only difference between me and her.The only birthmark that seperates the two. She is picking rags because she is destined to do so.I'm pursuing a phd 'cause I'm destined to do exactly that. She did not choose her life,I did not choose mine.But then who did? Who put me in an air conditioned cabin and her on the dumpyard? Does this mean that their are higher powers? There is a GOD?
But then,why is God unfair to her?They say He loves all;big and small.But then why does this difference exist? Hinduism and a lot of other religions explain this as a result of past deeds.Deeds from your past life. But I like to believe that God forgives. That his love is unconditional. That no matter what you do,he will always love you. Then why does he choose to differentiate?
I dont know the answers and that is what disturbs me. So when someone tells me they are sympathetic for the "poor" and then turn around and crib about problems from their workplace.I feel sympathetic towards them.They don't realize how lucky they are.And I feel angry at them...for the very same reason.
