Lip Service. (499)

‘You know, I was facing tough time and was stuck in financial crunch, and nobody helped me when I was facing this phase of life.’
I was telling this to my dear friend.

What happened then, he asked!

Somehow, I managed, I replied.

My friend promptly replied, ‘you should have told me. I would have helped you..’

I did not get a note of his words as I was aware, this my good friend is known for his lip service only.

Lip service, whatever maybe the literal meaning of lip service may be,It has got an important yet derogatory and unpleasant role in relationship with each other between the human beings.

When people come across with each other, becoming friends, relatives, Spouse, brothers, cousins, and so on so forth, relations are examined over time and with experience.

The time is such an eternal entity in this living planet, it is given equal to each and everyone living in any chromosomal set up while fulfilling the duties of life all through different phases of life.

From childhood to last breath, one has to make relations and these relations are either transient or long lasting. Irony is that the concept of religion, advocates, harmony, affection, and symbiosis in some way or the other, but what is adopted is not extending love to the living beings or to help in any way to the needy. The ones who help are easily recognised, hardly matters. They are highlighted or not.

Many of the times it happens like when the problem is dealt with friends and relatives. Come forward and generate a lip service like you should have told me this to get this job done. Such kind of lip service is part and parcel of human society.
