To a certain\u00a0extent the quest did end.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>Today again, I stand at such a threshold where there are questions; I pose not to myself but to society, only to get ambiguous answers.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>It&#8217;s very certain that the dilemma will never be resolved. Now, what&#8217;s the dilemma???<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><br>&#8220;Why does nobility suffer?&#8221;(pls note not just noble people)<br><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The two noblest of professions is being a doctor or a teacher. Both deal with human beings directly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images.pexels.com\/photos\/2324837\/pexels-photo-2324837.jpeg?auto=compress&amp;cs=tinysrgb&amp;dpr=1&amp;w=500\" alt=\"Surgeons performing surgery\"\/><figcaption>Doctor @pexels<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>But today the two worst affected professions are also the same two.<br>A doctor can&#8217;t feel the pulse or temperature of his patient and a teacher can&#8217;t pat the back of a student.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>Wearing a mask, gloves and other things\u00a0 to protect himself has somewhere made him feel the loss of human touch, which is instrumental in a patient&#8217;s speedy recovery.Words of empathy and courage to instill confidence may appear thoughts of bygone days, right now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>\u00a0A teacher is synonymous of chalk and dusterand that&#8217;s replaced by a laptop or a mobile which she had forbidden in class, but without those she can&#8217;t engage a class today.The pleasure of interacting with\u00a0 all her live dolls together may not be an immediate possibility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Does this mean these two professions will gradually fade away. Certainly not. It&#8217;s the toughest of winds that teach the best of\u00a0 lessons.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>It&#8217;s just a matter of time. Years later when we sit to think how this phase of life passed, we again arrive at Unanswered questions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>Perhaps this chain of ambiguity will never get resolved. Yet life has to go on.<br>Finding answers to a few and enjoying the unanswered questions.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>So I\u00a0 stand to conclude not to resolve the unresolvable, because at times questions are more appealing\u00a0 and satisfying than the answers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><span class=\"span-reading-time rt-reading-time\" style=\"display: block;\"><span class=\"rt-label rt-prefix\">Reading Time: <\/span> <span class=\"rt-time\"> 2<\/span> <span class=\"rt-label rt-postfix\">minutes<\/span><\/span>Right from my childhood, I had unanswered\u00a0questions.\u00a0 Hoping that I would myself search answers or life would someday answer my questions, I walked through the&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1287,"featured_media":1737,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[660,572,152,58],"class_list":["post-1734","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-english","tag-doctor","tag-english-article","tag-indian-teacher","tag-teacher"],"amp_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.chandamama.in\/story\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1734","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.chandamama.in\/story\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.chandamama.in\/story\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.chandamama.in\/story\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1287"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.chandamama.in\/story\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1734"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.chandamama.in\/story\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1734\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1773,"href":"https:\/\/www.chandamama.in\/story\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1734\/revisions\/1773"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.chandamama.in\/story\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1737"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.chandamama.in\/story\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1734"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.chandamama.in\/story\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1734"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.chandamama.in\/story\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1734"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
