I often see people sharing their problems with others and others listen to them casually and try to ignore them as those problems are not hurting them. Most of us don't bother ourselves with others' problems and try to hide under the shade of peace and ignore the fact that in a community one's problem can reach us in no time. 

The following story will show you that just like there is a food web there is a problem web, and we are connected. 

" What happens in our surroundings has access to reach our boundaries".

After reading this story you will be able to judge different factors you ignored as potential threats to others and got harmed differently.

A rat lived in a farmer's house, one day the mouse saw that the farmer and his wife were carrying a bag, and the mouse thought that there might be some food. On closer inspection, he found that it was a rat trap.

Sensing the danger, he went to the back of the house and told the pigeon about the danger that had entered the house.

The pigeon mockingly said, "It's none of my business" That's not for me so why should I be worried?

The disappointed mouse went to tell this the rooster

Rooster mockingly said… Go, bro, it's not my problem.

The disappointed mouse told this to the goat… and the goat started laughing and frolicking. No one was ready to help the rat as it was not their problem.

That same night there was a rattling sound in the mouse cage in which a poisonous snake was trapped.

Mistaking its tail for a mouse in the dark, the farmer's wife pulled it out, and the snake bit her.

When his health worsened, the farmer called the doctor.

The doctor advised him to feed her pigeon's soup.

After hearing the news, many relatives of the farmer came to meet, and the chicken was slaughtered to provide food for them.

After a few days, the farmer's wife died. There was no choice but to sacrifice the goat at the funeral to feed the visitors.

Till then the rat had gone far… far away…………

Conclusion:

 Can we ignore lurking threats in our surroundings? To be safe we need to protect all in our surroundings.

    No we can't ignore the problems of others, because as you said we are interconnected. And yes there is web of problem. But unfortunately in current era, people are so busy in Thier lives that they did not pay attention to the fire in others home. Until it will reach their home.

    We are humans, so we must help each other. If that doesn't happen, the problem will destroy us. Your story was great with a strong moral message.
