Wounds of the devil
No one asks whether you are related by blood or not, so don't expect anything. This world is like that, where there is meaning, the world goes there, drawn

I met an old acquaintance at the wedding ceremony, we chatted and I sat down next to her. She was very happy to see me. She was saying that she had been wanting to come and meet me for a long time.
"Why is it good?"
"By the grace of Allah, it is absolutely good. Actually, you know what a woman's life is like in widowhood.
I have been seeing the colors of the world for fifteen years... Masha Allah, the children have grown up now. There is no shortage of money. The children were very young and I was also young, you can be sure that the one who suffers is the one who suffers. He knows, Masha Allah, I have three brothers, one sister and a widowed mother. My mother's happiness encourages me, but I have such close relatives that they don't care at all that she has become a widow, she is helpless.
Just help her. The husband is the roof of the house. And if the roof falls off the house, then know what happens to a woman.
Our society only worships the rising sun. I did not get married again for the sake of the children, in one sense I have done good. Otherwise, today my children, Masha Allah, would not have been educated and held good positions. I have a son and a daughter. Now it is time for their marriages.
When I was very worried and wanted my siblings to help me, but on the one hand, they would sometimes meet me like strangers. Today, when the children have grown up, my son is handling all the work well, he asks me if I am sick or not. If you have a house and some comforts, I would say that those comforts cannot reduce your suffering, a person has to bear the suffering himself.
I listened to her conversation and replied. Thank God, all the comforts were there. If you had no means of living, you cannot imagine how many difficulties you would have faced. Now you have everything, your siblings do not do your small and big work. If you did not have a means of livelihood, I can say with confidence that no one would have helped you in those days, no one would have helped you financially. Now they know that you do not need anything and they greet you in a good way, otherwise your life would have become unbearable.
That was a different era when a neighbor knew that our neighbor was in trouble and being a neighbor, he would help and console him, similarly siblings would share each other's sorrows and joys, but today this has changed. No one asks whether it is a blood relation or not, so don't expect anything. This world is like that, where there is meaning, the world goes there with a pull.
We avoid going where there is no meaning, even if it is your sibling, but I must say one thing, it is indeed a world of selfishness, but still in our society, people have high morals and manners. Some people meet each other only with sincerity, love and acceptance. Tears came to her eyes after hearing my words. I didn't want her to cry on a happy occasion. I consoled her and she changed the subject of her words.
I was getting angry at such people. Indeed, it is a time of chaos, but a person is in trouble, his nights are spent in pain, so his needs should be met. This life is only a few days, we should try as much as possible to alleviate the suffering of people, to remove their suffering.
