A thought provoking excerpt from a friend's blog - disturbed me a lot

A
politician is an individual who is a formally recognized and active
member of a government, or a person who influences the way a society is
governed through an understanding of political power and group
dynamics. But do you think Politicians any means conform to the
definition? The meaning of is to look for the people without
really thinking of his own. One who lives for the people, elected by
the people and serves to the people can be termed as a representative.
But where can you really find the link between today's politicians and
the one in the books as definition or the meaning. You can anybody and
all will tell that politicians are worthless. I am not here to tell the
same to you. I want to tell you it's we who are worthless. Even if I or
any of you be a politician, you will be the exact photocopy of today's
politician. You know why? We don't have courage to be truthful, honest
and tell the truth. Same is the case with me. But I want to be truthful
at least in this blog.

It's
all about the system. We all know that we want our child to take birth
in a nursing home. So we have money to spend and hence admit to a well
recognized nursing home. There you go. So Govt. hospitals that are
authorized to serve people's health is not opted for. So the doctors
out there will suggest you to go to a nursing home. And we also go. Now
the same an ordinary people whose monthly income is 1,000 Rs. can't
afford. It leads to degradation of Govt. Hospitals
and inflation (astronomical) of medical costs. Can't we admit our wives
to Govt. Hospitals and fight for better facilities and doctors. That
time we are selfish and while blaming others we shout. Isn't it a
mockery of us?

Next
will be our education. Best school (private, English medium), best
private tutor (preferably from the school) and pay high to get the
leaked notes, question paper. Why? We don't want our children to be
educated rather we want them to earn huge money so that they can give
money at our old ages. This leads to degradation of education system,
unfair examination system and incapable future. What they will study?
Education imbibes enlightenment which can bring knowledge, power,
thinking judging skills and to decide what to do. But if the
pampered sons/daughters of riches be the IAS/IPS/Politicians/Govt.
Employees/Doctors/Engineers/IT professionals what more we can expect?

"Sunshine
shows the day"-So what does this shows? Will anybody among them will
think for the downtrodden or will go on similar lines as their parents
did to make him successful (paying high donations during admissions to
higher education, tuition fees use references to get into reputed
MNC's/high govt. jobs). Life is a full waste of them as they can't
think they don't know what is life? Never read any science still their
degree and job shows a lot. How can you expect them to do something for
the nation/human civilization when their society taught them to be
selfish to gain more wealth, power, love (sex, glamour and not love)
and attention? He will never know the struggle of a farmer to reap a
grain of rice which he's leaving off every day in his plate. He will
never know the sufferings of those for which he's so comfortable in his
life (A.C, flat, car, mobile).

During
employment we are either doing useless, clerical white colored
work which is mundane, repetitive and non-creative jobs else we will
grew up as a manager to exploit/drink blood of others only to make
somebody more rich. Their billion crore asset is increased by 1 million
so take .001% of the amount (we give more to our pet dogs).

"Do
everything to make your baby lead a happy life"- So what needs to be
done? buy 3 cars for 2 people contributing to pollution and increasing
cost decreasing attention public transport, auto/taxi's
in deciding destination fare and higher prices of fuel
(demand-supply methodology) with more traffic jam. So we give a world
of selfishness, unprecedented usage of natural resources, pollution and
a perverted mind full of anger, frustration, greed, division w.r.t
money, status, power and never nurture the true humanity, ethics,
morale values, soft senses.

Do
we realize the same, do any introspection or feel regret/guilty or
understand consequences or ever try to think to revert the progress of
humanity to utmost destruction unknowingly? Life is short. Even if you
realize (self-realization or forced) do we have the courage to do
something or have the clarity of what to do? I think we have it when we
are at death beds which are expected in 60-70 yrs of age. So let's
think it before the realities of life, the raw truth hit our
consciences hard enough to our lives miserable.
