Who wants to bring the change????
Everyone!!!
Who wants to change???
No one!!
A very peculiar situation which is seen in the modern
society from time to time. People in the country or the world at large always
seem to crib for one or the other thing. They want the system to change. They want
that everything should be in place, be disciplined and be as per the rules. They
want no crowd anywhere. They want the police to come on time. They want the
traffic to be reduced. People want the antisocial elements to be eradicated. They
want drugs to be eliminated. They want everything in a picture perfect way. They
want corruption to end. They want black money to be brought back…
But anyone of the general public, if asked, what they are
doing for it, will reply, “Why should I do something for an issue? There are
specialized departments, NGO’s, ministers etc for the same? What effect will I be
producing even if I start a change?” the answer, “IN ORDER TO ACCOMMODATE BIGGER
CHANGES IN SOCIETY, WE NEED TO ACCOMMODATE SMALL CHANGES IN OUR OWN LIFESTYLE.”
Take the example of “Swachh Bharat” Campaign. When this
campaign was launched, people seemed to be so enthusiastic about it. A million
of pics were uploaded over social media with broom in hand and people sweeping
the localities. But for once, think, about the use of sweeping the street if
someone from the family or friend circle throw garbage at the street every
morning or late at night.
People want change no doubt. But how many of us have tried
something for that change. Are we not the ones, who try to bribe the traffic
police who challans us for over speeding or not wearing a helmet, or are we not
the ones, who try to lure the government employee by additional benefits to move
up our pending file. Or do we not try to bribe people in our general lives to
do our work. The point is, these small evils find itself hidden in the bigger
darkness which prevail on the mind of the modern man. Many of propagate and support
freedom of speech, but when someone in the country speaks something which might
be opposed to our view on the same issue, a debate is born on who is right and
who is wrong.
One thing must be understood very clearly, that in order to
change, we must interact, and that interaction must be at personal level, at
the lowest level, the level of a single individual. Before passing any remark
on any human we should be sensible enough to know that it is not the socially
acceptable to comment on someone based on any pre conceived notion. To debate
something is sensible, but to criticize someone without knowing his point is
absurd.
To change, it is essential to discuss and interact….
But before interacting everyone should be sensible enough to
accommodate other’s viewpoint in a healthy way….
If someone wants to convey his viewpoint in any form, the
society should think 1000% times before being harsh to him/her. If one wants
change, one must be liberal and modern, not only in outfit but also in views
and mentality…
