Indulgence!
The ability to resist our whims and desires.
The very quality in which we Indians, the most revered civilization
on Earth, ought to expertise. Of course, it is a solid constituent
and a part and parcel of our everyday life. In the name of our
motherland, in the way we lead our living, in the view that we care
to have on others’ problems, I leave our ultimate semblance on this
grounds to the rest of this text.
Around
the globe, people respect India and its cultural opulence. Let’s
spare a moment discussing this. True to our soul, think of the way we
spend every day here. Unfortunately, we will be left in a pathetic
situation which leaves us with no choice other than feeling offended.
We must rather feel guilty for the position we get abroad on
emotional and cultural grounds.
Speaking
on this roughly would rather bring an obscure picture. Let’s dig
this further and I’m happy if we get a clear picture, which might
in turn arouse a fire that solves them.
Strange Omnipresence
We
people take proverbs and old sayings a big deal, in fact use them as
guides to many important decisions we take in life, later we blame
the same too for the terrible aftermath. Here steps in the pseudo
support of indulgence. Thanks to the generations that sowed its seeds
in this ultra-modern society we live in, and generously brought that
up. The point is that the sayings have not been understood as they
were to be. I would rather say they are being presumed in the manner
that pleases us.
So we
tend to act in a way we like, with absolutely no care about society’s
understanding, which might get opposed at dawn, but unfortunately,
followed blindly before dusk that follows. Every Indian nook and
corner has at least a stain of this trend. Basically a problem (the
evil to the eyes of writer) has an ability to spread like a wildfire
in all means, which lay the pavement for the well-established
socialism, Criminality of course.
Corruption
is one such example. It is more like a lay man starting his life with
all his might to make for his daily bread. He will look for all means
to get into a job at first, then making his position permanent at the
first job or moving to a better place where he gets chance to spread
his business and revered more. That’s the way. He’s the boss
then, independent to be on his own. Here comes an addiction and
support that drives him. Corruption too ruins the society with such
steadiness at every stage, boosted by the Indian indulgence that
flood around.
Here
the point the readers are requested to note is the ‘Independence’
factor that’s in the driver’s seat. Our motherland too got very
much used to this evil only at the post-independence decades, when we
pretend to be on our own. Because pre independent India was driven by
very strong ambitions and aspirations with no room for reluctance and
tolerance of any kind of evils. But now, we cannot deny that we were
reluctant at first. But we develop ignorance as days go by, to travel
in their ethical way, against the way that is really ethical, like an
adolescent against his fathers’ words.
Unethical Ethics
We
have practiced to live with many criminals within, in every person or
society. We do encourage them at every stage of their development by
our inherent qualities. Awesomeness. We have immediate criminal
encounters everywhere both in reality and every column of newspapers.
Bribery,
the most pampered child of Indulgence. Wow! It’s a necessary evil
nowadays. We often consider bribing as a duty. We do everything for a
reason of course. We have made up our auspicious minds that bribe too
is for a reason. We plan the same as a part of our budget. Lovely,
isn’t it? It somehow occupies the honourable position of the
society, making its victims colour-blind.
In what
way I’m degraded to bribery? Claims robbery. Our KNOWLEDGE is what
matters. Bribery takes things with our knowledge, while robbery cares
not. So do the punishments. Every chain that is snatched came out of
indulgence that screens our inborn emotions to resist. We don’t
even have guts to launch a police complaint, guided by our soul’s
voice sounding that to be useless.
We are
yet to encounter another similar necessarily omnipresent Social
Giant, which dwells with pride in every currency bill we give in. Any
essential embodiment of the society has its footprint, i.e., the
donations that we pay in every institution that we deal with. It
starts with a monetary assistance they accept to build themselves, to
the commanding demand they pose to customers, subscribers, students,
candidates or any other better name you may call the victims by.
Nowadays people even don’t care to claim proper receipts for the
funds they pay, as instructed by their ignorance. We want admissions
in prestigious institutions, ready to spend lakhs off the record.
Reasons?
If
I am not wrong, I say the driving reason backing up these is the
reluctance we do have to show interest in it, cleared by the above
stated instances. We proudly consider it to be wise to be away from
these evils to care a lot about our personal business and living. We
don’t have enough patience and involvement to get into it and do
our part against it. We don’t find it better to be in governing
too, considering politics to be rubbish. People nowadays find no time
to care for others and have mind to help them. We advise our children
not even to speak to strangers. The girls at home are instructed not
to rely upon any strange man she finds. But we rely upon arranged
marriages.
Many
who advise don’t follow the same. Contradictorily, we strictly
follow it.
We
rush away from a crime scene or a heartrending accident scene. We
develop hatred against police stations, even to step into it. If we
want a service done at a government office, we have developed and
practiced a wonderful nature of enquiring the personnel and settling
the honorary special pay to get the job done (boosting up the
process, in department terminology).
Anything looks ordered from distance. All these crimes
may pretend to be the parts of our wellbeing from such distant
visage. Chaos of course lies warm within the smoke on mirrors they
show. A little bit closer look may show its true colours that
facilitate reformers to take care of.
But
who cares!
