Fake Patriotism..Part 2

Its a fashion these days especially among the educated ones to keep commenting on the functioning of the Government and also blame them for their inability to formulate successful policies. That is true anyway. But it is very easy to superficially look at things through the media and come to a conclusion which usually ends up in blaming "others". Whats difficult but more important is to look at our own attitude as the citizens and as human beings. Hardly anyone comments on their own inability to contribute their little to the society. When the ground level itself is lazy and corrupt minded how can one expect otherwise from the top layer.

The person who comments on the higher most level of leaders, knowingly or unknowingly is himself corrupt. He cheats in the exam to pass, supports piracy in one way or the other, is unwilling to go into any government agencies, runs away from the small responsibilities, misuses government resources, bribes people to get driving license or just to escape from the hands of traffic police etc etc. The list is endless. If you are still not getting the point then it is unfortunate. The people sitting in parliament are one among us, and not some aliens who can create magic. If they are worthless that is because we all are. Only difference being that the politicians are higher level thieves..We are probably ready to criticize the Government and start a revolution but we are not yet ready to accept our own flaws and improve our attitude. And our country cannot improve without that..
