Hate the deed and not the person...
Must have read this umpteen times but today i would like to give it a thought. While jogging on the track a sudden thought came to me that why do we hate any person. We hate him because we do not approve of his actions. The thing to ponder is not all of his actions but some of his actions. Why do we like some person. Because we approve of some of his/her actions. Again a thing to ponder not all of his/her actions.
That brings us to think that actually we hate actions and not persons. Well than if we focus on hating actions we would actually like everyone. Because we have demarcated actions from persons and now we can always say that i like you but i do not approve of your this action.
Where does this thought lead us.
Ministers are never corrupt Nations are....
Well you may say it is a very bold statement. Yes it is a bold statement.
Let us understand this.
Consider a country where people hate corruption. Then the mass will oppose any corrupt practice and disapprove any such action. Even to the tune that if he/she himself is offered a chance he/she will not get corrupted and will fight the deed.
Alternatively if the mass hates a minister because he /she is corrupt and not the deed. Then the anger is shown towards the person and not the deed.
Many a times it give rise to the feeling which is disastrous...
"Everybody does it so why should I not .... "
Now this is a bold statement and we have seen this many a times.
So the Nation has 3 types of people 1) Dishonest and corrupt people... 2) Honest people
and though these 2 categories would be smaller in number ... there would be a vast majority of people who would come under a special category and that is the biggest challenge...
3) Honest because never had a chance to be dishonest......
Think about it.....
The thought process of any society , religion or a nation does not belong to a few persons who hold the chair ...
It is the image of the thought process of a common man....
Any nation where a common man is honest in thought process ( We are not hinting at action ... because action requires opportunity ) ... that Nation will always be honest in general...
And any nation where a common man is dishonest in thought process that nation will never get honest because thought process are seeds which germinate when the conditions are ripe... it is like weeds ...you destroy some today and tomorrow they will appear again....
And one day we will say....
"Nothing can be done....... "
And this rule applies to any society , religion , state , country or the world in specific...
Think about it.....
