Selfish – Who? Politicians or Public?

This Blog is not aimed at being satirical! 

Selfish (adj) - devoted to or caring only for oneself; concerned primarily with one's own interests, benefits, welfare, etc., regardless of others 

This is how dictionary defines the word “selfish”. 

Politicians in India are selfish. It is inarguably a very true statement but then when we compare them with the public they prove to be far more better. 

We people keep away from the politics because of three main reasons: 
a) The persistent risk involved – due to competition and struggle for power.
b) Lack of respect in the society (Unless you reach to higher level. 
c) Loss of peace and time devoted for domestic life. 

When someone decides to get into active politics (for any reason), he primarily is willing to forego all his personal pleasures and take on the above-said challenges. And the people keeping away from politics are selfish in this regard. The moment they get a life-threatening call from the so-called politicians, they take back seat – with fond memories of their family and interests. 

The very people who call themselves an ordinary ones who want only peace in life and not greedy of accumulating wealth or enjoying extreme pleasures, fail to see the reality. The reality is that the highest degree of greed is the expectancy of a peaceful life, like a journey through frictionless glass road. 

In this fast paced world, we need to run fast enough atleast to stay in a place. Likewise, to live in peace we have to fight hard and guide our future generations to establish a new model. We need to nurture thoughts of selflessness on the kids and make them realise the importance of their role in building the nation. 

We cannot afford to keep the learned people away from the administration of the country and pray for miracle to happen. Even the luck favours only the brave.
