I ask a question to many people- Given an option will they pay taxes and the typical answer I get is NO. " Why should we pay taxes without any benefit?" In other words we dont understand that the "haves" have a responsibility towards the "Have- nots".
Going by the same logic why should anybody earn for their family because what is the benefit obtained by earning the money for the family. The problem is our myopic definition of life and family. The point I am making is why cant we program our brains to think beyond a few set of people as family. Family is our primary responsibility but not the only responsibility. Even better lets broaden the definition of family.
We have not liberated our minds. We are yet to get independence from the narrow minded thinking.

Hello Sir,
I completely agree to what you have quoted.
I believe all the problems with our system is the narrow minded approach of the people which includes me and many around me.....
But sir, i think i will never blame the system anymore. Its because even I am a part of it but am doing nothing as of now.
I believe there are lakhs of professionals in our country.
Is any of them concerned about the flaws in the system. May be there are many but is there one man who takes a step forward to contribute to the change, No......
For each and every difficulties and flaws in the system, people put the entire blame on the prevailing political system of the Country or corruption in the system without even thinking that the people who they are blaming to be corrupt or criminals are the one who they elected.
But again the question arises is aren't there educated people in our Nation. If yes why don't even some of them take a step forward to the welfare of our society.
I can't even imagine if the freedom fighters had thought in line of what people think today, many of the so called educated class people would have been cleaning toilets of Britishers today.
I know the words are very very rude but I am very very upset with the current set-up.
hi sir,
what i think is that changing the point of view of people would be a too tiring job...
even if i bring up this subject at my home i am subjected to questions like,"in what way will it help us..?"...or comments like,"the system itself is corrupt and obviously the money will end up being in wrong hands..."
they too even are right in their view as views always develop with an experience....
i will end up saying that if the teacher itself isnt convinced with something then how will the student go in right direction....??
