With a new moon of the year, my anticipation is mounting high for welcoming yet another year with curiousity and expectations. History has taught and re-enforced us with treasures of insights and experiences to envision what lies beyond one’s own being. We have had enough cramps and failures with lesser success stories to share and appritiate. We have come a long way working and hopping to see our society transformed in a creative and bright haome for the citizens: A home where every good things exist and functions.
We all hope to see a new, better, stronger, peaceful and corruption free society from 2017 where the “Good” of our society is not pinned down by multiple corruptions. The answer to all questions of corruption come down to the individual for when the individual is corrupted, the society becomes corrupted because it is the conglomeration of relations and interrelations of these individuals that makes the society. We become corrupt when the larger society is corrupted and that is why it matters. Corruption has become so pronounced and has effected us profoundly and that is why it matters.
There are piles of questions people are still wondering about and trying to find solutions to these pertinent and perinnial question rather than just finding a way out to live with it unattented. Let us consider the following queries:
1. why has our state of affairs never seemed to improve?
2. why the churches are failing to make us a good christians?
3. why has our government became so corrupted?
4. why has our politicians failed to deliver their promises to the people?
5. why has the bureaucrats became so complacent over the ails of our society?
6. why the central government is still able to cheat and play with us like stupid nuts?
7. why is there a rise in formation of NGOs and civil societies?
8. why is our state still economically backward?
9. why big projects and developmental activities are not able to make a stay in our state?
10. why our NPGs are not able to make a visible progress?
11.why most of us have forgotten our duties while fighting for our rights?
12. why has our governance and administrations became so loose?
13. why is our security not secured?
14. why is our society so activities oriented rather than result oriented?
15. why can’t we have a good roads, better health care facilities, better water and electric supplies?
16. why do we still need to fihgt and shout for our basic needs to the government?
17. why is our educational system so lame?
18. why is media so dependent on surface informations?
19. why is the problem of unemployment still on the rise?
20. why have we become so reluctant to discover ourselves and to come out of our selfishness, greed, laziness, jealousy, hatred and prejudical nature? And the list goes on. These are some of the questions of life that is gnawing our society and that is why it matters.
