rudeness, culture and future


Read this beautifully written rudeness topic Vinod on rudeness. Rudeness, unethical, corrupt, impatient, unorganized, selfishness, miss-use, I am better/boss and like “good” qualities have become part of the local culture.
While in situations facing such scenarios, which mostly happens on the road on a daily basis, I feel that “God, give me the powers of superman/batman, I will correct the situation”.  But, “huhhh”, only I can leave breathe of helplessness.

Having seen western world, I feel that above mentioned qualities have reached an all-time high in this locality. This may be just my opinion and I could be wrong. I have seen mistakes/misunderstandings or rare unfortunate incidents due to some general policy taken for mass benefits, but never anything that happens on a daily basis in the developed world. The daily or near daily basis happenings in this locality bring down the quality of life. Suddenly thoughts that occur in my mind that why not China or Pakistan attack local, and local starts a fresh like Germany or Japan did few decades ago and this time with better culture (unlike what we have done post British). I would not say we have done badly in everything, but we could have done wonders. Better social system, medical system, better transport system, better city planning, etc. Coming back to fresh beginning, sometimes I think of 2012 dooms day or some alien invasion kind of things or something very random similar to those could be a trigger. Or even, Kalki bhagwaan appearing or natural resources dry up so much that human ecosystem gets revamped.  But what is the guaranty that system will start for a good next time. If that is the case, is there anything wrong in continuing what it is now. Triggers I mentioned may be ridiculous, but as part of some hope, can’t stop thinking about such.

I watch this Mahadev serial on life ok. When I see characters like Dhaksha, Tharakasura and even sometimes Indra’s selfishness, feel like things existed in the past and probably continue to exist. Unless there is an imaginary evil nature pumped into those characters.  Some 500 years down the line somebody should not rely on starwars or similar movies or books and conclude that we were really moving around the planets and at will. Or characters like Shrek, Golomb or talking animals existed. That is I don’t want to opine on existence or non-existence of evil nature in the past but can’t stop thoughts appearing into my mind, whenever I hit history or puranas.

Lets get back to present, people pressing lift doors close button (my past post) impatiently, road rage, corruption and live our part of life whatever we are good or bad at. Accept the reality!
