One fine day I was wondering how much rich I should be to enjoy
the best luxuries in the world like having a home in Santa Monica or Palm
Beach, driving a Ferrari and
able to dine in world's most expensive restaurants. Then something in me
reminded is that what you want truly or you want to be able to be in
a position where in you can improve the life of at least 10 people, a thought
shared by my Founding Fathers!
We all are brought up with different values, ideologies, habits
and in experience different life styles. For some food is served in silver
spoon, others make it through a day with just one course of proper meal. Some
dress in Armani, some in
grandmother’s woven clothes and some are not fortunate to have any proper
clothes. Though in all the cases their fathers want the best for kids, be
sheltered, believing that when grown up their kids would take care of them.
We all work towards building better societies through working for
companies, paying taxes to government, defending our country by working for
armed forces or motivating generations by representing country or team in
sports. Though we still can’t see how does other's contributions help you.
Founding fathers of great countries have laid solid foundations,
be it George Washington and Franklin D. Roosevelt for USA or Lal Bahadur Shastri and
Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel for India and so
many other great leaders for all great civilizations. They would have really
been very disheartened to see how non-united today's societies are, this is not
what they wished in providing nations freedom.
Nation's should be united for them to prosper, societies should be
successful communities solving local issues and people should be hard working
to have happy and successful families. Unfortunately, we follow the reverse
approach, myself first and nation last.
Founding fathers wanted united civilization not just for trade but
for societies to keep evolving and if the day comes when we do find life on
some other planet, we can send a strong message that Every Earthling has an
equal role in society doing something which he wishes and his capable of.
Good Values do not just come from parents, but from teachers,
friends, peers, family and every one person you interact in society. Next time some negative thing / thought
happens to you remember the vision my founding fathers shared " You
need to be in a position
where in you can help at least 10 people, and ask yourself staying down would
it help achieving it, never !!! Keep rising, till you cannot see horizon
anymore, just a flat and equal society”!!!!!
good beginning...will offer my comments a bit later.
