Founding Fathers !!!!

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”!!!!!
