We are least bothered to introspect/ analyse our private lives while a lot of data is available out our elected representatives & other public figures. Introspection is one of the toughest tasks for us while most of us likes to do easier tasks.
Almost all of us know what is moral and what not. Our political, religious, economic, ideological, ethnic allegiances decide our notion of morals & values.
With these preconceived notions, we evaluate morals & values in our personal lives. Being slave of our own allegiances, We usually take stand as per situational conveniences and compromise morals & values .
But Situations always prevail, and we will have to choose amongst wrong & lessor wrong. Our allegiances impact our thought process, Value system & morals. Every one of us has our own preconceived notions, hence exist people who do not conform to the morals & values systems accepted by majority of the society – So called Anti-social elements.
Even our lawmakers don’t enjoy the cent percent agreement on most of the laws passed so not all in the country are going to follow these laws. There comes the role of Law enforcement agencies and judiciary.
Coming back to our public life, Our Main political parties have policy makers, civil servants, economists, academicians, historians, even doctors and who not, having allegiance to the political ideology. People in opposition oppose the same things which they supportive of when they were in Government. We have scarcity of the sane & just voices in public life.
It seems there is no absolute morality but still we a long-term stability in the morals & value systems to prevent a chaos in the society. With time, the old morals & value system worn out & give way to new set of morals and value system.
The Reason for my pain may also be due to my allegiance to an older set of morals and value system. While the world is moving on towards the new set of morals, I’m still suffering.

ReplyDeleteIn order to conform to new standards of coolness we are forgetting our old value system...like we are becoming so blunt to react immediately on every thing we dislike and don't want to make any compromises to make things work...it is affecting every aspect of our lives..whether be personal or professional... another thing is that share of so called anti-social elements is increasing faster than ever in society...so it seems ok to compromise on our morals and to satisfy our conscience with the fact that we are still better than a lot -Nikky
