oh my trending !!!

There are various types of government - monarchy, communists, democratic etc. Of all these governments democratic form of government is defined as people friendly. Again democracy is defined as Government of the people, by the people, for the people by Abraham Lincoln. For a predefined area one single person is chosen as a representative, collections of such representatives choose a leader and policies are defined under purview of such leadership.

Above paragraph looks so easy to understand but practically it is not. Why? 

Ultimate goal of any good government would be good governance. Good governance means apt representation of aspiration of a person irrespective of his/her caste, creed , religion or economic status for collective development. If you observe keenly in practice it is not so.

For example, a village writes to government for good roads and drinking water. There are distant chances of its request being considered by the administration just by posting a letter or visiting the office of the in-charge. Ideally administration shouldn't be waiting for such letters. When it identifies people settlement it becomes the duty of the government to provide necessary facilities. But in practice it requires considerable use of the term called "influence". It may be through a caste head or a political leader. So a citizen is forced to give in to pressures of so called mass leader for availing facilities.

 So wherein the world democracy being upheld, it is monarchy of different form wherein you are forced to part with your liberties in return for facilities from government.

An ideal way would be government giving due considerations to opinion / requests of the citizen who are willing to communicate with it through letters and memorandums with apt reply for the same.

To counter this indirect blackmailing from the powerful, citizens found unique way of organizing themselves in the form of associations and organizations wherein organizations expressed their opinions through demonstrations and protests to feel empowered in questioning their own created powerful entity.

But by latest these organizations and associations have been hijacked by face-book pages and whats app groups who completely misguide the masses on the basic reason / idea behind organizing themselves in the form of associations and organizations which is nothing but availing facilities from the powerful in the dignified manner.

The epitome of this madness is the politics of trending to showcase their opinion. But sad part of the story is the objectives these trending have achieved. Society would have benefited if there was trending seeking good health schemes or good housing schemes or good employment schemes which showcased the maturity of trend maker.  

What is your interest....??

When there was no digital media, people used to quench the thirst of interest in others in various different forms. For example, spending time while moving to work on a vehicle by checking with the worries/ happiness of the co-traveller. This would automatically create a kind of bond which no other fb friends request / linked in request would create.

But things have changed. If some interest arises with reference to a person we go to their fb wall and based on the kind of posts they offer we create a mental picture in our minds and pacify our hearts saying that concerned person is in no way expecting any personal interaction from our end. There is a termination of the interest. Or we just see that there is nothing special about the person and ignore them altogether. Its same case with the other end.

Social sites have more or less facilitated faking emotions. I see many pictures on internet wherein person might be living in a hut but his/ her selfies showcase him/her a millionare. 

We are so connected that divine hearty relationship between couples has become a totally non existent topic. Earleir if couple were in love and his/her friend hears gossip about the one among pair cheating the other, the friend would defend the love between the couple to his /her core. But in today's scenario the same friend would like to check if the boy/girl would be available for second round of date with him/her. Tastes have soured to such cheap level. And it is just another passing news.

Lack of self censorship and self dignity is driving the world towards a direction where-in one is losing the interest in others as well as interest in his/her own life which ultimately leads to a goal-less life that would gradually lead to a death trap/depression.

Studies will keep us interested till we graduate, work will keep us interested till we earn enough for our living, God will keep us interested till will feel it BUT only love has that ability to keep us interested till we die. So keep loving the world around you, not necessarily the filthy minded people around but it can be a small flower in your garden or a puppy in your neighbour. Nature never stops sharing its love with you.
