If we don’t stand for something we fall for everything

He was very much shattered when he came out of manager’s room. His expressions were evident enough, he was looking around for someone who can understand, and, someone did. He stood up and went straight back to the manager’s room taking him along. He told to the manager if you cannot solve the issue with his colleague he would resign. Because it’s illegal and unethical as well to force someone to do an overtime, without being paid for that, and specially when he has a family member admitted In the hospital in critical situation. After someone time, he came out and resigned.
Many of the people laughed at his foolishness and rest kept silence, as it had nothing to do with them.

How many times do we face such situations where we need to take a stand? How many times we actually take a step to enact the humanity and morality sacrificing our own personal interests. This is because of this “personal interest oriented” life which is leading us to a social disorder. I only bother about things if it mattesMe or its bothering any of My interests or I am getting any benefit out of it.

This kind of behavior leads towards a disowner ship towards society and nation.

This is the basic difference, because once you start disowning something, you leave it for others to shatter it down. Why in our society people are being killed every day and nobody can find the murderer. Why in our society that people take bribe and people give it happily. Why in our society that we are given such a pathetic educational system and none has questioned it ever seriously in 60 years. Why the injustice is in our society, which is being protected by the judiciaries. Why in our society only a rich can become a politician. Why in our society fundamentalist started coming up from every corner of country all of sudden? Why in our society All the leaders of the leading political parties are being accused by one another [with proves] and none of them ever ended up paying for that?

All these questions have a very simple answer. “it has nothing to do with me”. I am not foolish, better I keep silence. And the nation has been giving this answer last 60 years. We cannot do otherwise because to do it otherwise we must need to know thatif we don’t stand for something we fall for everything. We have to show the courage the first time, we have to give sacrifice the first time, we have to say No the first time, we have to think of something other than I, My and Me the first time and it will be the last time as it will be followed by so many that you won’t get your turn again.
