I would love to be known as a RESPONSIBLE CITIZEN of this country. But most of the times I am more bothered what will happen to me rather than to my country. Then am I a responsible citizen?
Because I too like most others:
- Never think twice before littering the roads.
- Never raise my voice when I see a road mended just recently being dug again for some other job.
- Never implicate the groups that made me miss a day's business and destroyed public property in the pretext of a "bund".
- Never calibrate the amount of electricity, water and wood consumed in my family.
I am just a CITIZEN due to birth. I do not possess any traits of being a responsible citizen.
But then I wonder what being a responsible citizen means.
a. Does it mean to follow all the rules of the state, whether just or unjust.
b. Does it mean to live in peace and harmony with the surroundings, even if others are not.
c. Does it mean to pay all the taxes, even when we know most of public money will fall in wrong hands.
d. Does it mean to cast vote every elections, even if all the local goons are contesting in it.
So what does it mean for you?

ReplyDeleteOne must vote even if you feel that not a single candidate worth and select the one having most credentials out of the least. Actually one should have an authority to reject all in case which unfortunately is not existing by constitution.
