State of the nation(als)

Musing...

The wellbeing of our nation is our communal responsibility, as its citizens.

While it is easy to criticise the leaders who usually have greater influence over a majority of the prerequisite decisions, we must evaluate how well we use our own influence in whatever sphere we exert it, whether as the heads or members of a family, organization, community or even of ourselves.

* Do we do the right thing uncompromisingly, at every opportunity?

* Are we good managers of our time and other resources?

* Do we put the interests of others first? Are we fair and just in our dealings with people?

* Do we obey and uphold the laws of our nation, even in the absence of law enforcement agents?

These are pertinent points of evaluation in which we fail. Sadly, a seat of influence like the presidency or any other leadership role is too high profile a position for such lapses to go unnoticed. However, it doesn't make the average citizen any less culpable in whatever capacity, for the ills of our society.

If we make the practice of righteousness as popular and even more so, than corruption, our nation can begin the much needed recovery to full health
