मूर्खता नामक गुत्थी

यहाँ मूर्खता का संदर्भ सामुदायिक हितों को लेकर विचार हैं। अनेक विद्वान अधिकतर को मूर्ख समझते हैं और और कई उन्हें ही मूर्ख मानते हैं।गुत्थी यह है कि विद्वान के रूप में प्रतिष्ठित लोग भी एक-दूसरे को मूर्ख समझते हैं।

मूर्ख कौन है? कैसे पता चले?

मेरी समझ यह है कि मूर्खता नाम की कोई चीज नहीं है। यह सम्मानपूर्ण परस्पर संवाद की प्रवृत्ति का अभाव है। जिनमें यह प्रवृत्ति नहीं है, विद्वान होने के बावजूद उनकी मानसिकता दोषपूर्ण है।

Safety

Security of life is why we associate as a state and fund the government. Implicit in this concern is the protection of property and liberty, as these are needed for making human life possible.

The rest of the legitimate jobs the government performs are derivatives of this raison d'etre role of the government. And, beyond whatever the government does is undue interference in the social and personal affairs.

We ask for other things and put our lives in peril because of leftist indoctrination, or brainwashing.

Humanism Deficit

Humanism is essential to being human but for humanity, its realisation remains a far cry. Civilizations and communities took centuries or millennia to be aware of the human essence. And there remain those who still prevail, completely oblivious of their essential selves.

The present is an intense phase of the struggle between these two starting points of existential cognizance, humanism and transcendence, including the latter's secular variants. This is the root cause of many conflicts between civilizations and nations and within them.

महानता

बहुत से लोग महान होने का भ्रम पालते हैं और उनसे भी अधिक विशिष्ट होने का। महान होने की भावना विशिष्टता की भावना का अतिरेक है।

 
यह तथ्य है कि सभी विशिष्ट हैं लेकिन यह भी तथ्य है कि यह विशिष्टता नहीं है।

लोग विशिष्ट होने के उपरांत भी अपनी विशिष्टता के प्रदर्शन के लिए प्रयासरत रहते हैं और उस विशिष्टता के लिए मान्यता चाहते हैं। दूसरे शब्दों में, जयकारा की कामना रखते हैं।

वास्तव में यह दोषपूर्ण ज्ञानमीमांसा के द्वारा आरोपित अपूर्णता का बोध है। ऐसे अपूर्ण लोग अपनी अपूर्णता के अनुपात में दूसरों के लिए संकट बनते हैं।

Citizenry and Economic Growth

India is an economic powerhouse. The billion-plus citizenry fuels the momentum. Its further rise vis a vis other great economies is imminent. The point is to infuse more speed and quality into the process. All those genuinely concerned about their self-interest and general interest must talk about and demand ever greater ease of doing business and making the economy internationally competitive. Most of the socio-political problems which beguile and trouble us would go away without being noticed if we can raise the GDP growth rate to double digits. The activities generated by such a movement would engage most people in a very productive and creative relationship.

A respected business leader has raised concern about the unchecked population growth and obliquely spoke in terms of praising the 'emergency' years, tragically. It must be widely known that it is poverty which causes disproportionate population growth and it is not vice versa. Population rise is a matter of concern only for the reason that it pressures ecology, and for no other reasons as they are highlighted. It is a big youth population at this period, the demographic dividend, which is making India an economic powerhouse.

God's Abode

If you can empathise, 

it is you who is blessed.
You are His abode;
do not look for Him anywhere else.

The State of Democracy

Technology has built up highly functional and super-efficient democratization infrastructure. Despite that global democracy is sliding, even developed Western countries are no exception.
What may be the reason for that?

Medieval forces, or forces emerging during the age of unreason and hordes, had, in fact, DNAed their barbaric reflexes into a great number of people. The DNA still determines the beliefs of a sizable portion of the global population. They are also using the same infrastructure.

A secondary reason is that Western countries have a dual approach to democratic values. They deploy the most heinous stratagems to undermine democratic possibilities elsewhere. They practice democracy within their race only. Challenging is now for them to prevent things from boomeranging.
