What picture can you refer to when I say "Common Man" ?
Your neighbour, some labour, PWD worker, Government employees, other employees?
Why not you and me? We are also common man!
Ok what does common man really mean? According to Wordweb (installed in my PC), it means:
(noun) A person who holds no title.
Well though this definition evokes some protest since we hold some title in our companies/organizations :). What it really means is that we do not occupy any title in our motherland to be renowned what so ever. We are the person who are affected by every one's action. Be it that some one gets born or till some one dies, we are the one who are affected! Remember we are the ocean. I will tell you why I kept this tag for us later. Till the read some facts of life which affects the you and me.
From Hospital where we are born till the crematory ground where we are either burnt or buried, we are bogged by a few viruses named Money, Fear and Greed. These viruses fusion together to form a bigger Virus namely "Politics" or "Adharma". We pay commissions (classically called bribes) everywhere: In school education where to authorities to admit our children for his better future, in colleges for getting a seat in renowned institutions, traffic police, police, doctor, corporation authorities, government authorities, etc etc and list is so huge to imagine and needs our lifetime to list them all!
We pay bribes forcefully else you and me will be sacked to death in this World. We fear that, we want to live, we want to make our children live (basic human need and interest). We want them to grow and live happily in this cruel world not realizing the pains that we suffer are enough. We make our future generations to suffer thinking future will be good. Positive thought alone cannot this world. You are asking why not?? ok here's the explanation given by my Principal of my college, Mr. V. Ramachandran: "There is one full glass of drinking water. If you pour even a single drop of impure water, the water in the glass will get contaminated." This is true, which can be proved only through experience. Before you experience, let me explain what it exactly relates to our life. Once you are into a gang which has similar interests, you will be less influenced but more compelled to do things that you do not wish to. It does not necessarily mean that you are corrupt, but you got forced into doing corruption. That is the world we are living in.
You cannot judge any person so easily in this world. Face value can lie most of the times, all are not saints after all! Not all who do wrong deeds are corrupt, they are forced into doing, otherwise their life and their dependents life is at risk/ doomed.
Fear comes into picture here. Next, why do people do wrong things? They are forced-
compulsion comes into picture here. Next, what are the side effects of our actions? Our fate/future-our
beliefs comes to question here. What if we want to avoid all these? Our
survival becomes a question!
People knowingly or unknowingly are affected by these ill factors and there is absolutely no control over it unless we all turn saints and the concept of business disappears. According to 1st law of Thermodynamics: "Energy can neither be created nor be destroyed. It can only be converted from one form to another". Applying this concept to our sufferings: One's loss is somebody's gain. We lose patience, peace of mind, interest, money etc. Politicians and other hooligans gain over it. At last what are we left with? Can we buy a home or car with the current salary that we get? How can politicians who earn less than we do can build bungalows? How can business people have 3 or 4 houses in every country? They never reveal these things out. How? They bribe authorities to not. They are the people for current price rise (inflation), violence etc. We common man are getting stuck in between them unable to breathe free. In fact paying IT is itself a waste, why do we need to bribe our government and make their children enjoy the luxurious life by skimming our Skin and Money? But the constitution laws are like that and we people respect "Dharma".
Politicians frame their own laws and "Dharmas" and make us follow them! We are in the end like Scape Goats, forced to follow blindly what others wish!
