By nature as a human being we show the tendency to be sympathetic to others’ sufferings. Emotions burst out when the sufferers happen to be our friends and family members. We touch the hands and legs of our father and mother as if to give soothing balm to show our love to them. Such instinctive reaction to the sufferings of our parents, brothers and sisters reveal we care for them. There is a saying love has a need to be shown by action. Mere lip service cannot not reveal our love and care for needy persons. Therefore VVIPS attempt to talk to the victims of natural calamities or communal clash to assuage the wounded feelings. Without meeting them and without visiting the place that had been affected the VVIPs can act based on the reports of the bureaucrats. Like the VVIPS we too enquire as and when we see somebody weeping what had happened to him or her. This is simple reflection of everybody’s desire to extend help to each other. But one turns away without giving help when the quantum of requirement of the needy person shoots up higher than expected. A poor man may be able to spare a few amount of rupees to help someone. But he turns away if the amount touches three figure or more. That however does not mean that he is unsympathetic to the sufferings of the other people. He loves others. His problem is he does not have even a single pie to give to others. The wealthy and famous men and women are lucky they can show generosity to others. But they too will turn away if the demand does not match with the expectation. Generosity of a man can be known simply by visiting his house. Those who do not help even brothers and sisters will never think of serving other needy persons. Likewise a person known for living in his own with the family members around will be of no help to others. Mountaineers require training. Their endurance and stamina are tested before they set out to conquer high mountains. Likewise a man who finds solace with family members only will not do well as a public man. His first attention after becoming a representative of the public will be to create room for him to expand. Ministers and MLAs who show tendency to construct palatial building will cease to be true representative of the masses. That nature reveals their desire to remain aloof. By constructing beautiful houses they plan to bury their past of having nothing. What they do not know in constructing palatial building is that they have reduced themselves to the butt of common men’s joke. Could the house be constructed with the perk, pay and perquisites they are getting. Voters should think of kicking out such leaders from public life. They can be described in short form as “looters”.
