Do you want to correct yourself? If you want to test your mental ability in upholding the rule of law you will find the opportunity for doing that. Whether you are law abiding citizen or not can be known. What you have to do is drive a vehicle near the traffic island at Khoyathong near PCTC, which is manned by electric signal without men in uniform. You will not be asked to stop or go because there is no traffic stopper at the area. Traffic control there is done by electrical signal. If you can stop when the red light is emitted you can call yourself a gentlemen and if you drive past the area even when the red traffic signal is beaming the onlookers will brand you as rascal. What I saw today was uncivilised people did not halt their vehicles even when the red right was beaming. When will Manipuris learn traffic rules? None will learn. We are out to grab everything if there is a chance for doing that. Traffic rules need to be learnt by VIPs also. If they learn why not lowly guys too will learn. Because all good things come down from above. Lowly guys regard higher ups as their role model so they attempt to learn everything done by their icons. When Aamir Khan had his head cleanly shaven to play a role in a Hindi film thousands and thousands in India imitated his hair style. Likewise lower ranked officers imitate their boss in making sleazy money. Visit any office and the same word that you will hear from top to the lowest level will be do something follow the tradition. When you refuse to pay they will brand you as ungentle guy. A child learns everything from senior. They will imitate all that their elders are doing. At home you behave as upholders of truth yet on the street you defy all forms of rules. How will your children agree when you tell him to stop when the red light is signalled because you had not stopped and your children had witnessed that? Advice needs to be followed up by example. Think for the young children also. We will continue to produce rascals because we have not done anything good for the young children. Even the little space available for the young children to play had been used in the construction of crematorium and community hall. We think for ourselves only. That is evident in the ever increasing of crematorium. We do not want to share the pang of separation of one’s near and dear ones. If you have a crematorium at your Leikai you can abstain from participation in the consecration of the soulless body to the fire. Whatever we are seeing on the street starting from traffic rule violation to unnecessary movement of vehicles at full speed will instil evil spirit in the young minds. Let us think for young children. Behave like gentlemen on the street also. There cannot be two roles one for the public gathering and another on the street. Do not forget everyone is watching you.
