Most Classic Example for Blame Transfer

Submitted by rajat on
I was checking my mailbox this afternoon. As an active member of few of the social groups, I receive a lot of mails from them. One thing struck me this morning. Most of the people today, who work in the social circuit, have a wonderful thing in common. They are concentrating on "Empowering","Making Aware", "Involving", "Informing", "Educating"... and so on... the CHILDREN of our country.

Not that there is anything wrong that I see in this, but somewhere deep down inside that part of me, which keeps looking for the blame transfers gets flared up. This is what I call a classic example of blame transfer. The current generation is so hopeless and frustrated with themselves that for all the good to come into the world, they try to force the responsibility onto the children. The awareness among children that must come as the second step after the present generation has implemented what they feel is right is taking the primary place. :)

Blame transfer. "We know we are too lazy, too ill equipped, too less motivated, too less resourceful, too less determined.. to implement an idea. But we need not drop the idea totally. We have a thing to do instead, Teach. Teach others what is right to be done. And then expect them to realize the dream. We know we do not even have sufficient courage to convince our generation, so let us go back to the poor people who have not been given the right to protest yet. Let us teach the children. No questions asked. And we can be happy that we are following are dreams". I feel that this last quote is the underlying mentality of many of the people in social circuit.

Why this post? Beware Sankalp people. Do not ever try to ask someone to do something that you can not do yourself. If a change is to be, let it come from within. Any act/show of concern about an issue and some quasi methods to substantiate your concern will be strictly disregarded. Beware! If a revolution is to come. YOU must bring it.

The actions teach more convincingly than the words.

there is a meanin sometimes in askin children to be aware of their society n realise their dreams but only in cases of some pple like our president mr.kalam...who is IN A POSITION to ask dem to dream n do..as he is the master of inspiration n he has done a lot to our nation..he wanted children n youth like us to be inspired through generations.. but there is absolutely no meanin in young pple tryin to inspire their next generations just by words... any revolutionary wud defnitely remain in the minds of pple through his actions n will b a source of inspiration for generations together..

I really appreciate your view and understanding of the subject. Hope pray and work that we do not preach what we do not follow.
