OUR DEAR AJAY
Today you have quoted Karnataka Lok Ayukta Mr.Santosh (Hegde) "s remarks:
Corruption is widespread because people find nothing wrong in corrupt practices.Any rich person is treated as successful person.
Where this leads to?
This leads to our unambiguous definition of success. And the extremities of fallacious thinking of two poles of success and failure and nothing in between!
What determines a successful person? The milestones are money power and status.Only a system which has no values no ethics no morality can measure success in this method.
Are we worried about the means as Gandhiji lamented? The means to achieve money power and status can be anything.
These are the worldly wise and smart gogetters you find anywhere people respect and adore!
A young boy was born of lower middle class family denied of basic minimum education in a school
innocent and ignorant of cunningness and deceit still showing abilities to analyse question creative with flair for mother tongue script writing and acting was most ridiculed condemned criticised and villified
while the opposite treatment was meted out to those who exhibited those worldly qualities to achieve name and fame.
You all know that young boy who has now become old!
But that young-old boy today is the most respected and loved person among his family, friends and employees. He touches our lives everyday and leaves it better and brighter than he found it. We are in awe of his neverending generosity and large heartedness, unfailing wisdom and values, childlike wonder and amazing humor. He is what I call a truly successful man!
