Corruption Is Allowed Only

 

It is second day of  temperature  dropping from 50 centigrade to 40 . Sorry for my ignorance as i don't know the reason behind this kindness though no news of rain around here  except in northern  areas including my home town.All i know that i am feeling less sick and dizzy and breathing is not a task.Let's see how long this miracle lasts .

I want to thank all of you for kind and sweet comments on my previous post.Some of you wondered about how people get away with electricity bill theft. I wanted to share what i know about it through the study of real life and magazines ,newspapers etc.

My country Pakistan is an under developing country.As little girl when i would read about how Mr Jinnah struggled to gain freedom for the Muslims of subcontinent it would make me emotional enough to fall tears on my book  .I had fallen in love with My country and Mr Jinnah since then.This was extraordinary learning had impact my childhood.Sense of having someone who got us piece of land where we can live peacefully became larger than life for me for few years.When i would come back from school i would read particular lesson to my parents.My mother specially had strong emotions about all this just like me. Mom was never in school but i don't know how she was aware of everything about countries ,politics and many other things. Father was quite well read and mostly sink in pile of newspaper and magazines he would bring along.I often heard talking both my parents  about sports ,players , movies ,actors ,politics and politicians. My father had different opinion for separation of India and Pakistan though then i could not comprehend the complicated theory behind it. 

My mom would encourage and support  us on Independence day to celebrate it with all patriotic enthusiasm .We would  decorate whole house with rows of small flags .She would sew us huge flag which we will fix on roof top to  hang there for few days sublimely.We would wake up early in the morning on independence day to say prayer for the safety and prosperity of our beloved country.Mom ,me and my younger sister would wait for national anthem on radio and once it would start we would stand and sing along.Three of us would wear white dress and green scarves .Afterwards we would eat Halwa a sweet dish together to inhance the joy of this special day.Radio will cast national songs all day and we would not tire to listen them.In the Evening  we would lit so many candles on the edge of our roof  and in the front yard.That would present spell casting view.

Those were days of innocence .Ignorance in some of it's aspects in early age specially is most magical and beautiful freedom though we learn this far later in life. Time is  meant to pass and it kept passing .I grew young and then reached in my early thirties.Cable t.v came here and we were able to see so many other channels .In various talk or historic shows cleared some fog from eyes .One thing that hit my mind most was that it is not simple to judge some events or people by reading or hearing from one sided story.Sometime simple facts layer upon the complicated situation. In simple words to discover reality one has to read whole book and not decide by looking at cover only.

Whatever made my country Pakistan happen  it did not weaken my love for my homeland .May be we born with patriotic love in our blood. Though i was not keen reader or digger of  harsh heavy stuff  like my father but there was little curiosity provoking me to keep this kind of learning on one side .So i remained aware what was going on the map little bit though. What i knew was not different than any other part of land but still heart broken.

I think there is hardly any country who can claim it is hundred percent corruption free.people run countries .Specially people who like to have control on things ,on others and specially on national treasure. In my opinion people with half criminal mind do other horrible crimes but people with perfect criminal mind choose to be a politician.Some inherit it .Some do long journey to reach it.Both know how to play with people's mind and emotions.They spend millions to get select because they know they will recover  hundred  percent of it within a year only .

Every country has good and bad people but you will see hardly any good in game of politics if there are few it is like needle in hay stake. My country too  has so many good people but no one is allowed to step in the government making because this procedure is not about making but robbing the treasure only.Each politician want entry card to have right of hold on it.

Difference between politicians of both developed and under developing is little i think . Former have large bite so when they leave remaining part to spend on the people of country it seems huge. Later one has small bite so when they eat up most of it ,the remaining part is almost nothing to come into notice.So when we listen budget speech and the huge amount of money issue for different projects we know it will make difference only for who will transfer this money in his account and next few generations will no need to do anything except spending it.

Politicians no matter how dirty they can be are called head of the house .When head of the house is corrupt all bureaucracy is corrupt automatically.No man of honor or man of character (honest person) can enter in this swamp .if he does two things happen ,one he gets dirty too willingly or inevitably ,second he is proved corrupt and expelled or punished. This fear made me stop my husband to take job in police.I am good speaker and daring.I was advised many times that i can be good lawyer but i know as woman and than as human what happened to those who tried to fight for truth.

I think you got what i am trying to point out here .Yes this is how people get away with electricity bill theft because technicians are involved in all this and authorities above them know everything but keep silence which has price of course.

As a citizen i love my homeland  though with age and with learning this turned to a wider canvas .May be this sense of " oneness "  i brought in my genes .My love for everything living ,non living has strengthened with learning i continued slowly in my life including blogging through which i knew so many amazing people who inspired me for betterment of mind and soul gradually. 

This learning have broadened my horizons and understanding of life.Now this glob is my village and all inhabitants are my fellow!

I wish and i hope that day will come when people who will go through special studies and test of transparency will be selected to run government chores .And hope they will serve country and people instead of themselves only.

Hope i did not bore you with my ideological thing . I believe that good people are far more than bad but bad are in power and to consist and regulate it they support each other .The day when good people learn to be unite and supportive  an other reformation won't be impossible !

  2. Seems, corruption is like malignant cancer. it is hard to get rid of. even more when they support each other, and then they make rules or laws to their benefits.

    Have a great day!

  5. I was old enough to be around when India and Pakistan were formed. There was a great deal of discussion. Unfortunately colonialism left too many problems on the Indian continent.

  9. There is much truth in what you have written here, Baili. Like yourself, I too believe that there are so many good people in countries worldwide, but unfortunately many of them are not the same that are in power. The situation you described about how people can get away with stealing electricity because of corrupt officials willing to "look the other way" is not unusual. We must all try to hold ourselves to a higher level of integrity even if others do not. It's a personal decision in my opinion and I know it's one you fully embrace, my blogger friend. (Also, just read your comment on Laurie's recent post and it was heartfelt and beautiful.)

    1. i suffered with grief for inequality and injustice in world for many years of my life dear Betty ,but when i encountered with actual people and learnt their miseries during various jobs i saw no matter how hard their life was they have not loose hope and this kept them fighting with circumstances in which they were,
      my learning practical and spiritual grew gradually and transmitted myself in calmer mental state .i am irritatingly honest and i never had to make effort for this. i remember my first picnic with school friends when i kept wrapper and waste inside my bag i was feeling so embarrassed because everyone around was making fun of me and few who were not gave me critical look. hubby too laughs and says there is no bin around and everywhere is trash so your little thing won't make difference .but there is something inside me holding tight ,making me belief it does make difference if not for others but for me at least

  10. I watched a beautiful film about the Partition/making of Pakistan, such a sad thing that so many families had to choose which 'side' they would live. Sadly human nature is weak and no matter what country you live in there will always be those tempted to take more than is theirs - when I was young and renting, other people in our flats used tin foil to tamper with the electric meter so they got free electric (I didn't). The narrow path is always harder than the wide one but it's the one to our God.

  11. partition was one of the most horrible thing to hear and read about when i was in school ,those terrible stories kept me awake and trembled in nights ,today we say that loss of those lives was price for freedom but it is not true ,it was not essential part of partition because partition was pre planned and not a revolution at all.the horror of bloodshed was applied forcefully to gain personal advantages though this time canvas was wider for political horror show .
    i think hard times when we feel compel to do wrong are best time to say no to this desire and wait for His justice ,i can't say about others but i witnessed that Creator makes miracle happen according to how strongly we fight our ugly desires

  12. We have corrupt people in Canada too. We need to be vigilant and even then, we can be taken by thieves.

    I hope the temperature stays lower, Baili.

  13. i believe that thieves continue to rob because people they rob don't have that level of trust and reliability for each other ,thieves know they are bad and they can trust on people only who share their interest and advantage and are bad on same level

    problem of good people is that they though have faith in God but forgot that God works through men and they should also be unite like evil ones so can protect themselves from thieves
    last night winds started to blow dear Marie and today is better by the grace of Lord!

  14. Thank you very much for this thoughtful (and truthful)post.
    I believe that I cannot change anyone else's behaviour, but I can change mine. And that I have an obligation to try and be honest and kind. Some day the world will be honest and kind - one step and one person at a time.

    1. feeling need for necessities is natural thing dear Martha and it can be fulfilled with present resources and energy and environment given to us as individuals but when this need grows larger than ourselves we are so compelled to cross our limits ,we enter into forbidden zones of "others rights and respects" and exploit them just to feed our out of control lust ,so true unless we learn to tame it we are monsters for weak one

  19. Infelizmente... o poder, associado a cargos governamentais, sempre andará a par de muita corrupção... a falta de valores morais e éticos, é algo que é intrínseco ao ser humano... independentemente do país, classe social, cargo que desempenhe, formação escolar...
    Banqueiros... políticos... grandes empresários... grandes dirigentes de clubes de futebol... por cá, por exemplo, muitos andam sob a alçada da justiça, por suspeitas de corrupção... como em muitos outros países...
    Olhamos para eles... passaram pelas melhores escolas... tiveram o melhor que a vida lhes ofereceu, muitos deles... e mesmo assim... o poder que têm, parece que nunca lhes chega...
    A corrupção, é a corrosão da sociedade... porque espelha a falta de moral e ética... mas tal... sempre esteve inerente à formação das próprias sociedades humanas... desde o seu começo... a base de tudo, está na formação do ser humano... e no entanto, dois irmãos, criados na mesma casa, com as mesmas condições, e passando pelas mesmas circunstâncias, podem ser tão diferentes... a bondade e a maldade, nascem com cada pessoa... muitas vezes, as circunstâncias, ainda apuram mais, tais qualidades... de facto, deveria haver um teste de transparência, para cargos importantes... pois quem tantas vezes chega mais alto... nem sempre terá chegado, pelo seu mérito próprio, apenas...
    Mais uma publicação bem interessante, por aqui, Baili! Sempre um prazer imenso, seguir a sua linha de pensamento... que denota uma grande abertura, sabedoria, compreensão e condescendência para o mundo... e nada é mais difícil do que tentarmos olhar o mundo através de outras perspetivas... diferentes, mais abrangentes... mas que vão completando o nosso olhar inicial, sobre o que quer que seja...
    Um beijinho!
    Ana

  20. Well said, Baili! Corruption exists everywhere, because there are power-seeking and greedy people everywhere. But I believe there are many more decent people than corrupt around the world. That's what gives me hope! Hugs to you my friend!
