KG FOUNDER'S INTERVIEW

5/6/2012

1 Comment

 
Summary: We have to learn to care.  We don't know how to do that well enough, and that is the root of our collective non-performance.
May 27 2012: from Umanga's Blog
​

" Today the Prime Minister said to the media that what politicians say to the public, for public consumption, is not relevant. 
And he is right.  
The politicians can say one thing to us and do just the opposite.  There is no consequence.  We the people do not know how to care enough that we gain politicians' respect, their accountability.
Next election, I will care to remember this.  I will care enough to vote for those politicians who think the public matters, that what they say to the public matters. In fact, I will vote to emphasize that 'what politicians say to the public is the ONLY thing that matters'. 
"
Salient Points:
  1. Nepalis have integrated 'Live and Let Live' attitude in their lives, thanks to 3000 years of being a cultural melting pot.
  2. This attitude has risks and promise. .  
  3. This promise of co-existence that can inspire the world, make Nepal the retirement-destination-of choice for people around the world (not just to Nepalis living abroad).
  4. The risk is that we become too selfish (of 'minding one's own business') and fatalistic (lack of self-criticism). In the last 2 decades, politics have over-run all non-political institution, like social, religion and cultural.  We the common people stayed quiet 'minding our own business', listening only to political advisers and international well-wishers with total 'lack of self-criticism'. 
  5. Now, politicians are over-running the sanctity of our personal life (by stirring suspicion against one another, among neighbors who have lived in peace for centuries).  And we want to respond to that, but we do not know 'HOW'. 
  6. We keep blaming the politicians, their dirty tactics and power-negotiations, and we keep hoping some political savior will save us.  We keep looking for political heros (because we are used to be governed by kings, feudal ones or political ones). 
  7. Instead, can we can begin by learning to care for others, and hence, become caring individuals? Perhaps, if we become better individuals, we would be able to govern ourselves better, with or without the politicians' cooperation.
