I liked to look at the spiritual aspect
of it....
Tough decisions going to be taken, for
the growth of the economy, needs an emotionally strong nation, an
emotionally stable society, which can sustain cheerfully austere
measures, with a deep trust in the administration! They are
'obliged' to trust the administration, simply because they have
elected it!
From this view point, I was listening
to the debate between the two candidates for presidentship of the
most powerful democracy of the world, USA!
I was impressed by the ability of the
speakers as well as the audience to stay riveted on the finer details
of the economy! Something that cannot happen for years in India,
given the level of awareness we have about economic figures, and the
'head' for it!
And yet, I found that......
Emotional stability is not a subject,
or a priority as important as economy! (They have every fourth doctor
making money.... and a sizeable amount of it..... as a
psychiatrist!)
If the most powerful nation does not
find 'space' for discussing how the human qualities is going to
evolve/grow during the electoral term of the competing candidates,
how are they going to 'enjoy' the benefits of the material growth
that they might reap out of prudent policies (giving the benefit of
doubt that things do work!)...
Something that we have got for
free..... here.... by sheer reason of being born on this soil! But
yes, grossly under-utilized as yet, more so, over the recent
decades(an entirely different matter!)!
We have a spiritual forum here, which
actively discusses the potential of human-spirit, on an on-going
basis, and here we have representatives from almost all walks of
life!
Good going!
