“Being human is not about living a worldly desire or making steadfast money in a short span of time"
Lately, We have been witnessing some of the Unappreciated Acts which are commonly trending in our Naga society. We failed to counter with our conscience because these have become a common routine for all. Mostly, we talked about rampant corruption and dirty politics neglecting some of the unethical practices which is commonly happening and hampering the progress of our Naga society.
To blindly accuse someone is not appropriate without understanding the ground reality. Talking bullshit and countering one another doesn't prove anything because in the end of the day people comes to know what is right and wrong or lay astray by those arrogant information. Don't we come across some people in social and print media who are branded with the tag of 'never back down attitude', who always considered themselves right, and defend their piece of thoughts not leaving space for correction.
Being optimistic is a hard thing to follow as the stink of Corruption enroot our society. Speaking frankly, Corruption isn't only about Unabated taxation by Undergrounds or by Government Officials in the line of duty; it has something more to do with daily public affairs. In Business sector some of our people have become so engrossed in profit making that they leave no space for public consideration/welfare. We are made to avail the service not by Choice but situation compels. In this age of digitalisation Internet has become a common routine for Online transactions, printings & payments. Taking advantages of this some Entrepreneur started doing bad Business by charging the customers the double amount as compared to other towns and cities outside our state perimeter.
The grievance of monsoon season have so much to offer on the problematic side when it comes to Commuters. With the deplorable condition of roads the taxi walas starts to amass an extra amount without giving a second thought on the 365 days of the year which they genuinely depend on the common travellers for their livelihood. This is not Opportunity but an act of pure greed which leaves no room for Common sense. One humorous fact is that some taxi driver even charge extra amount for night trip, traffic jam and road diversion.
One interesting fact which you can start your day in a gloomy mood is to purchase a kilo of meat in the market. The butcher would surely add an extra piece of meat or sometime some unwanted piece after the usual weigh making you a fool like person. This has become a usual routine for us that we don't pay heed to weigh tampering anymore.
Earlier our state stood by the principles of Christainhood. Nowadays, the tag of 'Nagaland for Christ' has become a mockery to many people. We have been witnessing different interpretation of gospel. Preachers defying Christain principles and chasing for worldly desires. Instead of soul saving some have become money monger. The theological works itself depicts the source of employment leaving beside their dutiful nature. This have given rise to many atheist in our society.
Our naiveté can be seen when we talked only about problems instead of solution. We tend to live by the principle of: "If it is not my problem than it is not my concern". This has given rise to many Organisations in our Land because no one is concern for the welfare of a particular citizen. No sooner it gives birth to a new Organisation with the voice: 'If it is not us who will fight for our right'. This trend gave rise to our land with the new slogan "Land of Organisations". And the best part is that we don't want to listen to others because we are the right One's.
Let us be wise enough to take into account of the things that is happening in our Land before it Overshadows our society. There are many Unappreciated Acts to highlight but let me leave space for other writers.
