The Limiting Ingredient - Our Government

It is not possible to keep tabs on all the ingredients of our lives. There's just too many. But it is vital that we are aware of the ingredients that have gone bad. Fixing them should be our highest priority, else these become the factors that limit our ability to thrive. Here in India, I see our government as the limiting ingredient for all of us. I believe that it will be really hard for us to thrive collectively in our country unless, our governments begin to do what they have been hired for.

Consider for example, your daily commute to work: Whether you live close to or far away from work, your travel time has only gotten worse in the last 10 years. Perhaps that was expected. But, 30 minutes for a silly distance of 5 kms. Thats Insane !! And its not a peaceful 30 minutes either. Its 30 minutes of gruelling traffic and utter chaos. Its just that somehow things move and get done and we adjust to it. But, imagine the Time and Money that gets Wasted because of the pathetic infrastructure in our country. Any trip, anywhere, takes longer than it ought to. And its not just traffic or roads, we see pathetic conditions just about everywhere we look. Life was not supposed to be this hard !!

Its important that we remember that - "We hire our Governments. Our Governments are on contract to us." Hence, We are the Boss, right? Its obvious its not working that way. But it ought to. The one ingredient of our lives that perhaps affects us the most, is sadly the limiting one !! It is the limiting ingredients that will hold us back the most. This limiting ingredient is already biting into our ability to thrive. We can look away and go earn our bread and entertainment, but if we don't put a check on our government now, it will swallow all of us.
