BLIND TRUST AND ITS PERILS..

As humans we are drawn towards social relationships. This urge to bond between people is what makes this world so complicated yet is responsible for its movement ahead. Humans are not the only organisms that show such complex bonds. There are others in the animal kingdom who show complex social behaviours. But the extreme of this interdependence is exclusive to human race which we term as blind faith.

After every night there is a day. This is an example of blind faith our ancestors had placed on nature which got ratified by modern science in later years. Sadly, humans are not that trustworthy. People change, circumstances compel them to act in ways that were not expected of them by individuals who had blindly trusted them. We are living in a highly dynamic world. Everything in this world changes including the people around us. This is the ultimate truth. It is beneficial for one to get this fact accepted. Living in denial of this fact can bring elemental damage. This denial is the cause behind increasing hatred, growing piles of cases in judicial bodies, decreasing longevity of relationships and many others.

When a person trusts an individual to the extreme that all of his/her faults seem to filter away then we can call that as blind faith. In Indian societies it is very common. People blindly trust one another because that is what our society has been like for centuries. This has also been the most prominent cause of our society being so pathetic. It is no new thing. The rapes mostly are caused by people upon whom the victim had blind trust. This blind trust is also responsible for so many crimes going unreported.

In all its sense, blind faith in someone can put you in grave peril. This is not only confined to social crimes but also economic crimes. The cases of corruption go unnoticed because the authorities have blind faith on their employees. In India we see this to its extreme. Here people try to sort out the crime internally because in most cases reporting such crimes can put their reputation at peril not to forget the chances of them getting involved and convicted. 

We have put corruption in a narrow crime bracket of accepting and giving bribes. In reality corruption is like an Octopus with tentacles in each sector. Blind trust of people feeds this Octopus and its hold grows stronger. From the education sector to governance, nothing has been left out. We are advised to become more and more conscious by elders not only to help us take informed decisions but also to avoid placing our trust on bad individuals blindly.

There are bad people and there are very bad people. We are surrounded by dark sided individuals who show off their bright side. It is upon us to avoid the tinted glasses of their false personality and seek the truth behind the face. No one is more foolish in this world than those who keep such dark sided individuals in their life and place blind trust in them knowing the person is not worthy of their trust. The culture of burying the crimes is plaguing our society. A society whose learned individuals keep to themselves even after coming across crimes is destined for decay. Sadly we are proudly topping that list. Power is mostly placed in such dark people by the public with tinted glasses of blind trust and hence the loop sided development . This must stop if we are to save our very existence. No one but us can stop it and the first step is to kill the instinct of BLIND TRUST completely.

IDEAL EDUCATION..

Education today is a requirement. Quality education is becoming rare day by day. The main cause for this can be the definition of education itself. The scenario around education is very dynamic. The skill requirement is changing everyday. But the skilling process is not coping up well with the changing market demand. This creates a void in the market. Jobs are getting scarce because the jobs today demand different skills which is not available in the youth who aspire jobs. These problems are prominent but they can be well contained. The odds can be turned in favour. But there are some problems which are making the entire system hollow from the inside. These are the problems of corruption and  favouritism in the sphere of education.

This is nothing new. The puranas and the ancient hindu texts have a lot of such examples. The example of mahabharat can be sighted as an example. Dronacharya promised that he would make Arjuna the greatest archer living. To keep his promise he demanded the thumb of Eklavya as guru dakshina. He knew that Eklavya was better than Arjuna. But still he went ahead with this. This was not what we call ideal educational behaviour of a teacher. Thus even the ancient gurukuls and their gurus were not free from corruption and favouritism.

These phenomenons are found is a much magnified form in today's educational institutions. The teachers have gone ahead miles to prove their power. This powerlust is responsible for educational downfall in educational institutions in general and institutions of India in particular. There is not a lack of talent in the teachers rather they have lost their morals completely. The morals and moral education have high regard in Indian society and homes. But sadly that same moral ideology is absent in its educational institutions.

Education is the exchange of knowledge. But when such exchange involves the three major downsizing feelings, the exchange becomes corrupted. The three feelings talked about here are fear, anger and jealousy. They can ruin the lives and in this case two lives. The teachers today favour students and go in deep to provide them with ill favours. This not only destroys the talent aspect of the student who gets favour , but also is affects the one who is being treated in a wrong way.

This is rampant in the educational institutions of today. Every student has either faced it or has witnessed it being happening. This is the new reality. With such kind of practises present how can we expect our educational institutions to grow and cope up with modern demands. The teachers who do such kind of works are to blame but the teachers who see such things happening and still do not take any steps are equally responsible because they are the ones who can curb this problem. The students who take such favours are destroying their own life. They are treating their talents in an inferior way and are loosing the chances of prospering.

This is a prominent problem. The solution should be prominent and lasting as well. The thing now is who should bring the change. The teachers? The higher authorities? The government? The answer is still unknown. Morality is rare now a days. This rarity is getting worse due to this circumstances. They need to change. They should change for better.
