My buddy Imthi has written in his blog about a big mystery in human race. And he has his reasons to blame the politicians and rulers of the country. Fair enough.
But, let’s look at the schemes implemented in this mighty country of ours in purview of poverty. Female infanticide and feticide was very common in many hamlets of tamilnadu because the parents thought that they can’t afford a hefty dowry once the child grows up. And the ex CM brought in the “thottil kuzhanthai” system where parents can place the babies if they don’t want to bring them up. But this was misused like anything and babies born thru illegitimate relationships were also put into those cradles. I am quoting this only as an example and many such schemes from government side were not taken in the true sense by the public. It’s high time that we think outside the small circle of the politicians and rulers.
Having said this I am not taking the responsibility of rulers away. As he rightly pointed out, a fraction of defense budget is needed to provide clean drinking water to these deprived and destitute classes. But balancing between the needs, security and vote bank politics is a tight rope walk.
But, why kids suffer? And why almighty did this? These are questions beyond our comprehension. The word almighty itself means that he has the potential and we are just directed. But I am not trying to sound philosophical by uttering that it’s all divine play. Certainly not. The creator has just given us lot of possibility. These are opportunities which evoke the innate compassion which are dormant in you and me. These are the driving forces which gave a number of noble souls who worked for the betterment of this world. As you realize his powers and his play you realize the role you have to play in eradicating the poverty in the world.
Just imagine this. If you know what the board of directors is discussing, or what the thought process of your CEO is, then what’s the level barrier? The very fact of mystery which lies in between the slave and the master defines the magnitude of power.
Maybe, if poverty is eradicated then the population may explode to another level and the existence of the planet may be under threat. In one way or the other, I strongly believe that creator with all his boundless wisdom has got his own way of settling things. Believing that he did this out of reasons which is incomprehensible for our limited knowledge is the epitome of faith and working tirelessly towards the upliftment of those deprived classes with the comfort he has given us is the epitome of spirituality.

First of all, I should say that it's a very nice writing from you and pretty happy that you have well started with a note from my blog. Happy blogging.
Well. I should clear that the post, I have written, not to blame the politicians, but to think about the disparities in living. While doing the same, talking about the rulers act is unavoidable. Because they have major influence over every common men's life and it's indeed their duty to take care of needy acts towards the common problem. You mentioned about the misusage of 'thottil kuzhanthai' system. Well. Though I was talking about adopting, which is different, can't we find any alternative options to prevent such malicious acts in this 21st century? Crime rates are increasing day by day, but still we keep law and order system in place. Right? If the system is fine, even there is no need for balancing acts. Let that be a height of expectation, I dream for. I heard you asking me to look at the ground reality. Any possible attempts today started well with a dream yesterday.
I really liked your expressing about incomprehensible. Well said. Especially the example one, you quoted best fit. Still being a normal person, who tries to find the reason for a to z, I had flown my thoughts, as it is very close to our lives. Besides our discussions and very limited understanding of an Almighty’s desire, I couldn’t control my emotions, while coming across such incidents, which I quoted in my blog and search through cause and effect with the hope that such emotions drive us in talking and taking of efforts. I have clearly understood our responsibilities and may an Almighty force us towards the betterment of mankind.
Thanks a lot...
You re right...There must be action more than word and thats the need of the hour. No blame games. No pointing fingers. :)
