Can Status Quo ever be the other name for God?
I ask that, as most seem to be following that & with great faith.
The inherited customs, conventions, protocols, and policies go on & on.
Status Quo is actually the other name for Devil.
Decision-making builds character.
Good decisions, good character. Big decisions, big character.
There is God in great character & thus so rare.
The capacity to take decisions is now almost lost in our modern world.
Individuals have been replaced with committees for check & balances. In the bargain, what we have achieved is the opposite of the intent. We wanted less of wrong decisions, instead, what we have is - more of no decisions.
The Brexit referendum waz an outcome of just that, where the learned British parliamentarians left the all-important decision on the ignorant guy on the street.
It seems to me that at the very kernel of all decision making, there is either greed or fear or indifference but seldom any courage of conviction.
Decision-making, esp. for public good is complex & thus esoteric in nature.
One cannot hope to resolve it with a committee.
Ah committee !
Committee is a "group of people who individually cannot do much, however, collectively decide, that nothing can be done !"
All big public decisions are not only open to be challenged today but are precedence setting & likely to become future citations and reference points.
So, even when problems are born today, their proposed solutions could have far-reaching consequences in the future.
Thiz requires that such problem solving decisions be taken by the visionary, who are willing to let go the immediate personal gain for future security of the many.
It requires for people in high position to be wise, brave & take risks.
Who that person is, cannot be decided by democracy.
Enter Narendra Damodardas Modi !
As a student of leaders, the 'DeMo by NaMo' is worthy of affectionate praise. Hiz capacity to take a solo decision, as huge as that & talking directly to the citizens of India via TV during prime time, shows us how tall a leader he is.
If he had set up a committee, notwithstanding the secrecy issue, the pygmies would have told him all the reasons on why it can't be done. That done, he would be almost bound by their advice & the decision to DeMo would have demised.
For decision, one needs - intent, idea, & implementation.
Nobody can cast a doubt on the giant's intent.
The idea of demonetization is not hiz, waz in discussions for the last few decades, but none before him had the guts.
Implementation can be discussed & debated till the cows come home, but the flaws if any, seem small compared to the colossal decision the Modi-man haz taken for a better India.
Bolo Bharat Mata Ki ..... Jai Okay Please 🙌🏼🇮🇳
