We often say we should question the authorities — for the work that isn’t done on time, or for the loopholes in our law, order, and Constitution that let everyone escape responsibility. Yet, despite all the questioning, nothing seems to change. Why?
Let’s understand this through a story.
A student begins by asking questions — genuine, curious, and full of hope — wishing others would do the same so things could move smoothly. To bring change, he joins student politics, then the youth wing of a political party. He still questions, but now his voice carries a touch of bias.
A decade later, he steps into national politics, contests elections, and wins. Now, everything was supposed to get better. Of course, change takes time — but instead of progress, everything continues as before.
The truth is, cunningness runs deep in our veins. We are quick to question others, but when our turn comes, we become part of the same system. Our priorities shift — from public welfare to personal comfort, from society to family, from questions to convenience.
And so, the cycle continues — the questions remain the same, only the people asking them change.
