Today, I see NGOs all around India, but there is a tendency of being satisfied with being on a path of service. They don't scale themselves up. They do small small events of thanksgiving and all that, do merrymaking, organize a ceremony,give some quotes and that's it. I am sorry to say that NGOs have become complacent in India.
If you enjoy doing service, or enjoy painting, that means you have some raw material with you. But if you get satisfied with making just Rs10 doll with it, then it will only serve that much. It won't touch lives further. You need to create 1 million masterpiece with that hammer. That is how you must strife toward's doing something.
I always have passion for sharing and including someone in my crazyland, so I enjoy creating some Youtube videos of topics of mathematical base.That's a lovely way of expressing. Normally people in vacation, enjoy doing what they care for, but they become lazy in it. But you must make that passion to next level by planning it, deliberately leaving some open ends, but being on and on 12-15 hours on that project. You will become so involved in the process, even though it is goodwill.
I guess if you are misguided on wrong path, you are much more involved than if you are on right path enjoying it. This is one difference you must make. Why can't you make some worthwhile stuff with some goodwill or attitude of service, involving process?
Even Goodwill is so badly misinterpreted by NGO's. They show some poor girl's photo with small nozy and hairs hayway, and they do emotional blackmail. Even when I was in college, I did that as a shortcut for larger support. But things changed as I understood well, how when you are left have no clarity, no action plan, no deeper understanding to share about situation, you use this last resort of weak man. That is such inappropriate way , for asking donation for good cause. It must not either bounce to another extreme, because human touch is also quite essential, but not in such desperate or compulsive ways rather a clearly charted and compassionate way. For emergency, it may be serve need of the day, well , but not when we can plan things well, and work out effectively.
A good cause must be presented in a sensible, clear manner. We need to shed our focus on growth and planning of wiping out such situation, such meticulous plan that people stand for you in awe and inspired with shining eyes that yes, the grim situations can change. But we make grimness and sympathy, crying and weeping again and again our way of life. It is seriously quite depressing. Our short-sightedness is clearly exposed and that's why right work doesn't scale itself up.
I think, poverty is an issue, in next generation, but sustainability is going to be the most important factor. This system has got so big, so complex, and so vulnerable. Time is not too far, devastating technology will be accessible to a punk, and can empower irresponsible people too to just blow of the whole city. We need some serious thinking on every level, how such kind of research remains very confidential and politians are especially banned from it, because when war strikes, and when our blood boils and we may use most constructive technology for the worst forms of destruction. This is one suggestions, I wish some more ideas and ways of prevention and restriction of its outreach needs to be thought of.
A human being is so foolish, that he doesn't understand how wonderfully cycles of rain and seasons run, how ecosystem keeps wheel going, and they think, they can find all substitute for nature. But I hope someday they realize the immensity of programming, the complexity and yet the harmonious nature of the interactions of everything around.
We clearly need to shift ambitions of external nature, to a more sustainable more internal nature. For example if every Indian start's living luxuriously, then no trees on earth, no resources, nothing left. We need to make our dream, ambitions inward, such as creative pursuits like singing,painting, teaching,etc and that too with some amount of concreteness. We need to create a sustainable model of society. We need not be like a heard of sheeps tamed by marketing industries, which anyways mostly thinks in very short sighted way or family catering of age old dreams of big house and all that. You need to have brain of your own.
The earlier we realize, the better.
