What’s their secret?

We have been plagued with frustration and bitterness for a long time. It has begun to manifest itself into our daily demeanour and has slowly broken bonds between us and our fellow men. While politicians and authorities duke it out with each other and seem to involve themselves with news concerning embarrassment and embezzlement than emboldening, we seem to have no choice but to get mad.

My thought was: What has ever come of bitterness? What great thing has ever been born from fear? We let fear move us more than love. What does that say? Who does it influence, I asked myself? And I came to the conclusion that our unchecked anger, frustration and bitterness really does mean, say and ultimately positively influence nothing. It might sell and it might profit, but how long is its shelf life? How long before it spoils everything else? To our current leaders and headliners, the spirits of this land flourish not due to fear and division. Wounds do not heal by rubbing salt on them. Who do you inspire with your picong? The rest of us all have the bond of a common goal and our future cannot be built on the misfortunes of others.

You only know you’re influential when you can get someone else to look at you and say, “Look at them. What’s their secret? I want some of what they’ve got.” Veera, Anya, Share Goodness movement and every decent countryman out there whose deeds remain unheard of amidst the din of the maddened throngs, and whose influence remains clouded and silhouetted by all the profiting negativity in this place, I ask you, “What’s your secret? We all need some of what you’ve got.”
