"It's the government's problem! I pay taxes!"
If you're paying taxes and not getting the outcome you wanted, the solution is not to sulk at home while infra crumbles and trash piles up. People must help with whatever is within their capacity! This cynical victim mindset is the same mindset that corruption stems from. "There's no hope, I'll just take what I can from this country for myself and my family, it won't make a difference."
People forget that govt. officials were private citizens too. Everyone is cut from the same cloth.
Change starts with the people. Society must change. And that starts with the individual (you who is reading this). Government change is a reflection of society's values. Even who is available to vote for as an elected official boils down to who is available from the populace.
You can never please a bigot. They are a unique breed of low-IQ morons. Whether it is a casteist, a racist, or a sexist. Just insult them with full, heartfelt disdain and move on.
On #WorldSuicidePreventionDay, a reminder. Mental health is like physical health: it’s not always binary, sick vs healthy. It can be in between. It takes effort. If you feel unwell, reach out. If you think someone else is unwell, reach out. I love you guys. ❤️
