irony

...How can we possibly move on and grow as a nation, when we ourselves are hindering the very growth of our own country...

...It’s an irony in its simplest sense: People keep on questioning their intentions at the same time keep on blustering how impotent they are at their jobs...

...Think about it, if these people who are questioned with anomaly are called to be investigated have clean conscience and has nothing to hide, a little examination and inquiry won’t hurt right? 




          Over the years, we find ourselves questioning our nation’s progress; asking ourselves if we did the right thing in designating these people in their positions. We scrutinize them 24/7 for the main reason that they serve as the bridge of our country’s progress; our voice over the hundred thousand nations around the world; our shining embodiment of hope for the nation’s growth. Is it wrong? Definitely not. What is worse than an apathetic citizen of its own country, who goes on with his daily life without a trace of concern of its occurrences? Don’t get me wrong, we all do have a say of what is happening and how things are taking place in our very land. This is no one-man country you know. We are characterized as a nation having “free and equal participation”. But I believe there is a huge difference in “taking part” and being sympathetic over crucial matters that concerns the nation and being nosey and giving unconstructive comments.

How can we possibly move on and grow as a nation, when we ourselves are hindering the very growth of our own country. We have never or I would say, barely given these officials and departments a chance to do its job without criticizing their intentions. Perhaps, the rifts between political parties play a significant role in how we deal with these matters. But then again, these differences over political views will never head off; they were here as far as history could narrate us, bleak as the truth is, it will here to stay, whether we like it or not. How can we possibly develop if we give full concentration to these political disputes? Without a doubt, I believe, that this is the core of the troubling minds we have over things that should concern us. We will never move on. Sad but true. Indeed, there’s nothing wrong in taking part and questioning the process and intentions, that’s what good citizens of a country are expected to do. We all do have our own opinions and we are entitled to them. But If this is how we conduct ourselves in every actions the government is partaking, we will never go far as a nation. It’s an irony in its simplest sense: People keep on questioning their intentions at the same time keep on blustering how impotent they are at their jobs. 

No one can ever please everybody. It is just an impossible task for anyone to achieve. So how do we deal with this mayhem? Probably, let’s begin at the simplest thing there is that we can have direct access to -- ourselves. Let’s be open-minded over things and give these people a chance to perform what is jotted down in their job descriptions. Should we just hand them everything and not take part? No. I’m not saying to be all indifferent about it. An open-eye is still essential. Why don't we give these officers a chance to do what they’re ought to do. Setting aside what political party they belong to. Think about it, if these people who are questioned with anomaly are called to be investigated have clean conscience and has nothing to hide, a little examination and inquiry won’t hurt right?
