RAISE YOUR HANDS, GET COUNTED, BE RESPONSIBLE.

I remember those times when we used to be on the grounds in the twilight.
After a hard game when we wanted to rest, the mosquitoes used to have a ball above our heads.
It was damn irritating. But all we needed to do was to clap above our heads. We could easily blow away couple of them.

Was is just because human is more stronger the mosquitoes ?

Read this...
You see ants. They are always in a group. No, lets not call it a group It is a parade, Isn't it?
Many times I have seen these ants carry over them, living things, much bigger than themselves, to be stored as their food.

So does being stronger always helps?

Well ... one prominent thing that we associate with ants is the discipline they obey.
Their discipline unites them and their unity is their strength.

I have been at the CST a few times. I have seen that there are metal detectors there, positioned at the entrance. There are many detectors, but, there are gaps between them.

What do we do? We take the easy way out. We don't wait until our turn to pass through them. We don't hesitate getting a bit smarter and passing through the gaps.

The reason is simple. We are sure that we are not going to do any crime. But do we know that there are people watching us? Do we know that those watching us are searching for these loop holes?

Yes, I agree that there are policemen to patrol. But how many will be needed and why, and what can they do and to what extend can they perform?

Just think of this situation....

People are religiously following security instructions without any interference on the police.
All of them are making sure that they pass through the detectors.

If there is an antibody who wants to enter such area, he has 2 ways of entering. Either through the detectors or by bypassing them. If he goes through the detectors he will get caught. If he does not go through them, he will get noticed and eventually be caught. It will be a smoother task for the police to ensure our security it will be a harder task for the antibody to breach our security.

This is something very important that we tend to forget. Our responsibility towards social security. We are free, but this does not mean that we have a right to take our freedom for granted. We must take the onus on ourselves to preserve this freedom. To preserve our freedom, we must set a few rules and obey them.

Freedom means setting our rules. Freedom does not mean breaking them.

Our security system might not be perfect. Nothing is! But by doing these small things right, we can help in making it better, stronger more efficient.

It is difficult. We have cultivated this habit of finding short cuts. But it is important to be patient. It is important to finish the process. It is difficult to resist the temptation to jump the red light when we see an empty road ahead.

But it is important to stop. It is one way of showing that we care. We care for other people, we care for the police. We care for the system.

There are many ways by which we can develop a social sense within ourselves. We need to observe, we need to be patient.

We need a change ..... Lets be the change ......
