Respect is something that human beings invariably yearn for. You give respect to get respect. It is as simple as that. Here, I am not talking about only respect. So, let’s begin after a short commercial break. (LOL)
We are developing a bad culture of eulogizing our leaders. For example when a leader comes to his electoral area, then the party cadres welcome them in a grandiosity of highly decorated stage and heavyweight garlands. Political stalwarts and public too should give respect to the leaders, not worship them like a god. We are praising them than they deserve and they do nothing in return to the community. We should focus on the system, not on an individual. We should prioritize the institution and not the institutional head in our formal programs. Hence, as a commoner, we ourselves are making our leaders' habit worse. When we immensely idolize a normal leader, he will expect similar behavior from the people of other places too. We should make them devoted to the result-oriented works and we should adore their deeds.
We cannot adore a person; we should start to adore their good works. All Nepali politicos seek a godly treatment from the public; and the party activists wallow on such unworthy commendations.
Here are some examples. In these pictures, our respected political leaders are proud that they are appreciated by the public with such pleasure. Seemingly, there appears to be the latent competition on who gets more weight of garland flowers. We cannot adore a person; we should start to adore their good works. All Nepali politicos seek a godly treatment from the public, and the party activists wallow on such unworthy commendations. A true follower should warn, constantly criticize and try to improve his/her leader. But unfortunately, the garland culture has engulfed us and made us the blind supporters of the leaders.
Just imagine. How many people might have been engaged to arrange garland of such kind? These pictures are just some examples of how we are busy making our leaders happy. We don't need their input or visionary standing-- We just need to make sure if they are happy. And we are happy when they are happy; which implicitly means we are not going to break the culture.
