I prefer freedom, prosperity in that order
by Sharad on Apr 06, 2008 03:02 AM   Permalink

I will not trade my freedom for prosperity. If people have experienced freedom, they will not trade it for wealth. We, of course, need the basic comfort in life. India's inability to do things well is not due to its freedom. It is because there is a general lack of discipline and order in people. Indians love to be chaotic. They are OK with indiscipline. Keeping things clean, not spitting in public, not trashing the surroundings, not getting agitated if people disturb order and peace, violating rules without batting an eyelid - these reveal a disorder in the way of thinking, Basically, we lack CIVIC SENSE and ORDERLY BEHAVIOUR. Even if we have the utmost intelligence, this is how we will do things.
