Character like Gandhi is desperately needed today

We do celebrate Gandhi Jayanti on every 2nd October but we hardly follow his ideology in our life. For generation X it might be an outdated concept in this materialistic world but if we deeply give his words a thought we will certainly realize that the character like him is the need of the hour. Today we want to be financial successful at any cost. Every thing in life has become a commodity be it education our marriage and even happiness within our lives we can't do without money. It is the only motivating factor in our life. Apart from this if we get time we think of our family, friends and then society. We have become so self centric that expecting good from anyone is rare. Character and morality has no meanings in our daily life and even school seems to be less bother about these things. They are not interested in inculcating these things in young minds. No doubt we are so indifferent towards each other. Does the society should wait and think where this cat race is going to take us? It is making us an individual without values. Not very far away in Indian history there was a person whom we today remember as Mahatma Gandhi the father of our nation. He taught us about the simplicity and ideology which suits an Indian. Can we afford to show the wealth for shallow status when more than 60% of our population earns Rs.20 per day which can hardly be the cost of one square meal. We have to think again before indulging into the collection of materialistic war as the only thing in life even if it comes through unfair means. Our Politician should also take a lesson from him that only post and position is not mandatory for serving the people but how many of them are here to serve masses? They are into the bull fight just to become a bully. The politics today seems to have no ideology they divide us on religion, caste, land and language just for their selfish goals. They should take rest and give thoughts to their action. Dear Bapu we miss you so much today that you can only inspire them and teach them what humanity is and how to serve human.

In this dot com era , there is an advanced type of peer pressure on the school students . In this busy routine of ours, we , students are not able to what our society demands or what our parents demands from us. Even contributing hours of time to physics ,chemistry and maths , still we can not secure our positions in exams , not even we are trustworthy or confident that we are going the right way ,from where we can be at decision making positions.

In our efforts of passing the examination and getting good marks we loose many things which are important for our lives and development.
