Yay!!!!! The Americans did it again!!!! The US Navy Seals boldly conducted a 40 min operation and managed to make this world a safer (by a miniscule quantity) place. They not only conducted the operation on foreign land but also managed to carry it out with minimum fuss.
The scenes that followed were very touching. Citizens of US gathered on the streets near the White House and the "Ground Zero", all of them chanting "USA, USA." Very happy and enthusiastic indeed.
But the thought that crossed my mind after watching this was a little different. The question which flashed in my mind was "How many days will this enthusiasm last?"
We humans just need a reason to unleash that force inside us from time to time. Now recently we had this whole nation wide revolt against the Lokpal bill with people from across the nation coming together to show their support to Anna Hazare. People showed a lot of eagerness and enthusiasm in supporting such noble cause. They participate for a day or two and then get back to their regular life.
But the question which I want to ask is "After getting back to their normal, how many of those people will resist giving bribes?" If a certain officer asks for bribe to complete their work, will they comply? Or wont they?
The question in not only about this particular incidence. These things happen all the time, some or the other person ignites a spark and just when you start to think that this spark will give rise to a revolutionary fire, it sadly dies out.
The Root Cause of all problems in the society are the people living in it. Our enthusiasm and dedication towards such problems is too short lived to bring about any kind of change.

So tru.. people dont stick by their words.. They just follow a revolution cause every1 else is following n as time goes by its gone.. if the feelings were deep and not just superficial,it would have continued in everyday life also...
