Why Is Insignificance Made Significant?

Open Your Mouth with Responsibility

A few weeks ago, a popular actor of Hindi movies of India spoke something, regretting about non-selection of even a single Pakistani cricket player in the teams auctioned by a cricketing event organization of India though it's another matter that the actor had full freedom to induct Pakistani players in the team he himself owns. So, logically there was no need to open his mouth. Yet, this is an example of a compulsive talker !! But then they say everything is fair in love, war and democracy (though strictly not in the same order).

So, first the actor opened his mouth and then as a reaction, a political party opened its mouth followed by another political party etc. And then all the television channels (damn difficult to keep their count) and the entire news media opened their mouths. And all of them started speaking a lot and thereafter shouting a lot. This talking and shouting by so may mouths consumed tons of national and environmental or natural resources and tax payers' money (ultimately pocketed by these few smart businessmen- finally it's all about commerce and ruthless marketing).

This is called the art of converting insignificance into significance (and gaining lots of mileage and making easy profits).

But then this kind of indulgence is too expensive for a poor nation like India where more than 80% people live below international poverty norms.

And finally why were the multi millions of rupees (Indian currency) of tax payers' money spent in just one half day on providing a governmental security to an actor? If he is free to speak, he is free to arrange his own security too.

The corollary: the same as in the earlier blog post with this sentiment "remove the governmental security to everyone." If implemented, it might result in people opening their mouths proactively with lots of responsibility saving tons of national and natural or environmental resources of the planet earth.
