Seeing Beyond The Government

#Seeing_Beyond_the_Government Just thinking about the happenings in the country and I feel I should write about we can impacting our environment as individuals. Many times, when things are bad or wrong around us, we wait for the Government to do it for us and knowing that it might not be done in 10years (simply put we have no functioning or active Government in the country). Below are some rhetorical questions, pointing out some of the things we do as individuals which is not directly related to the Government. I have noticed people trying to take advantage of people in so many ways using the position they hold, please is that the Government? People committing various atrocities both within and outside the country. Please is that the Government too? People destroying things simply because it doesn't belong to them, is that the Government too? Various actions that destroys the ecosystem such as indiscriminate falling of trees and improper disposal of waste.please are they by the Government? People in offices and companies stealing, embezzling, not working diligently, taking advantage of the junior members of staff, please is that the Government too? Employers paying employees meager amount which doesn't commemorate with their work and expenses all because of the eagerness to get job and the rate of unemployment. Please is that the Government? Lecturers failing students and laziness or over divided attention from the lecturers thereby affecting the students they are meant to teach. Please is that the Government too? Students who cheat while in school and finally graduate without being able to defend the certificate they claim to have acquired while in school,please is that the Government too?? Taking of hard drugs and lifestyles that destroys life, future and health, please is that the Government? Health workers ( especially Nurses and Doctors) acting as gods over the patients they are being paid to take care, is that the Government too? Divorce/broken home leading to negative impact on the children, is that the Government too? Selfishness, greed, self-centerdness, indiscipline, irresponsibility, hardened heart etc, are these the Government too? Fraud, dubious act, stealing, kidnapping etc, please are they all by the Government too?? My point here is that all should so well in our own part, homes, communities, Local Governments, Schools and states and let us see the outcome. When the foundation is spoilt, what can the righteous do?? Let's start from the home, leaders are product of nature and nature, so let the good nature start from home. Expecting the Government in this country where we have no Government with good intention for the masses won't make anything better, the best thing to do as individuals is to influence our areas positively.
