Reason runs away when it is confronted by passion. Invariably. Every time. If you share even a little of the passion, that much or more reason is beyond your perception. Every emotion, be it affection between family members, patriotism or even your favoring a particular cricket team is based on this.The passion  is kept in check only by fear of hurt. Nothing else. That is the same reason why only a very very small percentage of farmers who become utterly helpless commit suicide. Millions of others overcome their misfortune one way or the other and life goes on. 'Marta kya na karta' so goes a Hindi proverb. If one does not find any other way, it does not mean he has no other way. It only means HE is neither able to find a way on his own or willing to ask for and/or seek the help of others for one reason or the other, in preference to ending his own life. True, the government should be more forthcoming to help those who cannot help themselves; but if a government which had been in power since Independence could not do much for over sixty years, should you start condemning a new government which is just feeling its way around and obstructing everything it wants to do? Think over. Your passion for one reason or the other, most probably emanating from the loss of power and perks, is coloring your views. Dispassionate thinking is a prerequisite for fair decisions.
