The most notable problem of our country that I personally feel is the emotional problems before poverty and corruption. I agree like you all that our expectations from politicians has never been fulfilled and it is going stay like this for a while unless we change our emotions.
Now at the moment there is a big business of emotions floating on Nepali society and notoriously its getting expensive. Gone are the days when you could feel happy by giving a handful of rice to the old beggars who comes to your house. Now, you have to post a DSLR photo on social media of you giving help. Isn't it getting expensive?
Now lets explore another dynamics of how our emotions works. Suppose an old was sitting outside a government office with both hands on head clearly looking disturbed . A young man approaches and asks him about his situation. The old man replies that he doesn't have any money left on him because he has to bribe the officer inside to get his work done and now he has to go home far without any money left on him. The young man gives him Rs.50 and takes a snap of the old man and leaves. Okay appreciated the young man for helping the old man. The young guy will post it immediately on social network and gets instant thanks and appreciations. The emotions is finished right there.
Now lets see what happens If the same young man tries to do things different. Lets say he appeals on social media by going live to come join him and protest against the corrupt officials who left the old man helpless. Be honest and answer it how many people will show up? Even if he appeals fellow passers by no one will join the cause instead If he tries to convince them to help money, most of them would after hearing the story.
If I dare to say Dhurmus and Suntali are more dangerous than these politicians no one would listen as people are way too much emotional. We get emotional instantly and get carried away. Dhurmus and co. have skyrocketed the help business. They don't even use their own money. Its the hard earned people's money that they are playing with. Look at their interviews and try to analyze their words, all they try is to create beautiful stories or tears and earn the praise. They are better actors offscreen than in reel.
The Kulmans and many who have built the foundation and fought aginst the odds, have sprayed hopes to millions are outcasted by some thugs who plays well with our emotions. Keep them emotions rolling on comments. Have a good night Nepal.
