Definition 1:A responsible citizen is one who comments on (pseudo?)philanthropic blogs, has a set of ideals that he doesnt have the courage to live up to and doesnt have the heart to give up, talks of improbable ideals, at best comes up with an intention towards betterment of society, and places himself on a moral high over others for just his intentions, instead of feeling ashamed that his intentions are, at best, a feeble attempt and a mistaken substitute for concrete action, which he inturn justifies saying "atleast i have an intention, and you dont", each layer of specious justification feeding upon itself until it reaches a stage in which he begins to believe in his own moral authority over others.
In short, a responsible citizen is a hypocrat, guilty of not contributing to the society that he so ardently claims to make better.
I find it easier and better to accept my inability and unwillingness to give back something to the society, instead of deluding myself that i might contribute someday.
this ranting is the result of this conversation, and the subsequent comments.
Dont mistake me here - i am not against ppl who serve the society. in fact, ive had the opportunity to come into contact with a few ppl who i literally worship, in a couple of aspects, for their selfless contributon to SPIC MACAY - ruchira, janaki, sukhdeep, et al. And these ppl dont talk, they perform.
ps: sanjeeth, this is not directed towards you, but towards a fellow mind that claims it is beautiful.
pss: i dont have anything against this person. its his views that i despise.

I am dissapointed.
Dissapointed that this post gives the impression there is someone in your view called the responsible citizen, and that there is something called good and bad.
I expect better(Oh yeah, BETTER - cause am allowed the luxury of perspective ;) )from ya.....
And those people is SPIC macay are no better than the moron in Sanjeeth's blog.....just that their level of assumption of intellect has varied.....
of course moron, i have the right to define things my way.
and dont be fooled by what the page says. ,my veneration of certain people doesnt stem out of their association with any organisation. its to do with the people as such.
i am sure u'll agree.
and basically, i dont care two roubles for what you expect out of me.
No I don't care two pesos.....
and veneration is a bad word.....
rouble has lesser value than peso :p
