Rights Vs Responsibility

In our society, everyone talks about Rights & Authorities and even try to grab it all claiming it being given to them by the Constitution of India. You might have found many driving wrong side, they feel this Road belongs to them as they are part of the Independent nation and so it is their right to drive. Many of us often seen using public facilities without caring, sometimes trying without paying appropriate applicable fee. Is this all because it’s our right to use all such facilities but what about if their right is causing trouble to others and you are suppressing the rights of others? While talking about ‘Your Rights’, have you ever thought about ‘Your Social Responsibilities’?

To express my true feelings, I have written a 4 liner Hindi Poetry which I am Quoting here:

कोई कांटे सहकर सींचता है कोई दिन रात जागता है|
खिलती है कली जब, हर आदमी गुलाब मांगता है|
मौलिक अधिकारों की दुहाई देकर, गुलाब मांगने वालों,
संविधान को हमने क्या दिया वो हमारे कर्मो का हिसाब मांगता है ||

It’s just a thought to start a debate inside your conscious mind letting it focus on your recent actions pertaining to your Rights Vs. Responsibility. We demanded everything from Constitution, Government, and Society and even from our family. The thought is to find out the acts and the things we did to return back to fulfill our social responsibility and what we actually have contributed towards building a developed society.

Social responsibility is our moral obligation towards our constitution. It shall always find higher place than rights and shall have no space for personal ego. I shall quote a famous line by “WINSTON CHURCHILL” here that:

We make a LIVING by what we GET.
But, we make a LIFE by what we GIVE!
