So recently, someone told me that we live like dogs.
I was quite taken aback by this statement. What did it mean?
I was also quite surprised. Surely, just because we in the Government sector don't live like multi-millionaires, does not mean that we don't have certain standards of living.
Perhaps this person has never seen the adverse conditions in which over 60% of India lives. Everyone makes do with what best they can. Even us government servants make do with what best we have. One should be grateful for all that one has and the sacrifices being made. We all do the best we can in our prevailing circumstances.
I also feel it underlines a lack of respect. For money, for time, for sacrifices, for the other person's feelings.
Overall, the level of respect for Government appears to be at an all time low I feel. It is very easy to criticize and not appreciate all that we do... I personally don't understand why I bring work home. I don't get any kind of reward for it. No one appreciates it.
Sigh...
We live like dogs but we eat like kings. That has got to go down in my history as one of the worst things I have ever heard.
