Discipline- A necessity to revive India
June 20, 2008
“Discipline” refers to a proper training and control of mind and character. It is a necessity to conduct life in accordance with rules and regulations. It can not be obtained without voluntary obedience to some fixed codes of behavior. Discipline may put some checks on your freedom, but a person free to do his will, can create havoc in the world. It is in fact impossible to lead a civilized life, without the check of discipline.
Discipline contributes towards “work and progress” and both the terms will sound meaningless in it’s absence. People usually make the mistake of associating discipline with cut down of freedom whereas discipline is undoubtedly the foundation of all freedom. The charm and value of freedom can not be realized without the discipline.
The deteriorating standards of discipline in our daily lives have already started showing colors. It has given birth to such an immense amount of violence, criminal acts, inefficiencies and corruption. You hardly find anyone taking his or her work seriously. Whatsoever be the field, indiscipline has eaten the roots of honesty; moral values and above all social and national life. Schools and colleges, which were once known as temples of learning have converted into hot beds of indiscipline.
These days, indiscipline has completely defiled the atmosphere. Is this the atmosphere in which we want our children to grow and flourish??? There is a dire necessity to take steps and realize our responsibilities. We can at least do our share of the duty with genuine sincerity by making our life more disciplined. Basically, it has to come from within and once the importance of discipline is realized, the existing world will become more organized and peaceful. So, be a contributing hand to make India a better place to live.
