"
Me & Mine" - says youngsters now a days. Is it true? Actually to whom we belong? Only to our family? Also to our friends? Also to our relatives? Still going a bit broadly, we belong to neighbours also.As we know, air, water, land and those available in earth, is not our personal thing. These are common things in which all are having equal authority. As the part of nature, everybody can utilize the available resources in earth. By utilizing the resources that doesn't belongs to him, then the reactions or products of the resources also belongs to nature.
As a part of a specified nation, we utilize all the facilities available in the society. Eventhough, a person is not using any facility, his or her abilities and efforts are also used in that particular facility for its well being. For example, eventhough a person haven't used flights even for a single time, his or her time, money, effort etc are used directly or indirectly for the making and well-being of aeroplanes, airport etc.
Education is a public property. Getting opportunities to get education itself is a gift. The results of education should belong to public itself. Education being the base of life, behaviour, thinking, abilities, career, money, infrastructure etc. should belong to public.
Yes, your house, car, dresses, computer, mobile, pen …all belongs to the society; everything. Your inventions, discoveries, your business etc. too belong to the society. Your actions and reactions, all belong to society and the society have the responsibility also.
If the water, food, air, education etc. that we used and uses belong to society, then we to belong to the society. We should care for others those who haven't got the opportunities to get the facilities.
