Creating alert, informed and active citizens

Mr. Manas Rath’s article for our blog encourages one to pause, step back, and see the bigger picture. Have you read it yet?

If not, we invite you to read the article at https://bit.ly/ArticleByManasRath

Presenting an excerpt:

We cannot be active citizens without being active human beings — alive and awake in body, mind, intellect, and soul. Striving to do the best we can, not just for ourselves, but for everyone and everything we share this life with. Because ultimately, we are all connected. We are, in truth, One.

This deeper understanding, this revolution of consciousness, is the key to the incredible future we dream of. It follows the direction of the long arc of the universe that Martin Luther King Jr. spoke of — bending towards justice, compassion, and unity.

Active citizenship is not just a civic duty; it is an essential part of our inner and outer journey towards that future.

“Trying to fix one problem at a time without understanding the larger picture is slow and often counterproductive. Take traffic congestion as an example. The real solution does not lie in simply building more roads. Rather, it involves making public transportation more accessible, affordable, and comfortable so that fewer private vehicles crowd the streets.

At the same time, improving road quality, enforcing traffic and parking rules, and providing better driver education are equally important. By improving transportation, we can also address air and noise pollution, create greener spaces, and make cities healthier overall. Systems Thinking encourages us to view challenges through multiple lenses, pursue deep and lasting change, and discover positive synergies along the way. It is how every ACTiZEN must think.”
