An ideal society is a myth!

To be an ideal guest, stay at home
E.W. Howe

The other day I was in my school reviewing the quarterly performance. The teachers were blaming the parents and the students for non performance.
I went to a hospital. The patients were complaining about the quality of service from the hospital staff.
Yesterday I was in a large departmental store. The store supervisors were complaining that the customers do not put the things they take back in the rack.

Last week I was addressing a group of traffic constables and they had their own stories to tell on how people do not respect traffic rules.
I have only one thing to tall all these people: we are not living in an ideal world! In an ideal society people will behave perfectly; they will do their job perfectly; there will be no need for follow up; there will be no law breakers.
We are not living in a world of robots. We are not robots. We are human beings with feelings and emotions and we have our own habits driven by our own likes and dislikes.
So what is the remedy?
Don’t expect things to be ideal. At the same time let us not add to the already chaotic situation!

Does it make a sense?
