The Big Brother

This Big Brother not only watches you but also pokes his nose into your privacy. He proclaims that he is well-mannered and civilized. He seeks solutions externally to its internal problems. He trades war for peace.

You do all you could during the year. You get into a room with your manager to review your annual performance. Invariably, every manager would have at least one point for your development needs. Their imagination rockets beyond mine. At least they do their job once.

Connect the dots between above two paragraphs. In this blog, I am the manager. Wow, what a feeling to be at the giving end for once. Undoubtedly, at the receiving end is the self-proclaimed superpower in terms of nuclear weapons and war - the United States of America - the big brother and bully of the world.

Why is USA an acronym of "least admired" in my dictionary? My answer is simple, honest, and to the point. Because it is.

USA, in the simplest terms, owns the world according to its political leaders. Every president of the United States - no matter black or white - considers himself to be the messiah and dictates policies for all countries. All of them undoubtedly know everything from how should Iran use nuclear fuel to how China should reform its economic policies to how India should not interfere in Internet screening. But when it comes to America, they simply are a failure. Failure in understanding the American needs. Deaf and dumb towards healthcare. Blind towards credits and loans. Careless about gun culture.

Alfred Nobel alone is to blame. Peace prize for war is the first time in the history of civilization. Killing hundreds of thousands of innocent people elsewhere because few thousands lost lives in your country will bring peace to none. Agreed that a life is a life. One life is as precious as many. But an eye for an eye will only make you the president of the United States. Money spent in wars could have easily earned jobs, security, and healthcare. But who wants solution to our problems. We are America. We always want to create one outside.

The election is around the corner. President Obama is expected to win despite his failures. Only because the opponent is a disaster. He will make an astounding speech again upon his victory. But everything stops there. Nothing moves afterwards except his dog.

The Verdict.

America, the developments are much needed not in your infrastructure but undoubtedly in your outlooks. Nobody has conquered the world without conquering self. And you are "nobody". Before you dream of owning the world, own yourself first.  Please keep in mind the following corporate mantra:

The developed always needs development!
