The Ethical Act of Voting.
The Hindu, 18 April 2019.
| Abstract: |
It is the duty of having to act not for individual benefit, but for the benefit of the larger society.
There is a puzzling trait that is pervasive and human. It is that we often judge others with a
different yardstick than with which we judge ourselves. When I visit an organisation, there
is always somebody who complains that their colleagues do not work at all. Ironically, the
colleagues also say the same thing about others in the organisation. Our self-perception is
often at odds with the way others see us. This is also part of a deeper human malaise: we
think others are wrong and we are right in our beliefs and opinions. Elections exemplify
these tendencies very well. |
