Our Religious Leaders

They are good people, some of them sincere too - I do not doubt their sincerity... However, they are far from the hard realities of life. I feel they are no longer connected with the world we live in. They live in their own created worlds.

This is why they do not seem to understand the crux of our problems. They do not know how to deal with those problems.

Giving charity is good, building hospitals and schools is desirable - but consider this. How many more charities, how many more schools, and hospitals? What kind of real change have such charitable ventures brought about?

The world is certainly no better place (more comfortable, may be) to live than, say, a hundred years ago. Or, even 50 years ago in my own life time.

Stop lectures, let us get real...
Let us take our tools and toil....
