Thoughts and Deeds
If you are not part of the solution ........

Recently I went to get my bike repaired . As the mechanic diagnosed the trouble and opened up the bike we talked. He lamented that the number of people coming to get their bikes repaired had reduced considerably . People liked newer bikes , they do not want to get their old bikes repaired and use . They want everything new . Etc etc . He lamented .

While servicing he opened up a circuit box. This box did the following things . Horn , lights on and off , lights high beam and low beam ,dipper . He noticed that the spring of the horn button had become weak . He said that the switch would need to be replaced . The switch cost about Rs 100 ( good round sum ) . I asked if he could replace the Rs 2 worth of spring , the switch would be as good as new. He replied that that cannot be done and threw the switch in the dustbin . Replaced it with a new switch .

At one level he is identifying behaviours of which he is a victim , while at other level , he is perpetrating the very same behaviour ....
