Increasingly we see top leaders, CEO’s falling from fame due to some or the other transgressions they make. During the recent recession it was noted that as the US government was bailing out banks and insurance companies, top CEO’s of those very companies made millions in insider tradings.

A sanskrit sutra: mahajano yena gatah sa panthah,  means that whatever great men do common men will follow. Will the rest follow suit or not we don’t know, but surely disillusionment in leadership is inevitable in such cases.

Moral bankruptcy seems endemic in today’s corporate scenario. Its a veritable truth that these players have infested the government and even the judiciary to some extent.The question which remains to be asked is, does morality fit anywhere into the picture in this rat race? One could argue that in a scenario where “Survival for the fittest” is the buzz word, can morality be profitable enough to be even considered?

An onlooker’s consternation is whether the society will convalesce from such a diseased scenario.

    Hello to everyone,

    Corporate world today is luring people from all walks of life with promises of fat pay checks, higher perquisites, vacations in dream destinations and growth in career and success. Who in the present world wouldn’t want this? Family of four with a 3 or 4 BHK, luxurious Sedan vacationing abroad is all that one dreams or rather thought to dream since childhood. However inspite of all these allurements the fact remains that in the process of achieving all this happiness and peace of mind slips away and is lost somewhere. Only a very few even ponder over this, rest all have set higher bars and they keep pushing themselves, trying hard and harder to make it to the top. Only to realize that even at top most level people are equally disturbed and frustrated. Some accept this some say that it all comes in a package Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gam so we should accept this and learn to live. Only to those few handful who have deeper spiritual realizations or understanding the topics like morality, ethics, integrity all matter. And if the so called good men try to become whistle blowers they will be conveniently silenced. Future seems very bleak as the asat or the immoral have blended with the society like milk with water. However one last attempt that we can try is to conduct ourself morally and ethically to the extent possible, see that our children grow up in spiritual atmosphere, read and gain insights and share it with the deserving and do our role honestly.
