You cant buy happiness with money! for what are you striking for
Its not good to announce sick leave. It’s not right to take advantage of such loopholes in the labor law and protest. specially workers who are working in the fields which are essential for the function of the society. Such protest shows we are not mature to practice democracy. Before start such protests you should cross certain stages and should arrange a protest when every possible action is exhausted. I think it’s not ethical to have such protest in order to raise pay since doctors are doing humanitarian work. Even not getting a penny, will get people and God love if assist with patients. I think a smart guy will not consider even such strike if we rethink about our economy and the world economic downfall. Wellknown companies in the world are suffering losses and countries are feeling the taste of credit crunch. Companies are begning to give redundancy notice to thousands of people, but they did not protest, they understand the situation, they love their country. Due to unbalanced huge budget of the last three years, Maldives economy has deteriorated a lot. Actually we have to cut down our payroll. Please guys make sense, think about the nation first. Seems everyone is greedy for power and money. Every one is trying hard to make their dreams true impatiently putting the country in the ashtray. No one can buy happiness for money and power.
“If we ponder deeply over the question,HOW WE GET HAPPINESS, we realise that happiness is not to be had from somewhere else, for the soul is itself made of this happiness, is nothing but happiness alone. That which is happiness incarnate has not to find happiness anywhere else. Happiness is not to be possessed; it is to be enjoyed, to be experienced. It is not necessary to torment ourselves for getting happiness. There is no trouble whatsoever in happiness; restlessness has no happiness. Restlessness is itself unhappiness and its absence is happiness. As such there should be no desire for happiness, for desires themselves make us unhappy. Absence of desires is real happiness.”

Your ethical points about good and serving make sense. Yet how can these ethical issues be adhered to when people at the top arent in the first place. They are talking nonsense. They should be an example.
ReplyDeleteWhat about appointing all these deputy ministers and atoll and island councillors and paying fat sums of money (money mostly kept for teachers) when the economy is in crisis and even just before that. Going on luxury trips with big number of delegates and talk about invisible sums of money which god knows what promises are being made. These things should be balanced. People should have a right to voice their opinions when they are treated unfairly. This is the practice of democracy.
"doctors are doing humanitarian work. Even not getting a penny, will get people and God love if assist with patients." Can you show me one shop owner who will give these doctors a half kilo of rice for free every day as a token of appreciation for their so called Humanitarian work? Or do you think doctors are super humans who do not have to eat or pay rent or send their children to school?
ReplyDeleteThink about the nation first? Despite the whole world economy going into a recession the government is going around raising everyone's salaries except doctors who actually got a pay cut. I am sure you would call that fair. Isn't it our elected leaders who should first have the sense to run this country properly, be practice fairness?
Everyone else gets pay rises but it's just the doctors who have to get happiness by having no desire for happiness.
The only way to stop the Maldives budget from deteriorating is to cut the pay from doctors even while everyone else gets pay rises is it?
The doctors are not complaining about not getting a pay rise. They are complaining about them being treated unfairly. As we can see how much you can understand that concept from your one sided shallow appreciation of the situation.
If you can't look at the reality or at least be fair and truthful in your analysis of things that are apparently beyond you, at least keep your thoughts to yourself.
anon@10:49,
ReplyDeleteExactly my thoughts too. It is not humanitarian work in the sense that it is free. Doctors also have to earn to make a living. The effect will be long term, as less people will come forward to make medicine a career. It is not fair that the top few percent of government earn large fat salaries, including the parliamentarians. They don't even get paycut for days they dont attend even!
