Educated People

On a saturday night, Sundara and Sundari along with their children Putta and Putti decided to go for dinner in a nearbu restaurent. They had visited their family deity temple in the day and due to traveling, could not have a decent lunch and the team was hungry and tired.

The restaurent they had selected was very near to their house and offered very tasty food. Evening when they went to near to the restaurent and was about to park their 2 wheeler, they were stopped by an elderly gentleman. He looked educated, was wearing good clothes and generally looked like coming from a wealthy family. He and his family were also coming to the same restaurent for dinner. The conversation went on like this

Well Educated Gentleman (WEG) – Sir, please do not park here

Sundara (S) – OK, but any specific reason?

WEG – we have to park our 4 wheeler here

S – sir, this is a 2 wheeler parking, 4 wheeler parking is little further down, please park there

WEG – do you expect us to park there and walk all the way from there?

S – sir, this place is meant for 2 wheeler parking, these are rules. If we do not adhere to rules, how do you expect the system to go on?

WEG – lot of people park under No Parking Sign, why should I not park here?

S – sir, just because some people are fools, should we also be one? Also, rules are made for ease of everyone.Let us follow it

and the conversation went on. But in the end, Sundara terminated the conversation as the WEG was bent on parking his 4 wheeler in the 2 wheeler slot only.

Looking at the entire situation, my thinking was that if educated people behave in this way, who will follow rules? Should rules be done then? How will society function, without any set rules or set conventions? Or what would be the difference between educated and un-educated mass!!!!!!!!.

Also, what message are we giving to our kids. Kids tend to follow their parents.

We should make a difference to the society.

Maybe, I am not fit to be part of this society
