Good people?
I've been reading this book called "Atlas Shrugged" by Ayn Rand. Its supposedly a book that's considered to be the bible for Capitalistic ideology. Even though this book is a snooze-fest, I came across a line where the protagonist, who is an industrialist looking for someone to get a steel bridge made, says to her colleague "Why is it so hard to find good people nowadays?" This made me think, when was there ever a time when we had good people? I mean, all I've ever heard businessmen say is "its so hard to find good people nowadays". But I have never heard anyone say, since the beginning of time, that "good people" were so abundant that if you picked up a stone and threw it, you'd hit a "good person". Seriously, how come every business-person says the same thing? What a cliche.

ReplyDelete@Abdu - I'm still trying to keep my posts more frequent. But I'm failing miserably at it. You know how hard it is to write. Takes hours for a single post, no matter how lame it turns out to be.
