.....But then....

The unusual heading and the inspiration for this post comes from a class that I attended yesterday (oh ya for those of you not in loop, am back at XL pursuing my 2 nd year with the other 179 wanna-be MBAs)- A video showing the ghastly state of affairs in the state I belong to brought most of those present in the class to a silence that sounded like death knell and tears to the soft(er) hearted. At the end of the class, a friend and fellow classmate rightly pointed out that the video induced a mere feel-bad factor, and that a little later, we would all go back to our normal life and forget all about it and life will continue the way it has and the way it rightly must! How right she was- 24 hours later, here I am thinking about the same incident and all I can tell myself is “ But then how can I (alone or with others that feel similarly) do anything about it".. Seems like every time we wish to action on something, this “but then” aspect stops us from taking that step required-
