Irresponsible Statements

These days many responsible people in the government and even in religious circles make irresponsible statements which hurt the feelings of people. The statements are directly made about a person, institutions and religion which create divide and confusion in the mind of the people. There are people who seems to have lost faith in these great men and women who are suppose to be guiding the destiny of the nation and its citizens. We read in the newspapers about these statements which are immature and childish sometimes. You begin to wonder how can a person who is holding a public office can speak such a thing which is totally not good for the development and progress of the society. Sometimes these men are highly educated and come from very good backgrounds. When these people make statements the whole society gets disturbed and annoyed about them. The question that keeps coming to mind why do these responsible people make irresponsible statements. In my personal opinion following could be the reasons:

1. That one forgets that one is educated and forgets all the fine things that education has granted to them
2. That they don't study the matter about which they make statements. Sometimes ignorance leads them to make irresponsible statements.
3. That one just wants to be famous instantly and be in the limelight
4. That one uses ones newly acquired power and authority in a abusive manner
5. That one doest know how to handle one's success well

I think it is high time in this well developed and sophisticated world that responsible people stop making irresponsible statements which divide people and create misunderstanding. The leaders should unite the people and not divide them on common issues and even issues related to faith and belief. The damage done by these statement is enormous and long lasting. It is harmful for the present generation. It does not promote peace and unity.
