Why is India still in ruins? Because everyone knows here that perfection is an illusion.
Do you shave? You know there is no extent to it. There is always some hair left. Also whatever is shaved will grow back. People in several intellectual circles understood this secret like the ancient Rishis (vedic sages) and stopped shaving.
We as Indians have understood that it is all a frustrating cycle of dirt and cleanliness, so we have chosen to embrace dirt and display it in the streets. Today where we have Taj Mahal, there were jungles there once. But still we don’t piss on the Taj thinking there is no perfection in its beauty and then birds also piss there. Or no! We don’t really piss there because law doesn’t let us.
