All of us are engaged in white collar crimes,
for example not to go to the office as the weather is turbulent because of
heavy downpour just before leaving, or a sensational cricket match between
India and some other country is being played or simply mood is off color. A few
of us also take excuses of the ill health of parents, spouse & sometimes of
their children. By any chance, if the boss phones, we suppress the real fact and
we frame an imaging story in the backdrop of a white lie. It is known as white
collar crime. The fundamental difference between the two crimes of blue collar
and the white collar is that the former one is vituperative and highly
offensive and subject to severe punishment say imprisonment, hefty fine, rusticate
and discharged from duties or job. But if you commit white collar crimes, you
don’t get any reprimand or face a serious type of punishment. Now, if someone
commits a blue collar crime, for example, stealing, robbery, rape, murder or
creating anarchy, the society will not pardon the person and he will be bench
marked as a notorious and evil person. Suppose, this person is tired of doing
blue collar crimes and also after getting repeated punishments, by any chance
he decides to change his character & approach you and me to become a good
person, we will not encourage & will be full of suspicion. May be, we will
try him to be convicted again. But if this person approaches a yogi, he will
not hesitate to give him advise to change. Because the yogic person is aware
that no one can fight with the darkness. You have to just illuminate the light
of doing good deeds & darkness will be automatically removed. Evil is the
result of the distracted mind & when the mind is full of various dark
thoughts, the person gets induced and excited to commit blue collar crimes. So,
the remedy is to enlighten your soul and fight your evil desires.
The white collar crimes fundamentally look to
be of lesser complication & so after committing these crimes, we don’t
repent. But repeatedly if you commit these crimes, you lose your morality first
in your own eyes & then to other eyes.
Today’s glamorous world takes it as a chauvinism
to consume alcoholic drinks in party gathering, friendly get-together or in any
kind of celebration. In these types of high profile gatherings, using slang
languages, criticizing others and abusing or hurling insults even to your bosom
in an inebriated condition is not that uncommon. These are part of wrongdoing
and also can be classified as white collar crimes. More surprisingly, these crimes
are performed by all types of people of the society. People sometimes commit
white collar crime out of the requirement or as they say due to the demand of
the situation. They support their white collar crimes under the logic that they
are not interested to do so, but they
are forced to commit. This occasional white collar crime is permissible, though
not advisable, but when the same becomes practice, it is detrimental both for
the doers and to whom it is meted for. It is seen that the offenders usually
commit crime to find out a short cut to reach the desired goal or doing some
unfair means to achieve the momentary happiness. For example, you are a good
student & you are able to solve most of the questions in one of your
examination papers, but our of your quest to obtain more than eighty percent
marks, you engage in consultation with one of your friends to get the answer to
a specific question knowingly that said conduct is not admissible in an
examination hall. Your this activity may increase your overall percentage, but
it is a white collar crime performed by you to bring in a temporary solace for
you A majority of white collar crime is done in our society, not due to any
convincing or compelling reason, but it is performed basically for the reason
of a shear habit and desire of carrying wrongdoings, which are mostly
classified as pardonable offense. In today’s society, we observe a rampant
corruption prevailed in our education system, government machineries, administrative
authorities, hospitals, temples &
churches. All these corruptions are basically evolved not because of need, but
mainly because of greed.
We have a strict vigilance & an ethical
code of conduct supported by a well described law and order impositions, even
though, white collar crimes are soaring. Why it is so? People have a less
belief in the system based values and ethics and to get the work done, they
mostly rely bypassing the system, resorting to induce the greed of others.
Contrarily, people can very well take the defined ethical route to get their
jobs done; maybe they have to wait a little bit longer period and suffer a
little more pain. The trust is the most important ethical formula, which people
must respect from their heart to avoid this easy to perform white collar crime.
Our education system is equally responsible for this wrongdoing. The system
agitates our mind to think everything centered on money, but not on the basis
of a good virtue and nobility. Most of us are ignorant to understand the latent
meaning of the Law of karma. Our profanity reminds us to consider this merely as
a token of knowledge. Our human resources development escalates our knowledge
to confine us within the commercialized education system. We are seldom able to
introspect the real purpose of our education and so unable to increase the
quality of our lives. We only focus to career enhancement & materialistic
gain & we take the same as our benchmark. And to fulfill this path, we
continue to loom to perform white collar crime. An aspiration of rising up in
life at any cost thunders us and rotates our mentality to live grandeur and
believe a system of corruption though we prefer a lip service against this
crime. We mostly resort to desire driven living and ultimately suffering a lot
of hardship, pain, distress, humiliation and hatred in the long run. We can get
a limited success by not embracing upon an approach of doing white collar crime
quite often, but the same outlook will not cause a disaster in life. Our egocentric
life and self-centered living style arouses our need, more than our requirement
and the same covetous greed tempts us to lark to snatch others wealth so that
we are able to earn name, fame and money for our own. This modified pattern of
mind destroys our peace, happiness, calmness and honest virtues. Our flurried
mind makes us to flutter here and there for materialistic gain. The more you
believe in this game of white collar crime, the greater will be frustration. A
stage will come, you won’t be able to flunk anymore. Your pleasure oriented
life will become misers centered remnant. Our consciousness always teaches us
to find out the real behind the apparent, perpetual behind the ephemeral and
egoistic behind the selflessness. At times, we do not follow these teachings
and commit white collar crimes
The performer of a blue collar crime needs to
be changed thoroughly, both mentally and physically, which may be difficult
though possible. But for a performer of a while collar crime, which we all do
will be prompted by life’s gimmicks. We will be then allured to perform these
white collar crimes again and again, ultimately giving rise of these activities
to rampage the society. Why to rummage the environment?
