Are we logical?

Tags
Over 7 billion people live in a world whose control lies in the hands of just a handful of people - powerful politicians, elite businessmen, clever bureaucrats and talented journalists. They are those who enjoy the legacy and on the other side are those like us who have not yet learnt how to properly dream of being powerful and pass our days in managing our daily needs.
This is a well known fact that half of the world's wealth lies in the hands of just 1% of population and is estimated to increase. This is a big economical inequality. Wish the great souls that keep inspiring me to choose satisfaction and peace over money be successful in turning these riches to their disciples and put an end to the division of society.
Thinking on whether the world is actually biased or it appears to be? Do the things go on logically? At least, in theory! If everybody in the world actually started using not so commonly found 'common sense', there would have been no wars or the terrorist attacks.
If you don't know, let me tell you how far logical the world is. Time travel and reincarnation is banned in China. And South Korea bans movie theaters which are against their 'values'.
Why talk of the world? Let's talk of our own country, the largest democracy! Somebody who coined the term as 'To the people, by the people, for the people' must have not known that votes will replace people soon. The change is legitimate, after all it's the votes that count, no matter how and from where they 'arrived'.
The governments' accounts in our country are usually found empty, thanks to the 1000 crore club of corrupt politicians. Inflation rates get to the sky, the public needs urgent solution. Our leaders are good in this as well. Give free water, free electricity, free laptops, free bicycles, free, free, free! Then increase the taxes to recover for the all free stuff. That's easy indirect trading for the votes.
Think everything goes logically? It does, until you yourself are not involved in it!
Got stuck in a situation of emergency? Call the cops. Let's see if they arrive at time. Even if they did, there is huge risk of them running away in the midway. Remember what happened in Mathura?
The truth is bitter. We do know of  'Padhega India, tabhi to badhega India'. Education should have been free. Although when you step out for a professional course, you have to be ready to lose all your parents' savings. Another bitter fact is the govt can increase salaries of it's own MLAs by 400% but cannot do anything to institutions that have become more like shops where degrees are sold. A car loan can be interest free but education loan cannot be.
Sleeping on footpath was never a big crime, but suddenly car of a celebrity drags over the sleeping poor and the court finds everybody associated with the case innocent. Certainly some ghost must have been the culprit.
The life is even more complicated. Just try attempting for a job, and your entire family history would be sought out. I won't find an answer if the interviewer asks me 'Why don't we hire your dad's sister-in-law's sister's son in your place?'
When you are almost ready to give up in this illogical world, suddenly a vision and enthusiasm to change the things strike your mind. Let's tempt the govt to change this. Organize a dharna at XYZ road and take the minister from our area in confidence. But you need permission from authorities, which is probably not going to land up very soon. Anyways I will protest, and then arrives the police when it is not needed, ready to take down your 'gangmembers'. Your protest is good, but an attempt to stop them displace you can lead to framing of charges of interruption in work of police. Who knows an encounter specialist is getting ready for his next work? Complicated nexus! Get me out of this!
