James Bond, the epitome of the debonair, dashing, suave, philanderer, womanizer, decadent, indulgent, macho, technologically geeky and all that associated jazz. He has inspired a host of Rado Wearing, Aston Martin driving, Bollinger drinking and caviar eating hedonistic generation.
What our culture has failed to adopt from that very character described above is his honesty, loyalty, strong sense of honor, sincerity and integrity, despite his meager salary, and being surrounded by red tape and pompous politicians. He signifies the ultimate weapon of justice, wielded by the MI6, yet his license to kill does not corrupt him into making arbitrary, false or biased decisions.
We humans are very easily blown away by superficialism and most often than usual choose the easy path to glory and success, that hurts no only the weak and un-empowered, but also the deserving and honorable.
The recent Commonwealth Games 2010 at Delhi is a perfect example of how our environment is being sacrificed for the sake of conforming to the superficial, while ignoring the actual need for green cover in Delhi.
