If a Snake can be Tamed, Why can’t a Son? 215

One fine day they will say that the Chief Minister, has given
us houses but no trees around it. It has become fashionable to
blame others these days. If we provide utensils, people ask us
for food to fill those utensils. Let us change this scenario. Let us
make our house beautiful with a feeling of ownership.

Our entire area should be filled with so much greenery that
everyone would want to see it and enjoy it. If we are determined,
we can get these things done. Try to bring about a change in
your life by starting with your locality, and you will certainly
find changes in your life. For example, if there is a nice school
that has been set up in your locality, you should determine to
grow a tree in the campus of the school. In fact, let every
household take an oath to grow one tree in the school campus
nearby. Why should we not have trees? After all, it is our own
children who are going to benefit from its shade! How beautiful
the school will look with a green campus! We can’t uplift our
nation without accepting our social responsibility. This is our
effort to bring awareness. Society should find its own way by
its own strength and use this strength to find new directions.
