Fake concerns

I often wonder whether the concerns on various matters expressed by the people in service of the government are true or false.
And my experience of over 30 years tells me that accepting such concerns at their face value is fraught with danger.
This is primarily because of the "Dr Jeykall & Mr Hyde" type of persona that most of us bureaucrats acquire during our stint in the so called service of the nation.
People who do not mean what they say and do not say what they mean are in command almost everywhere and that is the real problem of India. People whose only concern is "self" and who would go to any length to satiate their personal ambitions and desires cannot be and will also never be of any use to the nation.
I find the situation "unfortunate" to say the least.
Is there any salvation?

Deceptive appearences

Yes. One should not judge people by what one sees or experiences. But that is how it is. Our judgements, pronounced so magnanimously, are generally based on external appearences and experiences. Human personality is however much deeper that the thickness of the skin. The real person is therefore quite often much different from what is evident from the exterior.
A rough guy may quite often be a soft guy from the inside and someone who appears to be a rogue may turn out to be infinitely superior to the guys who appear to be pleasent on the outside.
The prevalant method of assessing people totally dismisses what the guy may have inside him, something that is not apparent to the casual visitor. And so one makes mistakes, only to regret them later. And this regret is hard to overcome. It causes burns, burns that are deep enough to survive for long but also deep enough to remain unnoticed for long.
How strange and inexplicible!.
