Personally, I am inspired with an utmost believe that the ability to accumulate the energy and knowledges to achieve a goal is aspired by when an individual is independently reliable to itself without the reliances of hoping on someone else even though there is a reputable. The essence is that you stays mindedly and focus with the agilities to reach out to your goals and targets.
The government and the governed have separate responsibilities assigned to them by the Constitution. To have a prosperous society both entities must perform their roles. The government must protect lives and properties and also ensure basic amenities are available for the citizens to enjoy. The citizens must also live peacefully, pay taxes, and ensure that these amenities are not misused, vote during elections, etc. But in my location both the government and citizens have failed to carry out their roles this is why the nation is underdeveloped. The government and the citizens have embraced corruption and this is why the nation is stagnated.
But as individuals should strive to contribute our quota to national development by being economically productive and politically sensitive. Regardless of the problems we are facing, we should work hard to ensure that we live a financially stable life. And also help advance our nation in any good way we can.
NB: I am finding it difficult to understand your post and will advise that you write using simple words to state your points. Using conflicting words makes your post hard to comprehend. I am also confused by the word "masses", I think the meaning should be the people and not the government.
