الانسان "اكثر " ما نملك

To follow up on my previous post, and in response to what the family of our friend Who-Sane went through, please allow me to elaborate on the statement in the title of this post. For decades, the Jordanian government has been feeding us the infamous slogan of " الانسان اغلى ما نملك ." While it was known to many that it's a cheap way of rallying Jordanians behind a corrupt government and its illogical policies, one wonders of the inability of people to organize in opposition. I recently read an article on how Jordanian political parties lack the influence and a clear agenda of how to run the country if they were to be given the democracy they wish for. If they were allowed to run for prime minister and form a cabinet. Or if they were to sincerely have the people in their hearts when debating laws and regulations in the parliament.
Therefore, it is not the government to be solely blamed for the colossal inefficiency and wide spread corruption. the government is still corrupt, but when the people themselves are corrupt "beyond repair," it is hard for any government to change the culture and behavior of so many people if they still consider it to be "normal." What Who-sane's father went through is a clear example of a corrupt government and corrupt Public, from stealing the old man's cell phone to the clerk's refusal to flip just one more page back into the register.
