Despite setbacks, and there have
been many, I refuse to dilute my belief in the inherent goodness of men at
large. Evil, though it often lurks in the most unlikeliest of places has not
yet succeeded in changing this belief despite tremendous environment inspired efforts.
I have always believed that men
are inherently good and why not – after all, all of us are a part of the tremendous cosmic
energy that we recognize as God. And if God is good, how can his constituents
be bad or evil? What we generally witness are acts that are bad or evil and we
often make the mistake of treating the act and the actor as one. Difficult it
is to differentiate between the two, yet we have to, for therein lies the
essence of life.
And therefore those who form
their own opinions based on the true understanding (if that is indeed possible)
of the infinite cosmic energy, and are not swayed by the opinions of masses are
the ones who live life to the fullest, and that is how it is designed to be.
The theory of Karma sounds good
and often takes a lot of burden off our heads for our acts of misdemeanor, yet
I fail to be firmly convinced. After all
the infinite cosmos is not meant to be like humans – holding us responsible for
each and every single act of ours – for by its supposed nature and constitution
it has to be forgiving and not revengeful. And there is also no supercomputer
at work, logging down each and every single act of over six billion souls and
then paying them back in the same coin in this life or thereafter.
Yet goodness by itself is a
reward that should enthuse those who indulge in evil to take recourse to
course correction. Acts that are good and humane in nature impart a deep sense
of satisfaction that is often divine in nature. Yet the intent is what really
matters, good acts committed with the intention of appearing good in the eyes
of others may not yield desirable results.
Res. sir,
ReplyDeletenice to see on blog after 3 months break regularly .yes I firmly believe in your ideology of work and mankind . The bad may some time looks as winning but if one has fear in his heart for his deeds nothing lucrative can make you happy .
I wish one day I become as efficient as you are. I can take decision as fast as you take. I can foresee things as you see by your gut feelings .
may god give me that mind and heart to follow you and give something to my country in return
