virtue is tested

गुणवन्तः क्लिश्यन्ते प्रायेण निर्गुणाः सुखिनः।
बन्धनमायान्ति शुकाः यदेष्टसञ्चारिणो काकाः॥

सुभाषितं॥
guṇavantaḥ kliśyante prāyeṇa nirguṇāḥ sukhinaḥ|
bandhanamāyānit sukāḥ yadeṣṭasañcāriṇo kākāḥ||
subhāṣitaṁ||

Another great thought from old.. worth remembering

People with some virtues and qualities which are generally accepted usually meet with difficulties.. 
However people who are not having any such qualities are free and happy.. 
The parrots, who can sing and talk and look beautiful are kept in captivity, but the crows just move around happily without any hassles.

Yes, it is a dilemma indeed
If a person is worth something, his actions would be criticized, evaluated.
If he is of no particular distinction, no one would think of him.

Yes, eventless lives can go on for ever
But worthy lives will faces praises, criticism, encouragement and pulling down too...

To live in darkness for ever or to live in limelight even for a short while is mostly our choice..
