there is a fallacy in judging what is right and what is not right





Now I am beyond both encomia and insults. Just waiting on the railway platform for the train to arrive and taking me for the journey to infinity, be it to heaven or hell.

However, there is a fallacy in judging what is right and what is not right. For any living being survival, as long as the soul and body are keeping company is the best policy.

God appears to have made his world with a plan that the stronger entities or persons will gobble up the weaker ones. The bigger one tries to conquer the smaller one, and that seems to be the right action of nature. The smaller one attempts to resist for its own survival applying all strength and resources he could muster. That too is natural. Therefore, in life, there is conflict between right and right on too many counts. That conflict is natural.

Life is dynamic. People cannot live in their own isolated compartments expecting others not to interfere.

Fight and win, or fight and perish- only these two choices are there before us.

We are binding ourselves with unseen ties of assumed obligations. We just weep in futility over non-performance and non-reciprocation.

They make rules for religion and social transactions keeping in mind convenience of all the followers. However, those who occupy positions that would enable them to sabotage us emotionally are using diverse methods effectively. They are right in their own way, because that is convenient for them. However, the persons who are to bear the brunt such demands are right in refusing to fall prey. In addition, if someone just allows others to make use of him that way then he has, for all practical purposes, lost his right to complain..

Then I do not believe that mending fences, embracing, and crying after perpetrating all bad things, is an ideal solution, or a desirable curse adopted in conflict-management. It is even worse if one tries to mend fences and the person on the other side of the fence refuses such renewal of relation and the former complains about it.

No relation is unavoidable or inevitable. See, we survive and live even when our most beloved persons die.

It is always better to form views after considering the state of mind of parties other than you in any transaction. You need not agree with them, you are free to be on your own, but once there is a frank appraisal of the situation, things can be better. The dictum, “agree to disagree”, is of great significance.

No one gives us pleasure or pain. Our crooked mind says that others are causing us good or give us misery. Again it is a fallacy to assume that we do things all by ourselves. The fate or Karma just binds the world.

सुखस्य दुःखस्य न कोपि दाता परो ददातीति कुबुद्धिरेषा अहं करोमि इति वृथा अभिमानः स्वकर्म सूत्र ग्रथितो हि लोकः says Adhyatma Ramayanam..
(this statement comes from Lakshman during a coversatiion with th Nishada chieftain Guha)
All that one can have is an unprejudiced mind that is not opinionated. That is not easy, I agree.
