Such a hypocrite society we
live around which
gets so easily blinded
with rumours and
the tittle-tattle of the
people.
How it
excites people to
quickly point their
fingers on the so-called
well-known and well-off
people. ‘To err is human’ , this
is how the
saying goes ; then how
is it that
only when ‘well-off’ commit
mistakes (supposedly) they are
blamed and accused
so wickedly.. and
how are the ‘not-so
well-off ‘ exempted from all
this ? Both situations it’s
the humans that
are involved , then why double standards???
It’s just
too easy to
put down someone
by forgetting the
many good deeds
done by them
for few unintentional
faults.. but does one even
attempt to know
why things have
been the way
they are. No. One believes only
what one hears. I wish
we all took a little
extra time in
reflecting what we say
before just blurting it out.
We often
avoid the other
side of the
story; we immediately judge things that
are proximal to us.
We live
in a society
which looms on
people to pull
their weak strings
and bring them
down to their
own level. Sadly jealous
society that spends
its quality time in gossiping
. What pleasure they
might be getting
out of all this , one wonders!
When parents
are ready to
disown their son , it’s
alright ; but if the
same thing is
done by the son,
it’s brutal. If one
wants to comment
on things then
he/ she should also
have the courage
to confront and
get first hand information
from the respective
person involved. To criticise
from a distance
is not difficult, get in
there and you’ll
know what it
exactly smells like.
One should
understand that the
action one takes
is controlled by
many factors , not one. Sometimes
it’s
just not in one’s hands
to do what
they wish like. Everything
is
a consequence... one leading
to another. Someone has
rightly said, ‘ what one
sows is what
one reaps’ ; and this
is a pretty
good explanation for
all that happens
in each of
our lives. The KARMA explains it all !
However, it’s wrong to
pass derogatory comments
about people without
even knowing the
inside –out about the
situation. What is wrong
cannot be undone, so
what does the
society around do
about it other
than criticising? Nothing other
than making it
look like a
crime even when
it is not. One who’s
not perfect himself
has no right
to comment on
other’s imperfections.
This would
just go on forever but
what one can
do is either
not care about
what people say and
continue doing one’s
duty or get
carried away by such
trivial , meaningless
comments that people
make. As the saying
goes, ‘ practice what you
preach’ or do
not preach at all coz it’s easier
said than done.
P.S:
What hurts is
when your close ones
whose values and
ideologies you once respected
get tainted with
gossipy rumours.
