One of my friend drinks. Like a Lot. He can almost be called
as a drunkard. Well, whenever people come to know that he drinks, they start
with their usual monotonous lectures ‘You shouldn’t drink.’ ‘You’ll die
someday.’ ‘Alcohol is not the answer to every question.’ ‘Think of your
parents.’ ‘Think of your friends.’ ‘How will your parents react when they know
about this?’ ‘I won’t talk to you until you stop drinking.’ Well these are the
rants that we expect on a normal criterion. And I am not trying to justify the
fact that he’s drinking. Well, I totally oppose the idea of drinking. I am
against the concept of alcohol and drugs and highly restrain it. But my
question is, You rant at that person, scold him, beat him, blackmail him and
leave him hurt. Do you ever sit and ask him the reason why is he doing it? It
is very easy to hurt that person, But do you know that every wrong has a reason
behind it. A reason you never bother to ask. A reason when it is known by you
can be easily provided. A reason that may be hurting that person inside and
dismantling him minute.By.Minute. A reason you should need to know before
bashing that person.
Nobody is born doing wrong things, Nobody comes out of the
womb with a pack of cocaine or the strategy plan to bomb any country. We all
come out as new individuals and what we choose to do throughout our life is
what we become. Now, life is never a bed of roses. There will be problems.
Rather, loads of them. When people go through problems they develop their own
defence mechanism to fight their problem. They don’t care about what is good
and what is not. They just need to breathe in their own sea. And these wrong
activities, as much wrong as they are, are perfectly alluring and be the best
diving masks in these seas.
The person you right now scolded for drinking, drinks probably because his college ‘older’ friends force him to do so. The person you bashed for being quiet and reserved doesn’t talk probably because he’s being bullied. You scolded your mom for not putting salt in your Sāmbhar but maybe that’s because something happened to one of her friends and she is disturbed. You scolded your elder sister for not making the chart properly when she is working since four in the morning and she hasn’t got an ounce of sleep. You scold your younger brother for being absent-minded while he’s studying, but you don’t know that he’s getting bullied in school and is thus very disturbed.

It isn’t easy to understand everyone in every situation.
Sometimes in a fit of anger, envy, regret and hopelessness we do scold people
without looking at the back and front of the people. But if someone does that
to you, would that be pleasant. Would that be OK with you? No right?
So start respecting others. Start finding reasons for their
problems. And instead of being the Medusa in their life, why don’t be the
Hercules and help pick their problems up and make them a better person.
Every Bad has a reason, Every evil has its root. Every
tongues has its bad. Every wrong develops a shoot. So Let’s be the gardener,
who cuts off these weeds. Who stops being the trespasser and become the farmer
sowing good seeds.

It takes a certain maturity to slip your precious feet into another person's seemingly filthy sneakers, and then to walk a few miles in them..
ReplyDeleteVery few can, and very few learn to.
The others are the reason there is not as much love in this world as there ought to be.

It takes a lot of sacrifice too. It ain't easy to slip into dirty sneaker 'Knowing' that they are dirty.
But I choose to believe, that someday in the far far time. People will Live. People will Love.
Till then, people like you and me are there; aren't we?
Good Day, Friend.
