Since time immemorial, elders have preached the young to speak only the truth, at any cost. Even though they themselves aren’t following the path, they want their off springs to be truth worthy. So why is it so difficult to speak the truth? I will never find answers to these questions…..·
What is the temptation that allows one to follow the wrong path?
Is it the excitement of getting away easily?
Is it the way of telling people around you how clever or street smart you are?
Is it that you are a coward?
Is it the agony of being reprieved for something which you are responsible?
Is it so important to save your face?
Is it necessary to blacken someone else’s face to protect your identity?
Is it the fear of being caught in the act so less that you are ready to brave it, if and when caught? Are you doing it for the sake of fun or is it serious business?
Are you born with it or learnt it while you grew up?
Is it your upbringing or the circumstances that made you commit the crime?
None of the above.
ReplyDeleteIt's because a single person is afraid to make a view point opposed to the majority. If he disagrees, he just keeps quiet.
People just want to live lives, feed their families and get along smooth with the least amount of trouble.
They are not in a quest for 'truth' or to be part of history books.
You do your part by speaking the truth and inspire your fellow brethren.
