Where Ethics Matter…
1. Don’t steal2. Don’t lie
3. Don’t cheat
What were your first lessons in school? Mathematics? English? No..
Moral Science. Although this subject did not have much value on the academic side, it was still part of the Indian curriculum and given much value to. Being a boy brought up in orthodox Hindu customs and practices, I was taught to give a great deal of stress to ethics, be it to someone we like or not. And till a few months ago, I lived an imaginary life, where in I believed whatever people say was truth and whatever they did was for the good of the rest. But some one pricked this bubble.
I was now brought to reality, where the new lessons are:
Kill the whole world if you’ve to live, lie all you can to put up an attractive image of yourself, your inner self doesn’t matter what matters is your outward appearance, if it means you’ve to be two-faced, do it…
I have specifically three instances of my life in my recent past, where I’ve seen the true colors of people. Quoting those instances wont help because you are not aware of the context of the issues. Although the core matter remains the same, if someone says “True” as an answer to your question, the same person gives an answer “False” to the same question posed by someone else.
The core foundation of ethics have been compromised, people live two-faced lives where
1. one face is your friend, lover, well-wisher
2. and the other one is your betrayer, one which sells you out once an attractive price is made
Why? May be because I ventured into the other side of the people, do these seem to bother me. During the times when I never knew such things could happen, these people seemed sweet. Now when I’ve known that they say and do things to make them self happy, it really pains to continue a relationship.
The whole framework of unconditional love for one another has fallen apart. The very foundation the world was built upon has started to shake. Not long before, everyone starts discovering their “Loved ones” true face. Now I that I’m doubtful of the integrity of the people around me, my life now has become meaningless.
So, do you still trust your Loved one? Then don’t go behind his/her back testing their integrity. have trust in them else you’ll ruin your own life.
Next time when you put up a smile, let it be from your heart, if it’s not from your heart then let it be a frown don’t fake smile.
PS: Although I ranted so long about ethics, I went around through unethical means to know the horrifying truths. Which now I regret why I ever did find the truth out?
Love,
Jk...
