Good & Bad

 You tell the world that you are good? You show the world that you are the best? You exhibit yourself as the best amongst all? Nonsense.

 The world hasn’t witnessed complete Good and complete bad, so far. With the ‘Good’, there will be some percentage of bad. With the ‘Bad’, there will be some % good. It’s the combination – May be 90/10, 60/40 or 10/90.

If you expect 100% good, then, you are searching something that is not available in reality.

 When someone commits mistake, surprisingly the people around him/her becomes Suddenly Good people. What a worst perception this is! Visibility of mistakes makes the person as the worst. Invisible mistake holders just stay as if nothing happened inside their conscience. Not acceptable. Certainly not acceptable. All of us have this mistake percentage. May be high or May be less. When it is poison, what is in %? Poison means Poison. It’s as simple as that. May be one can proudly grade that he/she is a slow poison specialist.

 When I see mistakes of others, first I self-realize myself where I made such or related mistakes. When I self-realize, first, I keep quiet. Second, I never speak as if I am a Yogi and all others are sinners. Third, I never pose as a right person as well. Fourth let me correct myself before asking the other person.

 Then… who will punish that person? – This must be your question. Isn’t? Simple. Someone who is right will punish the person who committed mistakes. It’s not your job. You first correct your mistakes. You haven’t committed any mistakes? If so… Here we go… you have got all rights to ask / punish / question the one commits mistakes.

 Your inner voice now says …” if this is the case, no one can ask or punish anyone “. Yes. Go back and read the first paragraph now. Again.

 Except GOD (that’s also a supernatural, illusion filled image to me) everyone commits mistakes. Unless and otherwise the one commits mistakes, self realizes his/her mistakes, nothing is going to change. You can create a situation where the person can self-realize and correct himself/herself. (This is where the concept – Jail came in).

 Nowadays I have this habit of forgiving and move on. Forgiving never means accepting again. Forgiving means you ‘let go’ the experience assuming that everyone makes mistakes. As it ‘let go’, you move on with new experiences of life which may take you to new levels. Certainly with new associations, new people, and new situations … The best version of you can soon be released. Life is not a fixed book made in marble. It’s a paperback book where every page brings another unexpected twist and turn.

 When son commits mistakes, don’t speak as if a Buddha. Think about your past. When daughter commits mistake, don’t speak as if you are the moral Guardian. Think about your teen age life. Sleeping with someone is equal to seeing someone through window – without his/her knowledge. In First case, body merges. In the latter case, mind merges. Both are equal. In fact, the second case is the origin for the first case. Think.

 If the world is able to self-realize it’s mistakes, every time when it come across mistakes of others… soon Planet Earth will be the most blessed place on universe. I understand this is not a possibility. But I can throw a stone in a pond. Let the fish start to think.

 When you self-realize your mistakes and reset yourself….

 Life becomes beautiful.
