SHAME!!

So it happens to anyone and everyone to us. We criticize the government for corruption, politicians for their demeanor, actresses for their smaller dresses and frivolous affairs and what not. And everyone and mind you, Everyone, here behaves as if he is actual representation of Ram Rajya in this world and is the perfect person on earth.

And one of those people is me. I stopped cheating in exams once I figured it is wrong. I would certainly not indulge in things that I think are wrong. But the best part of not doing wrong is that you get to decide what is right and what is wrong for you.

For I decide that cheating in exam is wrong but copying an assignment is not! For I get to decide that drinking alcohol is bad but having it as an ingredient in your high profile supper preparations in not. These things don’t get you and your soul. Probably, because it is finally about PERSPECTIVE.

But in spite of always thinking that what I do is right and feeling proud about it, I was put to shame by a frivolous action of greed. Today I ordered a pasta parcel at an outlet and when I went back to get it the waiter handed over me a packet with pasta and garlic bread. Confused I thought maybe he has given me someone else’s packet. I went out then realized it is wrong and turned back.  But then again changed my mind saying may be it is meant to be. And finally came down to my bus screwing my integrity. And probably the extra bread sufficed for all my guilt.

Then suddenly I realized something. It was the complimentary bread u get with pasta. The feeling of shame got me. I bet it was not anger on my foolishness but pity on my small thinking. It is not because I did something wrong but in fact because my intentions became wrong. On the judgment day if I am asked why I did this, I can’t even blame PERSPECTIVE.

At times your higher sins may be forgotten, but the smaller sins that you do may never leave you.
