Whenever someone
tells me that they've never done anything wrong the first thing that comes to
my mind is whether they ever got a chance to do something wrong? Because what I
believe is that no one ever goes out and searches for something wrong to do. We
never think of doing something wrong or bad until it comes right in front of
us, knocking our door asking if we're ready to face it. We are humans and you
have to accept that we all have the tendency of doing wrong depending on the
situation. Those who say no to this will stop arguing when I ask them,
"have you ever had to choose between two people, one of whom was your
close one and other one a not so close person?" They might tell a straight
"No" or "Yes, and I chose the one who was right, forgetting who
was mine" while still knowing deep inside what they're hiding and chances
are they're now quiet because most probably they remember at least one such
instance from their life and they clearly remember that they had chosen the one
they loved knowing that they were wrong.
Not just this,
even when you are unhappy when someone else is happy and happy when someone
else is sad, you've done wrong. It's all wrong that you've done and you do not
know because you haven't ever thought about it this deeply. And it's not just
one person. I believe almost everyone who says they've never done anything
wrong in their lives are failing to look beyond what they've seen only with the
eye, failing to look into their hearts and failing to accept what they've
probably already realized deep down in their hearts. When we do not introspect
and just keep arguing, the end is never a win. It's just like walking
directionless in a deep, dark forest without knowing where we're heading. It's
just like "Go I know not wither, fetch I know not what."
The kind of
life, where you’re just continuously walking, not knowing whether you’re
walking forward or backward, not knowing where you’re headed, not knowing
what’s ahead of you. The kind of life where you know nothing about yourself.
The kind of life which is not yours, that’s not the kind of life real people
live. Doesn’t matter if you’ve been wrong, doesn’t matter if you’ve had
failures, doesn’t matter if you’re not too good a person, whatever, it’s still
better to know yourself than living under the rock, with a shadow over your
head and not knowing whose body you’re living in. This reminds me of a very
popular saying and a wonderful thing one of my friends once said to me – “Just
because you close your eyes doesn’t mean the world disappears.” The same way if
you refuse to accept who you are and realize what you’ve done, it doesn’t make
you some other person. No matter how much you tell others the legendry tales of
your righteousness, the fact that you know it inside how much righteous you are
makes it all worth to know yourself more than you think you should. We all know
it, but we rarely show the courage to accept it. Have the courage, be the
stronger one, realize who you are. Being wrong is not that bad. We’re all
humans, and if we say we don’t err, it would be a lie. So stop lying to
yourself. Wake up, wash your face and look into the mirror. Tell yourself
proudly, “I am What I am & What I am needs no Excuses” J Have a Happy Monday
and happy week ahead.
