What is right and
what is wrong
Think a
second; can we live without knowing what is right and what is wrong for us? Not
at all. We can’t think. It is impossible. We can’t live our life.
Suppose if
anybody asks us to set a fire on the roof of our house, and we do the same.
Then what would happen? Obviously, our house caught fire. But can you do the
same? No. Never. Because you know, if you set a fire on the roof of your house,
it will catch fire and burn your entire house. You become homeless. You will
lose your shelter. You never witness your house in fire. If you do so, then it
is a foolish act. You couldn’t commit
such a blunder. Even you can’t think in your wildest dream. You’re not insane.
You’re not absent minded.
Again suppose
you are asked to commit a crime, and in its return you will awarded a huge
amount of wealth, and thereafter you wouldn’t need to work anything in your
entire life. You will live luxurious life forever. Can you go ahead with this
offer? Without taking a second, your answer would be strong NO. You would say
how I could commit a crime to become a rich. No. No. Never. Never. Why would
you say like this? Because you know what is right and what is wrong for you.
You know very well. There is a trap set for you. Once you caught in it, you
never freed yourself. It is not to make you rich, but it is to make you
criminal throughout your life. You can’t live your life as a criminal.
Everybody
knows that life is full of uncertainties. Anything can happen in life. Good or
bad. Success or failure. Nobody could predict about it. It is beyond human
imaginations. Forget about it. Okay. Fine.
Now if by
chance, in any juncture of your life, suppose your life demands from you to
choose the path of wrong means to get success in your life, then what would be
your decision. Would you proceed further for the same? Really, it is a big
question for anybody. It is a tough
decision for you to go for it. There may be two possibilities. First, if you’ve
already seen some success in your life, then it would be easy for you to deny
it straightway. Second, if you haven’t yet seen any success in your life and in
every step of your life, you’ve got the hard slaps of failures. Then you might
be taking some chances to see the first glimpses of success. Here is the margin
of committing error is much more. Now it is depend upon you, how much you know
yourself, i.e. how much you know what is right for you and what is wrong for
you. Decision is always be yours. If you take the right decision, your life
will be on the right tract and if not, on the wrong tract. Your decision is
depend upon what you want right now, what are your needs, and what is the position
of situation, in your favour or against you. But the fact of the matter is that
one who knows what is right for him, he will always go for it no matter what
happens. He will never fall in dilemmas. He will never take wrong decision. And
he never be the part of wrong ones.
However, there
are many incidents that happened in our life when we are bound to commit such
things which are wrong for us. But we have to force ourselves for the sake of
happiness of our dear ones and for the sake of their lives.
Now let’s
take a small story, one day a poor man’s wife met an accident and seriously
injured. Immediately, he took his wife to the hospital. Now the dilemma is that
he has not a single coin in his pocket to pay the hospital fee. The hospital authority
doesn’t admit his wife until he wouldn’t deposit the money. The poor man asked
for help. But no one was there for his help. He pleaded the doctors to cure his
injured wife. The doctors agreed. But they asked him to arrange the money as
soon as possible; otherwise they wouldn’t operate his injured wife. How could
the poor man see his wife dying? He went out and asked help from his near and
dear friends and relatives. But nobody was out there to help him. He lay down
in disgraced. There was a man standing nearby. He came closer to him and asked about
his problems. The poor man narrated the entire episode. The man promised him
whatever money he wanted for his wife’s treatment, but in return he has to do a
job for him. The poor man agreed. The man gave the money and asked the poor man
to deliver a bag to the same hospital. The poor man happily went to the
hospital with a bag. But he never returns from there. After a few hours the
hospital was exploded with a loud bang.
In this real
time anecdote, the moral is that the harsh situation created so much of hurdles
for a man that he becomes helpless. He can’t think. He can’t act. Even he knows
what is right and what is wrong for him, he has bound to commit such things.
For the
wrong things that happen in our day to day life is not because of what we do
wrong, but what the situations created for us. Even we know everything, both
right and wrong, we commit such blunders. Because of our wants. Because of our
needs. And of course time.

My Litttle CandleIn the dark night
When there is no sight,
But, my little candle is burning alone,
Fighting all alone.
Without fear
Without care.
Fighting with the wild wind
Fighting with the mad black queen.
Having a thin wick
Without feeling sick.
She doesn't know any scream;
She only knows her beam.
She sacrifices her life
For the happiness of others' life.
She keeps her vows
Even she keeps away her woes.
She doesn't know any curse
But, she tells us to search.....
The path of light
And to feel the delight.
--Binita Devi, Mangaldoi
Alone and lonely
Lonely night
Lonely soul,
I stood alone,
Glimpses my twin eyes all the above.
But I couldn’t view anything.
No moon,
No stars.
Everywhere only darkness appears.
Only it’s me and my loneliness,
Waiting for someone
Who would be mine,
Close to my heart.
Only flowing of thoughts,
Only beams of dreams,
Waiting till the dawn,
But nobody come,
I stood as usual
Alone and lonely.
--Kashturi Boro, Kokrajhar
