There are some incidents which creat great impact in your life. Some incident cahnge your life long concept about love, friendship & humanity.
I remember one such incident which I can never forget the rest of my life. It was during my graduation days in a small place in maharastra, where we were a group of 50 students in one batch, all came wid a dream of becoming great physicians & surgeons. All of us were staying in a hostel. We stayed in that hostel for 4 ½ years like a family.
There was a guy “X” in our batch, we used to call him “holy-man”. He used to go for mass gathering every weekends to his home,he read holy bible daily, he never ever lied in his life, he never used bad words for anyone, he never did bitching about anyone, he never ever saw any movies in his life(forget about the porn films,a hit in medical hostels). For him masturbation was a crime, he was a good boy of our batch.
But we used to tease him a lot,by forcing him to see porn movies and a lot of funny stuffs, which I cant tell. But he was always cool with it and we were all friends after all. With time we realised that he was different so we stopped making fun out of him and we all respected him as a holy-man…”X”.
Four years passed, during our final MBBS exams, one of our friend “Y” had a very high grade fever in the night before our medicine paper. Fortunately only “X” had antipyretics(fever lowering drugs) in the whole hostel.
So “Y”asked “X”…….……”do u have a paracetamol ?”
“X”…………………………..”yes I have, but I will not give you”.
“Y”……………………………”why?”
“X”………………………….”because you people have always teased me and made fun of me, and you are not my friend.”
……and he closed the door saying he want to study for the exams.
What I want to point out is…..what is the use of those “praying hands” if they cannot become a “helping hand”?
My question is wether “X” is “GOOD” or is he “BAD” ?
HE IS GOOD BECAUSE HE NEVER LIED?
HE IS GOOD BECAUSE HE NEVER USED BAD WORDS FOR ANYONE?
HE IS GOOD BECAUSE HE NEVER WATCHED A PORN ?
“OR”
IS HE BAD?
Although the incident is very small and people may ignore such small incidents in their life, but it has changed my definition about good and bad people.
The questions which are in my mind are…………….
1. Are people good because they are not doing anything bad, or are they bad because they are not doing anything good ?
2. Are people good to you because you are not doing anything bad to them or they are good to you because you are doing good to them ?
I think there is nothing called “GOOD or BAD”, no one is “BEAUTIFULL” or “UGLY”. A person who was bad yesterday may appear good today and someone who was beautifull yesterday may appear ugly today.
Expecting life to treat you well because you are a good person is like expecting a rapist to spare you because you are a virgin.
ITS ALL YOUR IMAGINATIONS WHICH MAKES PEOPLE AROUND YOU BEAUTIFULL & GOOD.

well said dilip..
ReplyDeletei remember the guy X and guy Y very well..
and you too must have remember how this guy Y had expelled you from a group just because you cant throw a big birthday party for them..
so the point still is the same..
you must never have asked guy X why he refused but i had.. he said one day before only he was asked his toothpaste by the guy y and he had given him.. and by some remote chance he went to the bathroom hearing the same guy Y calling him a scoundrel who hides his bible in the cupboard and always keeps it locked because it contains porn pics in it.. that was obvious lie.. but it may have hurt the guy and made him refuse that medicine to him at that crucial time.. and he became bad in some peoples eyes...
so to know the reason is very important to know why things happened and why the person behaved like that..
sometimes you realize your mistakes only when its too late..
but believe me sometimes just doing what ur heart says gives you peace of mind and satisfaction.. which is very important for being good..
@anonymous......i agree wid u, thats y i said "its all your imaginations which create good & beautiful people around u". just a comment of yours changed my perception towards guy "X".
ReplyDeleteSO everything is just illusion and what our eyes see and our ear hears may not be true.
@anonymous.....the guy "Y" expelled me from the group because for him a big birthday party was more important to him than my friendship. you too were not the part of that group in the end.
ReplyDeleteIf the guy "Y" is reading it, i just want to say ki.."we all make mistakes in life but realization and correction of our mistakes makes us humanly and godly.
Who on earth has never committed errors! ? That was ages ago. Not worthy to be remembered and discussed.
