Adjudicated Parallels

It's heartening to note how family and friends can turn into foes, given the materialistic possessions coming in the way. There cannot be a second's discretion from these kinsmen to usurp properties or assets and live a life of luxury. This luxury rarely transcends violence and a peaceful coexistence becomes just a fabled thought. Relatively, all that remains is mired relationships and barely-there bonds. I know a person who was very cordial with his siblings- and more precisely, one of his own brethren. The familial bond developed into trust and this relationship exhorted him to share an asset with the person without a binding agreement. Soon, the sibling usurped the property because of dire needs and sent the real owner into exile to a nearby town- well, literally. These type of incidents has made it necessary for people to put the purchase of assets on paper. And even more so, the legally binding papers are necessarily given a forethought as to how the lacunae can be pl...

Those who commit deeds in the leeway do not expect it to come to light. But, their very thought is self-defeating. There is no deed of people that is elusive to light, unless properly disguised and organised to be hidden. Well, if everyone can be this high-handed, there won't be the need for people to dream of becoming a successful person. But, trust me, nobody wants to be such a person. There were many letters written by the former prime minister Jawaharlal Nehru to his daughter. He mentioned many things in these. The advise that stands out to many children among these is very enlightening. This father asked his daughter not to do anything that may make her feel ashamed to talk about it in the open. Or, more precisely, her deeds need not be afraid of the light. This is a great thought and all-encompassing. The very thought is mentioned in the Bible, wherein God wants all his people to be such. It also warns them that every deed that is done in the dark and the absence of ligh...

There exists a balance in the real world wherein every person can be harmonious with others or not. It depends on the choice of words or actions that can decide the benign influence of this balance. The weights of the balance can move either way. And, believe me, many factors that are malignant to the harmonic imbalance have to be sorted out. Even a mere gesticulation can bring in a danger to this harmony, if at all, played with. I was privy to this situation, wherein, no heed was paid to the person just giving a smile to me. As it was a first impression, the person --from then on-- thought that I was a little brash to everyone in my dealings. Even though, this was a place of worship, the lady began to develop a wrong attitude about me. This exists everywhere. May be, people want to be entertained in talks with others. But, it won't hurt if you are at good terms with everyone. Charity begins at home and if you are good with family members and neighbours, everyone becomes aware...
