Colours of Life Excerpt-5
Colours of Life
Winning and losing are a part of the game. Losing must always instill a determination to stand up and fight back with greater vigor. A win always teaches us to be magnanimous and rejoice with restraint. It also inspires us to work hard. Victory and loss in the game help us understand the ways of life. After every win, there is a chance to lose in the future. Losing must fill our hearts with a desire to win and with the belief that winning is not impossible. One should never lose hope or get dejected and disappointed. No one should ever stop laughing. Everyone should always strive to move ahead in life. After all, life is a game. Everyone should play it fairly with vigor and vitality, with a determination to succeed.
People well-versed and dexterous in their profession are always like a child in their behavior, pure, simple, friendly, and far from pride and prejudices. They never carry ego or any stigma; instead, they carry simplicity and a caring heart. Winners are always like that. Perhaps they know the inbuilt joy in us….
Colours of Life—Poverty
Poverty is the biggest crime. There is no law for it, whereas there should be.
It is a disease, a deadly disease, because of which one human being uses another human being against his will, like domesticated animals, for his hunger and his necessities. He forces him to do all such acts, which he would not have done to himself and which this so-called civilized society calls terrible, worst, inhuman, unethical, and whatnot.
Man cannot be good or bad just for his art of lucid oratory, fashionable, costly clothing, or showing off his human feelings, but these days, these are the only attributes that matter the most….
Humans and humanity
Few people pretend to serve humans and humanity, using them and their resources. It has been the same for centuries and will stay the same forever. When people were buying and selling people, they never felt guilty for their inhuman act, nor did they feel remorse for their actions. Even today, in the name of democracy, they divide people based on caste, creed, and religion for their political gains. One can see people with these thoughts in different colors and different dresses in every society, everywhere.
It hardly matters to them whether their bread and butter are filled with the blood of innocent people. These days, there are many people readily available to sell methods for cleaning bloodstained loaves of bread and butter.
For a piece of this bread, someone who calls himself an artist sells his conscience. If someone has excellent knowledge of the law, then they, on the pretext of their professional ethics, compromise for such a piece of bread. Someone relishes such a piece of bread in the name of religion, except for the few journalists who portray themselves as the real masters of history and social science, eating this piece of bread with pride and dignity.
Human beings talk about the betterment of humanity, but they keep their tyrannical behavior alive (against which they speak ill) and show off their fight for such injustices. Politicians glorify a personality for their political purposes. Politicians always talk, “It is the public who helps us win. I am a public servant.”
