On one not so fine evening,I was sitting around with a friend who had a decided opinion on some people.Not that I liked the person he cribbed about,but I said that Mr.so&so is not such a bad person at heart really.Then he had a theory,which momentarily I found no answer to.(By the time I had,he had already left.Gosh!I am so slow and Damn!He is too fast for me...)He said,"What a person really is,is reflected in the little things he does.If he is unprincipled and selfish in doing the little things,then whatever goodness you can find in him is just a fake show.The moment he will need nothing from you,he may even harm you.And unfortunately,you find such people very successful in life as they wont think twice before they trample you over for their benefit" .Then he quoted Mahatma Gandhi in "Lage Raho Munnabhai".(Impact of movies,huh?)
As I was feeling really down at the time,so I was speechless.But I can never find in my heart to reject any person completely(specially when he has done no harm to me).Life is full of grey,and believe me,this is what makes it beautiful and interesting.Imagine being surrounded by "Blacks and Whites".Now you know,what I am talking about.If a person is bad,it is because he has some reason to be bad or become bad.Or may be he is being bad unknowingly.This was my argument.No one won the debate as it ended very abruptly.But we need to think from the other person's perspective always to understand the beauty of grey.Can you do it?
