Good can remain Good

It is difficult for good people to remain good in this world. The world is evil these days. May be it was always like this but I have realized it now. People don’t trust people. Loved ones are hesitant to accept that their loved ones are still good people. Sounds crazy. But true. It is faith that keeps two persons together. It is a simple relationship. The more is the faith between two persons the lesser is the chance of misunderstanding. Faith fills the gap where misunderstanding can creep in. Even if misunderstanding happens it is important to fill that gap again with faith. And this requires immediate action. Talking. Communication.

Communication brings forth the hidden reasons of misunderstanding. On the other hand being passive may led to a situation where things become difficult to mend. People don’t trust each other. Two persons - both good. But when they see other people around, they don’t see the same goodness in them. Then a thought comes in mind – “Everyone around is bad…What are the chances that he/she has also become one of them”. And this is the time when the other person has to communicate – “Although the odds of me being bad seem very high, I am still what I was and you can still keep the same month of faith in me”.

This closes the slit through which misunderstanding could have crept in. But most of the time people think that since they are good they don’t owe anyone any explanation. They don’t need to prove anything. But they need to – to avoid any chances of ill feeling – to prevent from their loved ones going away from them.

But other thing to ponder upon is that why loved ones are so insecure about you? And the answer is - because they love you. They don’t want you to be in trouble. They want you to know the correct way the life needs to be lived. That’s why they worry. And I feel there is nothing wrong in it.

The world is indeed filled with bad people.But the fact remains that there still exist good people.People who are good by heart.Good as individals.Being associated with even one such person makes life a better time to live.But then it does not necessarily mean that we categorize people around us into good and bad based on their proximity in our life.In simpler words, people who are close to us are good and people who are not so important are bad.Whereas it can be completely the other way around too.Coz every person is an individual and has his or her own set of logics and mindset which could be correct in his or her own way.The factor which decides the fine line between right and wrong cannot be drawn accross the world on the same latitude.Every person has his own definition of good and bad.And the most interesting fact is wether a person decides to do the good or bad thing even after realising the difference.The choice too depends largely on the individual.So even if a person knows what is right and wrong, or bad and god, it doesnt necessarily imply that the person will choose to do the good thing only.Considering all the complications and the huge number of people related to us and around us, I personally believe that the best and infact the easiest way to live would be follow a path in life so as to atleast not be bad to someone if not be good.And if you can be good, nothing like that.Here again,I personally cannot advice anybody to behave in a particular fashion or manner coz it really takes an entire lifetime to actually do it.Quiet a way to go yet!!!
