The other side

Whenever we read a news or hear a rumour, how many of us will bother to analyse it and make out the amount of truth in it? To be honest, even am one of those people who would enjoy the article for the added masala and leave it at that.

But do we always take everything at the face value alone??? what if the person in question is someone we know very well? then we tend to find out more and know what is happening. But again how many times do we really think that person would have had a definite reason for doing that? Or rather how many times do we believe that our "right" may not be everybody's right? I can tell you that happens only when our right is everyone else's wrong. Or when we ourselves fall in trouble. That is the only possible instance when we can actually see "the other side" of the issue. 

But again when the person in question is someone you can trust your life with, then again even if you don't see the other side, you always know there is an other side. And that is the greatest trust you can give for someone. That is when you believe there is a right in that persons wrong beyond the damage that has done to you, even though you have no idea what that can possibly be..

For someone who can justify "ravana" in ramayanam, "judas" for betraying christ, he can justify any villain in his daily life.  That is there is always another side for everyone. Like it is said, no one is born as a criminal, it is his situations that make him one. 

Now the question comes why do we have to do that? why can't we just leave ravanas for their fate and continue living? The answer is that unless we are able to forgive someone for the wrong done to us, we will never be able to forget the hatred, and the longer that stays the more dangerous it becomes. Hatred slowly creeps into our system and will start affecting us making us frustrated day by day. And the need for revenge starts to show up. And then finally once we repay that old ravana, we become a new ravana. and that chain never ends....

So always try and look at the other side of things before you shower your anger on someone or else remember it is a "vicious circle"
