This happened a couple of days back while I was traveling in a Mumbai local. It was the evening time and the evening was no different. A train overcrowded with people! As the train approached my destination station, there was suddenly a rush of people for both, boarding and de-boarding the train. Squeezed amidst the people as i tried to leave the train, i couldn't do it, with the intensity of flow of people into the train far exceeding the propensity of people to move out. Amidst all this, kicked like a football from here to there, it was seemingly getting more and more impossible to get out of the people's ocean. Sensing me in a state of trouble, the people's ocean, all of a sudden, started to wave me out to the shore of the platform. I could feel a gush of people pushing and willing to throw me, or rather push me out of the train; which, on any other normal day, had seemed a barbaric act and had called forth a thousand uncalled-for words and expressions in my mind. But the same act appeared so kind and tolerant that day though i was out of my mind for a couple of minutes after being the rope for the tug-of-war. Thankfully, i was out of it but into a state of mind that triggered a thought, "Is it that bad to be Bad?"
At times in life, we have to be bad and take the harsh route to make it 'all-good'. After all, you can't be good to all the people all the time.
Be bad! But always make sure that your badness doesn't becomes a reason for someone's sadness. Know very well, 'When to be bad?' and 'How to be bad?' and we'll all end up with good things in life!
Be Bad, not rude
if u don't make ppl sad, you r not bad.
ReplyDeleteAgreed sandy. Making them sad may trigger some positive response in people for their own good. I meant, making people sad over a longer period of time.
