Tell Apart

Its the right thing to promote democracy……. But its wrong to hand-pick  your  children as future leaders.

Its right to promote education…. But its wrong to get elected to the parliament with fake degrees.

Its right to preach religion….  But its wrong to misinterpret the Quran and opt for  jihad with suicide bombings.

Its right to eradicate terrorism….. But its wrong to drone – bomb your own people for its sake.

Its right to aid in finding survivors from a plane crash….. But its wrong to steal the cash & belongings of the deceased.

Its right to strengthen foreign relations…… But its wrong to abandon your country in the hour of ultimate need.

Its right to rescue the victims of a flood disaster…… But its wrong to pocket money meant for their rehab.

Its right to punish crime according to law…. But its wrong to brutally murder  innocent boys on the streets.

Its right to play for your country….  But its wrong to mint money at the cost of its  name.

Doesn’t everything mentioned above seem quite obvious?….. Isn’t it always quite evident whats good and whats bad?…….. Is it too difficult to understand and differentiate?

You’ll probably say no to the last question… but the answer is a big YES!

The thick boundary between the black and white turns grey when your value system is weak. When you do not know what is right or wrong. When the lust for money, power and greed blinds you. When you deliberately mutate into soul-less barbarians with absolutely no  sense of morality and ethics.

We teach so many subjects at schools and colleges. Even religion. But do we ever teach Values? Do we ever teach kids what decisions to make when confronted with these shady areas? Do we ever teach them what Success means in the Real sense?  Can’t we ever allocate an hour everyday in educational institutes to  instill the correct moral sense in the minds of our youth? Wouldn’t it be better if these kids would have the courage to say no to a bribe, an urge of greed, revenge, lie or corruption?

Wouldn’t it had been a completely different picture  if we could only tell the Virtue and Sin apart??
