It is a tragic truth that most of the important lessons of life are taught by merciless teacher of time. These lessons mould the character of the subject so as to become more mature inorder to overcome losses. These are the time that reveal the depth of the subject so as to give specific judgements about their true nature.
Likewise when a few of close inmates of mine sometimes in intrinsic and normal time would swear eulogies about their commitment to me in the times of need. Once i had a serious confrontatation with college authorities about some disciplinary issue. 6 of us were involved in the matter and now we were dealt with one on one for confessions. We were given choices; some of them were lucrative others could jeopadise our career or life. Since for an indian male education is not only a luxury to fetch the societal status but also a serious method to earn a living and support parents just about to retire; the lucrative ones were a simple and easy option.
2 out of 6 broke down and gave us the other 4 a suspension of a week. No hard feelings for those 2 guys but they were then not able to look us in the eye for their life. I dont judge people on the basis of what they say or do at the times which are easy ones but if you want to test the character of person it is the hard times.
Those who are shallow and have problems to look beyond their narrow beliefs and false sense of self-rigeousness cum psuedomoralistic skewed viewpoints; they will never find true love and friends in their life. When you die all you want is one person near the death bed to tell you that you were awesome in your lifespan. I mean that is your wealth.
I can say that among scores of friends i have made some brothers on my own judgement and value system. They are above societial methods of dealing and they are staight in their approach.
I remember how we have dealt with our strifes and fights. We used to come face to face and say that i dont like this thing about you. I miss that straightforwardness in society. People will laugh and giggle; make commitments and then very easily neglect them as if nothing ever existed. But thats okay and i have learned my lesson.
