Fairy tales- with a no ending..

Every story consists of 4 main characters:
- The good fairy
- The unintended victim
- The wicked fairy
- & the remaining supporting cast
Everybody in the world, even the people in the story for that matter, identify themselves with either the good fairy or the hapless victim..
Seriously???
Where do we get off thinking that way?? What if you are not one of the 2 main characters & turn out to be the third?? What then if you refuse to accept that you are the third character?? Upto what extend will you keep doing whatever you think is right and as long as you completely believe that it is for the good?? Or will you continue doing it just because you think that you are the victim??
Will there ever be a time when one realizes the wrong from the right?? And if you don’t - where do you draw the line??
What will it take for it to hit you in the face and say- wake up!! You’re screwing up!!
So, what then does it mean,- since you did something wrong, that you are a bad person??
And what does happen when you do realize the wrong??
This world is unfortunate or rather twisted:
We are taught forgiveness- which we don’t actually practice..
So when the bad guy, actually decides to stop and repent- we wish it to perish & we inturn deny its very existence..we choose to completely shut these repenting people out of our lives. Yes...we would have made claims to forgive, at the same time we would alienate them. Its what we want, its what we think is the better way of forgiveness
The repenting soul, now has to disappear(in an exaggerated manner) has to restart his life from scratch!! Exciting isn’t it???
To all those characters who unfortunately fallen victim to their unknown wicked strait – what exactly is the motivation for you to turn the other leaf…
- Is it – that u now believe that you get a place in heaven
- Is it- ur effort to make the world- ur world- a better place?
And of course my all time favourite- because it is the right thing to do…. Yea right and I am mother Teresa!! Whether one wants to accept it or not, but every one of us are in some way or the other- selfish. Otherwise we would have been saints then!!
So I guess the big question here is – why do we strive to not be the bad one? Why bother? Why just not let it be? I once read- inorder for the things to change around you – u need to be the 1st to change.. so y not? So y is it that when your willing to give up everything to change, the world around you so stuck up about it so resistant about it
Lets face it- fact remains that deep down no one actually is a bad person (unless ur a psychopath). We are all driven by our emotions which inturn are influenced by the circumstances driving them.making us do what we want to do, take the choices and decisions that we take..
Then again- y are we so hard on the rest for the choices/decisions everyone else makes?

  1. whoa! thats a lot of thought, lots of questions which stand a sub minimal chance of receiving any honest answers, and a fantastic way to spin it all in a manner which sets the ball rolling...
