Path and destination



The first quotation we all learnt in our childhood days is probably, "man is a social animal." Although later studies revealed the fact that almost every animal is social in their own way. Human beings are called social in some particular meaning of being civilized. We all live in some kind of group and community and they immensely influence our behavior. We change our attitude and behavior accordingly to people around us. Our behavior is a result of external stimuli and internal understanding. But many times external stimuli dominate the understanding and rule out conscience. Our personality tremendously depends upon the society. Our attitude, our thinking, our understanding etc. everything gets shape according to thought of society.

Spirituality says that do not let external things tempt your sacred thought. Virtuousness is most prone to get tempted by ill things. It is like plain white cloth. It is more sensible to get a blot and being spiritual. We need to give extra care. Ill things, vicious thoughts possess characteristics of being attractive. It's their natural gift. They are attractive as they are easy and seem to be more comfortable.  We all have witnessed sufferings of good people, many time when we starts walking on good path lot of problems, hurdles fall all of sudden and in this fall most of us get broken down, in turn they quit the path. When we look at path full of ill deeds and we look at people enjoying on the blood and death body of their own brothers, we think they have opted the right path. Flames of our thoughts start to faint and is replaced by one different colored flame showing other path. In this conflict of two different paths, we forget that, it is not necessary that right path is easiest one.

Spirituality says; when it comes to choose between tough and easy path, one must always go for hard one. At the end of these paths opposite destination awaits you. Good destination is for people with great moral character. Margaret Chase Smith once said that, "The right way is not always the popular and easy way. Standing for right when it is unpopular is a true test of moral character."
When nothing is permanent in this existence then how the situation can be permanent. It is a well-known fact that after night, day has to come. Only a single moment is more than sufficient to change the situation and fate. A story about changing situation depicts the above said things and fills people with fresh energy making them capable to complete journey of their good thoughts.
