We Are All Inherently Honest


A few days ago someone stole my wallet in Bangalore. It had my PAN card, so I was worried about losing it than a few bucks which I had in my wallet. I flew back home to chennai immediately. The moment I reached home, I received a call from my landlord saying that he received a letter by a Speed Post. I rushed to his place and opened the letter. My lost card was in it with a note of kannadiga, advising that such important documents must not be carried in a wallet, returned my card. Luckily, the habit of carrying my postal address helped me to retrieve my lost card.

      This gesture had me thinking. The person who returned my card didn't return nearly Rs. 500 that were in wallet. But he returned what was much more important to me. Despite being a thief, he had a prick of conscience that made him return my document. This strengthens the belief that basically every human being is good. A Man is inherently Honest. Circumstances make him dishonest or an outlaw. That's why we must hate the sin and not the sinner.

       There's maximum in Buddhism, 'Everyone is the Buddha because everyone has compassion'. Yes everyone of us is the Buddha because we're all compassionate. That's the reason, the law of all over the world believes that no person is Irretrievably bad. Reformation is possible at any juncture, age and stage. Change of heart may happen anytime.

"Hate the Sin and not the Sinner, we're all inherently Honest".

Have you ever noticed the arrangement of sequins? (Sequin is a shiny disc-shaped material sewn/stuck on materials/clothes for decoration). Does it resemble that of a fish scale? Yes. So, this is what I have been perceiving. They are arranged similarly, follow the same pattern and it’s glittery. Apart from all this external feature, they have this beautiful phenomenon called Iridescent – showing luminous colors that seem to change with a different angle. Correspondingly is the perspective. The topic/object would be the same, but each person has different opinions/different points of view and when you see from different people’s angle it ...

My every morning starts with water and the touch of a gentle air. As I sway slowly to the rhythm of the breeze, my body shines brighter in the daylight making me attractive. At night, I droop down to sleep waiting for a better tomorrow. I am innocent, pure and symbolize true love, friendship, and cheerfulness. I put a smile across every face when they meet me and greet me. I grow and blossom with people whom I’m with and love me and if not handled with the care I wither and die.  Otherwise, I am fun, adaptable, happy and most importantly beautiful. My radiance spread wherever I go. Yes… I am Daisy Each flower signifies different traits example: roses – conventional and seasonal, orchids – elegant and worldly, lilies – magnificent and playful, sunflower – enthusiastic and warm and so on. Relatively each individual has their characteristics and traits which makes them who they are. When you identify yours, it makes you confident and helps you move on to a better and happy life...
