First time I am writing on this blog which is not a personal experience, in other words I would say the thoughts I am spelling is not something which happened with me. This is something my observation on the things happening around. I felt writing something on it.
The title of this post is nothing but an English version of great poet Kabir Das has said. Kabir das has said "रूखा सूखा खाइके ठंडा पानी पी, देख परायी चुपडी मत ललचावे जी " (rookha sukha khaike thanda pani pi, dekh parai chupri mat lalchave ji).
The truth always remains truth. Whatever Kabir Das has said in 15th century is still true today, and will remain true for the ages.
The point is that, do we actually learn from others or other experience.
Answer is : very rarely
Everyone seems to be so confident of getting the butter that they always give up their bread for it.
The is another another saying "More risk more gain" but do we actually evaluate the risk. Is it worth giving up bread for butter.
Anyone would like to take the chance.The problem is that no one evaluates the risk, and ends up with loosing own bread, They loose own bread in the desire of butter which never existed.
The butter is more the times an illusion, I have seen people to living in illusion world. They feel their imaginary world as real world and every day they are loosing their bread.
The point which jumbling in my mind is that .... why people do not evaluate the risk?
They loose what they have with them and walk always empty hands.
In the life whatever happens with us is only our response/reaction to the situation.
People are less bothered to take right decision for them, afterward they curse their luck not supporting them.
I guess this is not the way we should live. We should always first choose what we have, then proceed towards what we can get.
But there should be a perfect balance between risk and sacrifice for the risk..
But what is the equation for this balance ?
This post is not about lion, but resemblance of human characteristics with lion.
The Bottom line is "Never trust a lion claiming vegetarian." This is a true fact, a lion remains vegetarian until lion tastes blood.
The similar facts goes with human, If you observe something in someone, this might be possible that one might not have been exposed to particular situation for which you are considering one inappropriate.
You need to just go with your internal instinct, and believe in yourself than others, and always be careful on trusting on such claims.
It is my close observation on few people claiming many things, and reality which bites is that, they have never fallen in similar situation, so how can their claim be assertive.
Have you seen any lion that remained vegetarian after tasting blood? I have not seen any.
The exception are everywhere but how many exception we see in our life which are good for us.
Any unknown equation can not let you achieve the known results.
This is similar like story of scorpion and frog
"The story is about a scorpion asking a frog to carry him across a river. The frog is afraid of being stung, but the scorpion reassures him that if it stung the frog, the frog would sink and the scorpion would drown as well.
The frog then agrees; nevertheless, in mid-river, the scorpion stings him, dooming the two of them.
When asked by the frog why he did that when he knew it would lead to both of them drowning,
The scorpion's sorry response was simply "it is my nature."
It is the only nature of one which they can not change until they themselves are not ready to change.
The conclusion is only one thing, always be careful with lion, do not go on the claims of being vegetarian. Lion is not vegetarian. Always beware of real world's lion
