Introspection..
I have goals to achieve in life. What if I am not able to achieve my goals ethically, will I do things unjustly to reach my goals? What is more important in life, to have a piece of mind or to achieve what I aim for?
I have never tried to deliberately hurt anyone, but in the bargain I have had to sacrifice and bleed so much from within. For the well being of someone else, is it worth hurting myself and losing out on my goals?
Yes, I have seen people getting what they want unjustly. I have seen them hurt others directly. I don’t see them repenting or regretting at this point of time. Nor have I seen bad thing happening to them.
Then why is it that my conscience does not allow me to take the wrong path. Is it because I fear the existence of heaven and hell? Is it because cycles of life and death might exist? Is it because I fear my near and dear will be hurt because I’ve not been ethical?
What ever be the case no god will accept my excuses if I do not achieve what I have set out to achieve. As Ralph Waldo Emerson says “all sensible people are selfish”. I am not telling I will be unjust. I am telling I will prioritize myself before anything or anybody else. Nobody is going to help me if I don’t help myself. If I am not successful in today’s world it’s my fault not the worlds.

Hi D,
Humans are social animals!! That is the bottom line. We either do things for someone or we do things to people. Intentions may not always be to cause hurt or pain, they maybe simply to survive. However those of us who choose to live our lives honorably.... will loose out often on the small prizes, but when you look at the bigger picture, never ever forget to ask whose life is fuller and richer? Look at the quality of the life you lead, the people you surround yourself with and influence. Remember ...some of God's greatest gifts are unanswered prayers !!!
