We pretty much hear this comment - 'Moron he was a coward, he didn't have the guts to face life!".
A guy or a girl commits suicide and this is the first comment we hear. Is there a different angle to it?
Or say for instance a person takes to drugs and this is the comment we might hear - He or she dosent want to take up the responsibilities of life.
Can we picture a donkey being over loaded with goods and made to walk and if possible it suicides.
The only explanation then given is - the donkey didn't ask for the goods to be loaded, where as the humans did.
He or she asked for the high paying job.
He or she asked for a family life.
He or she wanted the pleasure of the physical relation. Funny - here though - worth noting they dont have a choice here in India.
He or she asked for marriage.
He or she asked for the costly flat on emi.
He or she asked for the costly car.
He or she asked for the first kid.
He or she asked for the second kid.
The list is never ending... it just ends with out life.
The question then remains... Is, to err human?
Can human beings not make mistakes?
Can human beings not know the net outcome of his action although he has thought about it?
Has the very society, parents, uncles, aunties, priests, policemen, teachers, friends who "conditioned" every human being to do all the actions listed above told them about the outcomes of each of these actions? Hmm... but then the question remains.. why should they be blamed, why can you take up the responsibility of your wanting to marry?
But then the question remains - as a baby were you vulnerable?
Did you have a reasoning mind and could it be conditioned, could it can be moulded?
Yes - the inevitable answer is Yes and the truth is, these were responsible to mould, to condition : society, parents, uncles, aunties, priests, policemen, teachers, friends etc and etc.
Isn't it true that we, the new generation are more driven by rajasik and tamasik energy and that we are even ignorant of the Saatvik energy?
Isnt it true that we weren't shown the possibility of these 3 factors as babies which makes a human decide to quit life? To quit responsibilities?
So the question is - did the baby have a chance?
Is it right to load a donkey till the sky and expect it to still work? Do we see rationality in the donkey jumping into a well?
Should we say - the donkey is a coward, it couldn't face life? Or if the donkey drinks itself to addiction - that its not taking up responsibility.
So the question remains - Is he/she a coward when a human gets addicted, when a human commits suicide? Should we really say - "He was a coward, he didn't have the guts to face life!" Or should we think:
He was a human and made a mistake.
He got conditioned by the expectations of the society.
He miscalculated and couldn't judge all the outcomes.
He just got conditioned by the fact that human beings have to marry.
Or he just got conditioned by the fact that married people have to have kids?
