The Home Truths [295/365]

The past couple of months have been a spiritual experience. I have faced some of my most fearsome demons and come out unscathed.
Through much I've relearned some worldly truths, which I'll try to list here:

Fact: You'll always have atleast one bully in your life. It could be in your high school or in your workplace.
Truth: Tyrants and bullies never got ahead in life. Ever.

Fact: You'll always have another chance at life.
Truth: You'll need lots of patience to get that chance.

Fact: You'll always be alone at some point in your day.
Truth: You'll need to have the grace to accept your frailties when you are all alone.

Fact: No matter what anyone else tells you, you will need to make some important mistakes in your life.
Truth: Experience is good learning from bad mistakes.

Fact: Bad people get all the good stuff
Truth: Only true on earth.

Fact: Your ex always seem to be having a wonderful life after you.
Truth: Only the foot knows where the shoe pinch

Fact: Don't judge a book by its covers.
Truth: Always True!

Honesty Always Prevails

Has it struck your mind that no matter who corrupt and deceptive a person is, truth always has a way of getting the three count in a pin-down?

Now, I realise that I've spoken about how the circle of life ensures justice prevails, but truth?

Throughout history, we have seen many many instances of how people in power and out, have lied, cheated and corrupted their way to seemingly limitless wealth. But alas, not a cent was taken away from earth. 

This past week, we have seen how people who had an almost superhuman ability to amass wealth and appeared to be beyond the law, getting caught in the sticky arms of the law. While we all know that, 'Kanni'mozhi, and her croonies will walk scott-free in a couple of months, all thanks to the limitless wealth that her daddy has, but right now, she ain't going anywhere but back to jail. 

Daddy's girl, in much happier times

Ofcourse, she will still laugh all her way to the bank when she gets out..

Ofcourse, she will write a book and somebody will make a movie and make a couple of more millions but what rang the bell for me was how justice was served. 

In a country where millions starve because we have corrupt government officials who'd rather export subsidized food for an inflated price and peddle substandard food to the needy in our neighbourhood, the judge's decision to deny bail to the scamsters was a wonderful thing to read.

But, why must they corrupt?

How much money do you really need to live the life you need?

Have we really managed to create a society of people who have turned their conscience off?

If there is anything I've noticed, if there is something that will prevail across history, over barriers of geography and socio-economic rankings, it is the truth.
