All of us are living a dual life, full of contradictions, pretending to be virgin innocents in public and acting otherwise in private. We falsely show the world how committed we are towards maintaining the sanctity of human values, but....
But the fact is, interchanging between the good and evil at our own convenience, depending upon the situations, we're actually more dangerous than wild animals.
The impending course of action by those animals are more or less predictable in a given situation, but we, the modern humans, are absolutely unpredictable -- because, what we think we never say that; what we say we never do that; and what we do we never think that.
You know, how I realized it? Closely watching an enormous but well planned and fabricated efforts unleashed by one of my childhood friends for erasing his notorious past.
He could succeed in white-washing his dark past, replacing the black dots in public perception with glaring whites. And now, he is being considered to be a reformed personality who could successfully turn around the course of life events towards a meaningful destination.
However, who knows it better than me, it was not a spiritual experience that he acted upon but a necessity for making him and his family socially acceptable. Simply put: He fooled people and, in that process, he fooled himself.
Unfortunately, he represents the vast majority of global population who're successfully living a dual life: Knowingly, or unknowingly; intentionally, or unintentionally!
That's the way it is; so, please don't tell me that you're not a hypocrite, because you are -- in fact, all of us are! But I'm hopeful, very soon, we shall come out this domain of duality and start living a truly purposeful life.
