I need to say that I agree with it, and essentially the most wonderful factor about it is that you left it open ended…this shows that you're prepared to attract in new and different opinions and that you are finally very interested to see people getting concerned in the subject. So, any various opinions? The closing paragraph tells all of it in my opinion.

Thanks for the reminder and the other stories. I've had a rough 2-weeks. I'm starting to feel better (emotionally speaking), but I still have some clean up to do. I read the story about the tree.

The mighty in the society decide what is right and what is wrong for the society. Just as parents decide what is wrong and what is right for their small kid. But each person has his own internal radar too. "The Sailor cannot see the North, but knows the Needle can." - Emily Dickinson You have to trust your needle - your instincts. You need to follow your own internal needle and not buck under peer pressure. Do You have the guts and the tenacity to stick to your principles and follow your instincts even if they go against the thread of your place of work / society / religion? Thanks Anupam for that rant and taking the comments to another tangent.

Is it the society which considered Sati as a rightful practice and continues to perform similar practices even today be it in the urban or remote sections of the society in one or the other form? Or Is it our mind that says something else and does another. It teaches us to work towards success using logics and practical tacts, no matter how much pain that brings to the people related? Or Is it our heart, that does not allow us to go on and progress because we emote and bend to sacrifice our own happiness for someone who takes us for granted? Indeed this heart is always caught up in an unending dilemma. Or Is it our holy book, that considers woman and animal as equal and advocate to treat them equally? A theft is a justified act for a thief who steals to feed his widowed mother but wrong for the family being robbed, which has no one to look after. Who decides what is wrong and what is not? The God, who never replies back directly and we misinterpret his words? Who will decide, I ask...? Who decides what is right and what is not?

A great part of the stick-to-it theory involves sticking to the right thing. :) Of course.

Watching others and trying to be one of them is no good unless they inspire you to be someone who inhibits divine virtues. We are taught to look at the downtrodden when we try to get monetary gains but look for the more intelligent people than yourself, when you aim at achieving knowledge and wisdom. I think I have made myself clear. However, contradicting the above statement, if we content ourselves with what we have, we rather stay than try to progress. We must be intelligent in a way that we know what we should adopt from others and what we should not, because unless and until we do not adapt and adopt, we tend to stay at the same point from where we began. Isn't it? Certainly !
