The Devil Inside

While travelling one morning, happens to see a man falling from his cycle, the reaction, felt bad for him. While few go and give him a helping hand, a kid seeing him falling starts laughing. What an oxymoron, same action draws a different reaction. A child whose heart is so pure, laughs at this. What is this, a devil inside?

Battle between good and bad or say good and devil has continued since ages. A kid, whose mind is a clean slate can laugh on someone's pain only when the devil is uncontrolled. Gives a sense as if demon the basic nature of a person. Devilish is the first feeling often comes to the mind. A kid is so pure that expresses, and he grows up tuning the mind and filter the feelings. The reactions no longer remain unbridled but are trained ones

In essence, the good and devil co-exist, it be heart or a society. The importance of good is because there exist something bad. Relevance of fair complexioned skin is because there is one with dark skin. Positive is so 'coz there is a negative. Sum up all and its a zero sum game. Little pondering shows these to be extreme words and in reality don't exist other than semantics. A good man is good as long as some better man is not identified. A lady is beautiful until some prettier one comes in picture. Nothing actually is perfect or eternal. Its just a matter of relativity, importance is only till the options are not sighted

How dull the life would have been if the feeling of being wicked never existed. The naughty kids breaking windows, eve teasing, giving excuses for the sins, flirting, adultery, stealing, frauds are all a relative forms of devil and just vary in the impact. A devil less world would have turned into a land of saints and could have even hurdled the growth of population

What differentiates a human from other human, or a civilization from a civilization is ability to decipher things or balance the feelings or say devils. Actions and reactions of grown ups based on sheer desires without foreseeing the consequences could be disastrous for oneself or others

The emotions by nature are so 'coz dont carry any logic but the actions are in the hands of an individual. A controlled devil is dangerous as it refuses to be suppressed. Need is to make devil a good friend. Know the devil, understand him and channelise him. Its exisitence makes ground for the good to prolifer. A little devil adds charms to life, makes it enjoyable

Next time when embrace the goodness, give a peck on cheek of the devil inside. The life just gets spiced up!!!!
