From the time i have understood the concept of living in this world, there has been a constant conflict in my mind regarding the path i chose to walk in life. The concept of "Pay It Forward" never felt like a practical one because of experiences that i have had.
What does "survival of the fittest" really mean?
Being observant of life, i have always come across two kinds of souls; one who would do whatever it takes to reach where they want to and then there are those who would sacrifice dreams to stand strong on their principles. Surprisingly, both of them seem happy in life because one is happy with achievement and the other by sticking to principles.
I have always considered myself as a shadow of my father, who perhaps is the most honest and disciplined man i have ever come across. However, somehow the temptation to mend my principles is strong enough to get me thinking of a reconsideration. People might say that there is always a third way, which i have never come across till now.
My belief is that glimpse of the smiling Gandhi has blinded humanity and probably given an edge to those who dont mind breaking rules to reach new heights. As i walk the lanes of this ever hungry city, majority of voices that fall on my ears are expressions of unrest due to money. In this race to excel in life, i hope the weight of paper does not prove heavier than a small chunk of muscle called a "Heart".
