The Lie

 



Good things happen to good people..

Oh, what a lie.What a lie.What a lie.

In fairytales maybe… where the villain gets struck down and the kind-hearted peasant becomes a queen.


But in real life?


Bad people win.


They rise, they shine, they take center stage while the good ones sit quietly in the dark, applauding, hoping it’s their turn next.


Newsflash: it’s not.

I was raised on that lie.


Be kind, they said. Be patient. Be selfless.

 Do the right thing. And life this invisible, magical life will reward you.


But life is not a reward system.


It doesn’t hand out gold stars.

 It doesn’t have a checklist for morality.


It doesn’t care how many times I bit my tongue, forgave someone who didn’t deserve it, or cried silently just to not hurt anyone else.

No.


The world doesn’t work like that.

You know who gets what they want?


The evil.


The ruthless.


The ones who take without asking.


The ones who don’t lose sleep over guilt.


Because this system rewards boldness, not goodness.


Power, not purity.

Audacity, not empathy.

And here I was..playing life like it’s a fair game.


Waiting for karma. 

Waiting for justice. 

Justice?


No one gets it anymore.


They get what they demand.


What they snatch.


What they steal.

So here’s my truth:


It’s a choice.


You either make peace with that or you let this bitter world rot you from the inside out.


I am not good because I want something back.


I am good because I refuse to let this filthy world make me just like them.

Let the liars laugh.

 Let the manipulators climb.


I will stay good..but not soft.


Not naive.


Not silent.


Not anymore.

Because the biggest lie ever told wasn’t that good things happen to good people.
It was that being good is enough.!!

The Cup of Tea

                                                                                  You know, life...  Life has its own instrumentals,its own strange choreography. It doesn’t always waltz in step with our plans, and sometimes it drags us across the floor when all we want is to sit down and rest.  But then,  one fine day,  something happens.. something quiet.. something almost imperceptible… You wake up, and it’s as if the weight you’ve carried all these years has dissolved in the silence of the morning.  The grudges you nursed like old wounds..they’re gone.  The baggage you dragged through every moment..they’re not yours anymore.  You’re free. And suddenly,  the world feels like it’s made of color again.  The air is sweeter, the sunlight feels...

Through Your Eyes

Image
                                                         The world becomes so beautiful,vibrant and alive, when seen through your eyes.  How you hold the universe in your gaze, like a painter dipping his brush into the infinite colors of dawn.  Your eyes see beauty in the smallest things..a raindrop, a fluttering leaf, the way the light touches the earth at dusk.  Each moment, you see.. you breathe life into, transforming the ordinary into something extraordinary. Through your  eyes, the world isn’t just a place, it’s a canvas of endless possibilities.  How even in the darkest moments, you see hope not as a distant dream, but as the warmth in every sunrise.  The world is never as cruel, never as cold when you are  there to remind it of its hidden kindness, its quiet tenderness. Through your eyes, I see the wor...

The Myth of Law as Social Engineering: Idealism Vs Reality

Image
"Law is social engineering." This profound statement by Roscoe Pound encapsulates the transformative potential of legal systems.  Unlike traditional engineering, which constructs tangible edifices like houses and roads, social engineering through law seeks to build the intangible frameworks of society—justice, order, and social welfare. However, the dissonance between this ideal and the realities on the ground raises an important question: why does the law, envisioned as a powerful tool of social engineering, often fail to produce visible outcomes akin to its physical engineering counterparts? For decades, the concept of law as social engineering has struggled to gain traction. Several factors contribute to this discrepancy. The complexity of human behavior plays a significant role. Unlike physical materials, human behavior is unpredictable and influenced by myriad factors—cultural, economic, psychological, and social. Laws may aim to engineer societal outcomes, but their imp...
