TO REMAIN WITHIN one’s moral limit is subject to one’s traditional outlook. It would be horrendous to make such a person an outcast or ridicule such a person. For example, the homosexuals cannot be treated as outcastes for their behaviour. It is not sensible for a man to pounce on a woman at the first opportunity. A man is one who can wait until the right time. The traditional view that a man should break the finger pointed towards his woman is also not a male thing to do. Whoever thinks that a traditional girl should only sit with a veil draped around, nodding at everyone, is a fool. Sex is definitely not bad. It is a necessity. But the time and place is subject to one’s personal prerogative.

A gentle hug or a kiss (or mere touch) between two females doesn’t mean that they are homosexuals. Also this is not ‘Page 3ish.’ It is merely a sophisticated way of greeting each other. Same theory holds true with wine and fashion. It is thoroughly erroneous to proclaim a person who hates sympathy and is outspoken to be arrogant. Only those people who don’t have moral beliefs of their own can behave in a selfish manner at the cost of others. Such people have empty minds. To look into a dictionary for a complicated word is far better than making a presumption of the same; dictionary will only help one to learn more.

The German philosophers dreaming of a utopian world were appreciated, even though everyone knew that it was impossible to have everything perfectly in place. Perfection is a mere conception of the existent. To stand out of the crowd is one thing and the crowd standing out, waiting and offering you the pedestal is another thing. Therefore, pointing a finger at someone’s theory is valid only if one has an authority over the same. It is easy to criticize even Shakespeare without knowing the context in which he expressed his ideas.

When a journalist asked Anupam Kher about what went wrong in his relationship with his once close friend Anil Kapoor, he answered, “We shared too many good times to let our association go pedestrian with any comments.” “Et tu brute?” were the last words of Julius Caesar. This incident may help us form an opinion about Brutus. Some wise lady, who believed in Buddhist theories, once enlightened me with Buddha’s golden words by stating “The good you find in others is a reflection of your own, same with rest of the adjectives.”
