THE PERSON WITHIN US

A cousin of mine recently narrated a story to me:
"A man, who was a criminal, was to be executed. He had twin brother, who was the justice of peace.
Before he was hanged, a last interview, of the two brothers was taken separately, and the same question was asked.
'Why did you become, what you are today?'
Both the brothers answered the same answer:
'With a father like that, what else could have i become!'
Their father was a CRIMINAL, and had been hanged to death as well.



i truly believe in the moral of this story.” it’s us who make the society, and not the society who makes us" and those who believe other wise are on the wrong path, in my eyes.
I’ve often found people blaming others for their own misfortunes, making excuses, for coming late, not doing a particularly important work, blaming others in a fight or in an argument, and not one of them ready to accept his/her own faults.
how often we hear the likes of:” it was his/her fault..........." or it was because she/he................" and how less we hear these:"it was because I.................." and even less often,” it was ENTIRELY MY fault.............."
though it's very difficult to accept your own fault, but you will find, that in the long run, people who admit to their own mistakes, find flaws in themselves, and then do not just forget about it, but try to improve themselves, and despite feeling ashamed of themselves, never feel ashamed of their won existence, and have the power to believe and pursue, are the ones, who EXCEL.
the ones, who blame others for molding them into what they are, who feel embarrassed of their own selves, but are not ashamed of what they are doing, are the LOSERS of the society.
Keeping a positive approach and looking at both sides of the picture, and then deciding for the brighter one, is, i feel, the KEY TO SUCCESS.
