My Lifestyle

My Li(f)estyle If Yudhisthira* can have Drona* killed with a lie, Can I not, a small guy, follow the path I desire. With small lies it was a quick and easy try, out of the mess I saw myself fly. When I got away with a bolder and bigger lie, delighted I was, that I did not have to cry. These lie wins gave me instant Joy. Oh! I said ‘This is the Life of my way, that I need to enjoy’. Later journeys in Life got me pain I did not ask for, Marking wins I celebrated on lies with an unseen scar. My mind is forever quick and plays a ploy; So, I now always ask my honest friend ‘my Heart’, if Truth is what I am out to destroy. ‘When you lie, Truth you may cover, making the heart holding it suffer’, he avers. I stopped asking if Yudhisthira ever did lie, Truth as my path is all that I Aspire. PS: *In the Hindu epic Mahabharata, Yudhistira and Drona are some of the key characters. Yudhistira in the epic is the epitome of Truth. ************** Truthfully Yours, Sathya
