Incredible Lessons From Damned Teachers

Fratres! Three weeks from now, I will be harvesting my crops. Imagine where you will be, and it will be so. Hold the line. Stay with me. If you find yourself alone, riding in green fields with the sun on your face, do not be troubled; for you are in Elysium, and you're already dead! Brothers, what we do in life, echoes in eternity.
-Maximus, Gladiator

Some times it's nice to see people behaving peculiar to their characters and some times it's funnier to watch myself do that. When I see people making mistakes I keep quiet wondering how many times I must have done that and nobody questioned me. The concept of "if... then... else" is amazing. It shows simple ideas implemented as plans, worked on severely, repeatedly, worked with again, and again, unless they become trite and distinctively understandable when simple low level observation is made. It's difficult for me to make that observation on myself. I am more worried about how I am to the person I see in the mirror and toward those I care about.

I hardly took any rest since the time I woke up in the morning. And when I took some time for myself in the evening, I had my parents after me. I had to go out in the afternoon with a friend to give him company for some official work of his. Then it was necessary for us to fill our bellies. We went to a place that serves shawarma which my cousins tell me is a lot like what they ate in Saudi Arabia. The moment I reached home I had to arrange all the documents into sets and leave for my mother's office. We had an appointment with a charted accountant.

The bag I carried to mamma's office was too heavy - it had original papers from banks, income tax department and municipal department. I had to hold that bag tightly keeping an eye on every single move it made without my interference. Some minutes before I was leaving my house I to search for my glasses. I tried to recollect every place I went after I reached home. I searched in the place where I keep my watches, I looked inside the wardrobes, shelves, drawers, refrigerator, into the mirror, in the bathroom, freezer, on the beds, sofas, pockets of my clothes and every place I could imagine myself keeping them. I kept my brother busy too until I found them on the silvery metal of the stove in the kitchen.

Every person who makes a mistake has something to teach without his own will. Every person who makes a fool of himself is the one who teaches us how to keep our dumbness within ourselves. And those who can't make decisions for themselves by using their own value judgements teach us about the freedom and pride we can achieve when we learn to choose the path not having to emulate the masses. Even a flirt and also the one with whom he flirts, both, have something with them to teach us. They teach us what we need to stay away from. I wonder if I am missing something I may teach myself!

I am prejudiced and biased most of the time. I only try to do what I think is right. There are many people out their shouting their thoughts which too are overly biased and speculative. There are people out there always telling us that the sky is falling down. There is negativity pulling us backwards and stopping us from taking any bold steps. There are people who are also always criticizing the rulings of their own religion. Nobody is ready to take the responsibility of an advice they give. They don't take their advice themselves. All these people have something very important to teach - that we should never become like what they are. Being prejudiced and biased is still fine. What matters is what we do.
