Lies

We have been taught many things since our childhood. Sometimes it's school teacher giving lecture on text printed in books and sometimes it's our Parents teaching us the lesson of life. Most of time they taught us truth. But unwillingly and unknowingly, they had told us many lies too. Here are few of them:-

1. Hard Work Pays :- I completely disagree with this. There has been many incidence in my life where I have seen people doing the hard work and getting nothing in return. Just few months back, I was working on a project having a short deadline. I was sure that it will take a lot from us to finish this on time. Working late night and on weekends, we did succeed in doing so. My colleague who had done the most part didn't got the recognization. We were told to be awarded. It's been 3 months and nothing had happen. So next time when someone tells you this, you know what you have to do.
2. Everything Happens for a Reason :-  Oh come on, Since when losing things in life has been boon for anyone. Losing your mother or father in some accident had happened for something good? Oh yes, They have left their wealth for you to enjoy. Getting kicked out from job in recession is good? Why not, now you know that you were just a employee at your company. Your company is not your family. To much for just a realization, isn't it. There is a positive side to everything, but considering the same as good is not alright mate.
3. God is Watching :- Look at the population of this world dear. Do you really think GOD has time for everyone. Or has HE started recruiting others to keep a watch on us? :-) Got the point.
4. Be Happy With What You Have :- If we started to feel happy with whatever we have now, then there will be no progress. We will never go for excellence. We will live the same monotonous life. The motto of life is to achieve your heart's Desire and not to be happy with what you have.
5. Good And Evil :- Pick a single guy who has not heard stories of Heaven and Hell. What are they exactly. Hypothetically, Heaven is a place where you will land up after doing good things in your life. The place is full of good souls and Angels. Similarly, Hell is where you go after doing bad things in your life. A place to torture you even after death. Now If I ask you to define Good and Bad, what's gonna be your answer. Whatever you do is Good for someone and Bad for others. Who's keeping count of that. Keep doing what you think is good for you.
6. Life is Wonderful :- Since When? Life was wonderful when there was only Adam and Eve living in our Earth. Since then Life has been a continous journey of pain and sorrow with few light moments.
7. Society is Important :- We humans totally believe in living in OUR society. Why we need a society to live our life? What society gives you back? Nothing. We humans made this society according to our needs. Society needs us, We don't need society to live our own life. So, if you want to marry anyone outside your society, here the advice, Go ahead and do it. Cause even if you ll marry soomeone from your society, your so called Society is not going to pay your bills.
8. Patience Pays :- Time doesn't wait for anyone. Move with time or you will be left behind is the success mantra of today's generation. Impatience is the new buzz down the streets. What are you gonna do? Sit back and relax for the things to come out your way or to go for it full throttle. Over to you.

There may be more lies. It depends on one's prespective. My advice is "Believe in things which are good for you. All the rest are philosophical".


P.S. I agree that point 6 is debatable. Even I believe Life is wonderful and full of fun and joy.
