This is one fundamental everybody’s life work on… perceptions
and yes, they can be misleading.
You, by ‘you’ I mean all of us, always try understand what
the person sitting opposite you is thinking and… it is then you form a
perception, be it negative or positive, be it right or wrong.
Our lives revolve around understanding what is going on
around us and amid this understanding procedure we tend go wrong at many
places. Like, we have always looked Ramayana from the perspective of our very
own God- the Great Shri Ram. For our ancestors Lord Rama will always be the
hero of the story-the protagonist basically-A character around which the entire
story moves. Have we ever tried to understand why Ravana stood against Ram? Perhaps
no. Or, even if we tried to assimilate what once happened in the past, Ravana
always will stay a villain. This is what we have been fed with by our mother,
father and also, our forefathers.
There are very less people who know that actual reason for what
Ravan did and that is-Ravana conducted all the bad acts, acts that were
condemnable, just to attain moksha. He was actually given two options by the
God. The first was that that he could bear the ramifications of his sins for
seven births. Or, he can choose to be, what we call, Danva and attain freedom from
his sins within three births. This is where his perception worked and he chose
to be a bad guy in the story and get killed by Lord Ram.
What he did was right according to him. But, we won’t
understand that because we have been asked to accept that what Ravana did was
wrong.
I still see people celebrating the day Dessehra
as the victory of good over evil and it is because they grant Dessehra to be
such. On the other hand, there are people who respect Ravana for his knowledge
and education. Whom to follow and what truth swallow…. This is your perception…
