When I was a little child my grandmother used to tell stories from Legends. She used to advice to hold the dignity as a human being and how to respect other human beings. She used to tell that birth in human form is a divine gift and a soul goes through a lot of hardship to get a life as human and when we get such a birth we should lift our souls to higher standards.. She used to tell me that humans are different from animals and when you behave like an animal in human form you disrespect your birth as a human and you kill your refine inner self when you do such acts. You can not lift yourself when you show double standards in your actions and disrespect other's existence and when you do that that others will question back your actions and genuiness of your existence.
It is a fact that when you shower disrespect on others by attacking their human rights prepare yourself that you may get such treatment back. You can not hold double standards and win human beings. My sister had told me about a celebrity that once he had appeared in a TV show with family (with wife and children) He praised his wife to heaven in that show. My sister thought this celebrity is a genuine human being and sent a letter of appreciation to him. He called her in her office and talked and the very first instant itself talked ill of his wife and when he was in her town for an Ashram Function he called my sister that he needs some assistance for shopping and during that occasion also he talked about his wife with no respect. My sister could not take this and she was surprised at his behavior which was totally different from that of the TV fluke. My sister told me that these celebrities wear masks in TV shows and their real behavior pattern is totally different from what we see in public shows. My sister never entertained his calls further and instructed her receptionist not to transfer his calls and thankfully he called her only once or twice after the incident and those calls were blocked by her office friends. Interestingly these celebrities always think they get a lot of attention and they assume they can take anyone for a ride. These days we find this kind of silly behavior in the field of literature too. Celebrity Writers think that they are stars in their own limited world and they assume they got the right to take other human for a ride. And even my sister thinks men gossip more intensely than women folks as the capacity of men to demean their women counterparts is too strong and women in real need a lot of will power like that of a mountain to resist them. I agree with her that in offices I see men talking ill of their smart/strong women associates when they go to the cabins of their superiors even when they go for pure official work. These headstrong men do not have any complaints if a less brainee woman sits in her superior’s cabin for any number of hours. There we can see the lines in attitude on how we reach into our judgments.
My grandmother used to tell me that you should not judge others on your views. When you start doing that others will judge you according to your standards. And what my sister says at the end ‘never believe celebrities and their masks. They are not honest but always give an impression to the outer world that they are honest. They are always on flying trapeze rehearsing acrobatics.
