Conscience calling...

dear blog

when you know that in the next five minutes, you can get five thousand rupees, will you try to get them? but when you also know that those would be at the cost of someone's career, would you still do it? what would you do if that someone is an honest,sincere, hardworking person? and what if you need the money badly?

my friends and i faced this dilemma today. we had just five minutes to decide whether to go for it or not. (mind you, I'm not talking of any kind of bribe). had we gone for it, there was a 0.1% chance of that person to land in deep trouble . at one side was my friend's conscience which wasn't allowing us to do it. at the other side was my mind, which was shouting- "this is the moment, seize it. we get the money, who cares about the rest?"

just at that moment that person, about whose future we were discussing, came out. he was ready to give us the money, ignorant of what awaited him if he did that. the paper which could have got us Rs 5k was in my hands. for a moment i felt like giving it to him and getting the money. but then i thought what if that 0.1% probable event occurs and he lands in trouble. i would then never be able to forgive myself. that guilty feeling then, would always accompany me wherever i go. so we told that person that we will come back him later. he might not have understood our actions at that moment, but when he does, he would thank us a lot.. but the only person whom he should thank at that moment is my friend- D , in whom we discovered a sea of conscience today.

dear Lord Ganapati
we did not do it the wrong way. now please help us out.
