Calling of a Lesser

In a village of long history there are a variety
of people engaged in many things initially guided
by the village ethics, as the villagers use
to claim often, of having a rich virtuous past
particularly when something real different hunt them.
Probably that's take shelter.

Among a lively group of kids
there are a claimed virtuous student and another hated
one. The later usually gets engaged in all unaccepted acts
including copying in exam hall, for which he takes
punishment. Once, he found the virtuous boy was
engaged in the same copying. He felt bad and told
the boy that was bad. But, the claimed virtuous one with
arrogance reminds the other that he is not having
moral authority to advise.

A thief has lost moral authority. But an ostensibly
noble loosing all sanity of ethics claims to remain
on high moral ground! Calling of a Lesser is always
a No Call?

Every man is a human by birth, but only at a right forum the mind realises it.

Very nice. Objective of the message is very clear. Glad to note the moral ethics.

Is it of Cong(i) blame game with Bjp - Pranab questioning the later's authority to blame.

Unfortunately it is the status in society that "allows" a person to "do" things.
A "good" boy can point out the faults in others but a "bad" boy's opinion is automatically a "bad" / "immoral" - "to be ignored" opinion.

If the words and the situation can be taken independent of the past of the entities in the situation, then the true value of the words can be appreciated.

Dear Sir,

A small story giving a broad view of prevailing differences. It is said that many of the things are learned at childhood. The teacher (can be a school teacher, a parent, an uncle or an aunt or anybody who teaches) should educate the kid in the right path.

Very few after growing realize, understand and change. The unchanged behave with the "WHO ARE YOU TO TEACH ME?" attitude.

A person superior to the other by way of position or cast, should respect the other and accept the suggestions if it for the good.
