Truth Trivia

Milan had been accused of money cheat by Mittal. Milan is also threatened of legal actions if he doesn’t pay back.

Milan seeks advice from his friend Ajay and following is some content of their discussion:

Ajay: what is truth? Did you actually cheat Mittal?
Milan: yes but you see I was in need. You can call it terrible test of time. But I never knew that it would hit me back in this manner.
Ajay: Are you scared?
Milan: Yes I am.
Ajay: Do you mind if I ask you what is exactly that you are scared of?
Milan: Loosing respect.
Ajay: Are you talking about social respect or self respect?
Milan gets puzzled with Ajay’s question and doesn’t know what to say(after a pause): Come on. Who has time to think about all these ideological stuff?
Ajay: So you say you don’t care about ideology?
Milan: I would love to care about if it helps me to escape Mittal without paying?
Ajay: There is no way you can escape Mittal without paying.
Milan: That’s the problem.
Ajay: Let me ask you to put yourself in Mittal’s shoes and imagine you’re would be actions if someone would have cheated you.
Milan: Would you stop preaching and help me to find the solution?
Ajay: Well, I suppose that is what exactly I am doing.
Milan: Really? Would you mind explaining?
Ajay: You would have to put at stake your time, treasure and go through stressful trials and tricks to prove yourself not guilty. However still it doesn’t guarantee success and you could be miserable if you fail. But if you decide to accept yourself and decide to grow then not only you will save your resources but the most important self treasure i.e. self dignity.

Milan seems to believe that “While journeying success is important and not the means of success” while Ajay seems to believe that “While journeying success is important but equally important is how success have been achieved”.

Each one of us has decision to make either to be with Milan or Ajay and our decision decides our quality of life.
