Why the Good are always made to suffer while the bad always relish and enjoy life?

Did you ever meet a person who is always good to others, polite, responsible, hardworking suffering for the crimes committed by others?
If no, poor friend don’t worry as you are not short-sighted you are just like the 80% of the society who does not know about the existence of this rare species. They are so rare to find for they suffer in silence and it such people that the society calls “A bore”.
Some characteristics of the Good-bore people.
• They are always responsible (eg: keep things at places..)
• They are what others joke as super-clean (eg: they actually flush and wash bathrooms after use..)
• They always pay their share of money plus yours and always never ask (eg: week end friend.)
• They always never-ever are lucky (eg: the person who always gets caught by the boss for finding flaws when the flaw was actually caused by others...one who actually explains)
• They are the bakras (eg: the person you could go with a long face and who would actually defend you and get beaten up for it...)

The above is a relatively short list, preparing the exhaustive list is a Freudian task....
The above list would have helped you create a figure in your mind the sympathetic, respectful do-gooder, but they do have one flaw which the world never forgets to point out. A cardinal sin which even the psychologists provide as the reason for their eternal misfortune and sadness – they are all followers of the greatest preaching “Treat others as thyself...”
Don’t you dare to grin, you idiot is it a flaw? ..My God if you think so you are the criminal whose sole existence is the reason for the suffering of our good bore?
In retrospect think about how many times you have actually meet such a person who actually does such things you fail to notice and expects you to do the same, after all they are people too and they take pains to be good expecting that they will get that in return. They are not saints to do things without expecting anything in return.
Do your part and don’t grudge when they point out their intentions are good. These days people are fighting to save the man-eater tigers, don’t you think we should at least give a meagre thought about this on the verge of extinction people?
Next time when cross such a soul say a silent prayer to God for sending them... I am saying it along with my adieu.

The Colour Grey.

The other day i was browsing the many mails in my junk box, most went to the trash. But one mail caught my attention, the one i had previously deleted many times. It claimed to tell the character/mood of a person depending on the colour preferences. Under grey it read “Likes to take life as it comes”. I can already hear your smirk, yeah what’s new. Sorry! There is nothing new, everything is old but this association of colour made me think of the various things we associate this colour with, the most prominent of them being its association with one’s character.
Everyone likes clarity in life, “Good or Bad”, “Black or White”. Most will take sides. However reality is a long way from it. There are very few things in life that are certain, or so we think but most are uncertain and ‘Grey’. The colour which is neither white nor black. A state of mind in tender hooks, unable to swing on either side. A person accepts what comes only he is fed up, fed up of trying to be like others, fed up of ambitions and becomes serene as i was on that day. And Yes! I was wearing Grey that day!.
