The Criminal
I was thinking just the other day why are there so many love songs that depict the suffering of only the persons who are wronged.There have been umpteen number of songs that i have heard that have songs of love about how ppls heart was broken by someone else, songs abt how their love had been ultra pure and yet they were wronged, songs abt how they had to face deceit in their relationships.
What about the pain of those who know that they have hurt someone and cant do anything abt it. how abt the ppl who had knowingly or unknowingly caused pain and are repenting it. why doesnt anyone care to write something abt them, something for them. does anyone who has caused pain automatically become a figure to be despised? does that person cease to care for the person to whom he has caused the pain? does he lose the right to think well of the sufferer because the present suffering has been due to him? does he alwyas have to help the sufferer out? what if the wrong has been done unknowingly and now the perpetrator's hands are tied? what if he cant do anything to help out without inflicting suffering to someone else instead?
i dont know if there are any souls amongst us, at least in this "ghor kalyug" who haven't done such a mistake ever in life. imho, the suffering and the pain is much worse for the person who has inflicted it upon a loved one rather than for the loved one who bears it.

Hello, you write quite well, it took me sometime to read it over. I wanted to read it more than once. If I can pitch in some words from Hotel California, 'We are all just prisoners here, of our own device' No one ties your hands but you yourself.
My teacher said that the only route to redemption is acknowledgment, and an injury inflicted commences to be wahsed away the moment it is accepted as it is, in its full form. That is the distance, between the injured and the injurer, a nod of acceptance. You youserlf have to sing your song of acceptance, and the lyrics will redeem you. And am sorry to write so much, but what i couldnt understand is, what difference it makes whether its knowingly or unknowingly, the blood is on your self anyways, the only difference being, after washing up you can either run away and leave no trace except a scar on your mind, or understand why it pained you so much to injure that person. Beacuse as you rightly said its 'ghor kalyug' and we all are making mistakes n injuring people all the time, and am sure you must know alrady that it doesnt cause so much grief, that is reflected in your writings, when you have injured just any person. Finally i will leave you with a question my son, IS THE MISTAKE EVER SO BIG, THAT THE PERSON YOU HAVE WRONGED AND LOVE SO MUCH, CAN BE FORSAKEN FOR THAT?
if you feel tied up,there you go answering for yourself!if anything makes you feel tied up-be it a person,a thought or anything,u need to take steps to just loosen yourself from that association.feeling of being "tied up" definitely does not stand in accordance of your theory of "degrees of freedom".
a real good post,i must say!
I disagree with the second comment, no body can tie some one else, unless you give in to that bond, willingly. And I don't think the author mentioned the degrees of freedom theory to point out "freedom" rather he wanted to pose the question as to what "degree of freedom" is gud, imho, sometimes theres a feeling of belonging in being tied up, which every one longs for, once its gone.
