Don’t play with the principles

No compromise on the principles .

By Seemab Gul Published 2 months ago Updated 2 months ago 3 min read

I strongly believe that in all the principles of life ,honesty is very important and key to the best character development . If we break one of our own moral rules, it becomes easy to break them from time to time.Alex was a school going boy ,he was a pure ,honest and obedient child never ever indulged in any sort of disobedience or dishonesty.Whenever he stood before the beautiful blue waves of sea he found himself purer and stronger .He always remembered the saying of his late father,

“if you fall for getting one thing, you may fall for any thing.”

Meanwhile his mother met a poor health losing disease and gradually she was decliningAlex was in a great distressed condition because he could not afford another loss after his father, but unluckily he had nothing to spend on her mother’s health, anyway life was moving on ,day by day exposing the bitter realities.One day he met his old fried Jack in a luxurious car ,carrying himself in the best outfits and foot-wears.

Now the second phase of his life started when Jack told him his short journey to become millionaire.He told him that he earned this by availing of every possible opportunity, principles never gave me good clothes, shelter, food or any other facility of life ,so he continued his journey to earn by hook or by crook .

“So my dear ,you are not only to listen to your conscience will but have to pay the bill”.Jack said.

Jack was in a strong opinion that our moral rules change with our necessities and compulsions ,he offered him a beautiful job with a great package to transfer some illegal material by dodging officials and authorities .Alex was in a dilemma ,

“to be or not to be”.

His conflict was increasing, there was a distance of ten feet between rags and riches.He went home and was pondering over whole night ,could he do what he did not like? ,all his problems have one and only solution i.e money.So he decided and slept calmly.

Next morning he met his old friend ,Jack.Meeting was over within two minutes and Alex was again on the sea side before the beautiful blue waves ,inhaling,exhaling in the fresh air ,remembering the quotation of his father,

“if you fall for getting one thing ,you may fall for any thing”

, he thanked his late father who was showing him the right way even from the life hereafter.He found himself purer and stronger.He was happy with his little income but much learning i.e how to be a good and better individual now .

With the origin of life on the earth, there is a continuous conflict between good and evil, we have Jack(evil), Alex (good)and his late father(conscious) within ourselves.Like our other physicsl, mental and spiritual aspects ,our moral rules also change.With all the modern technology and evolution of thousands of years ,we are not willing to change our code of conduct.As we are listening since our childhood that , “law makers are the real law breakers”

,it is appropriate for them but we are also responsible anyhow ,compromise is fine but never on the basic principlesof life.we grew up reading stories about principled and idealistic people who even gave up their lives for their moral values and honour.According to this ,you are either the hero like Alexor the villain like Jack who forgot about the basic moral and social values and made compromises.Often poverty ,unemployment and fame are the main causes of falling down means compromising .This is hundred percent correct that it is difficult to compromise for the first time ,we feel ashamed,we hesitate but with the passage of time,it became a routine matter but I strictly believe,

“if you fall for getting one thing ,you may fall for anything”.

    I think the morale of the story is that honesty wins and parents words children never forget and always help them through thick and thin. Concluded by my aunt.

  • I never compromise on principles and never want anyone else .
