Sometimes when you focus on something too long, you will start to lose your concentration and drift away. I am one of these people. And when i drift off, a spectrum of thoughts flashes into my brain. And these thoughts and\ or sometimes questions are usually philosophical. Example: "Jealousy is the lock that closes your heart and soul; understanding is the key that opens the vile lock." Simple, yet so powerful in laying the message across.

Morals that we learnt are stuck in our heads almost all the time. Good teachings and noble deeds are found, read, seen or heard every now and then. But, knowing them is so easy, but abiding by them, is so hard. I am sure every one has problems being morally upright ALL the time. Sometimes the nature in all of us seems to override these inculcated values. Dont you feel the rising anger, frustration, jealousy forming inside you when someone does better than you, or gets the things you so badly wanted? This example confirms this, i hope.

A boy had passed his test with flying colours. A classmate, ( i hope) who has been inculcated with moral values, is a born genius, but today's unexpected defeat angered him. Jealousy and bad thoughts started to fill his head, "deleting" all the good thoughts he has been brought up with. And as the saying goes " eyes are the windows to our inner self" ,his thoughts were seen clearly, right through like an X-Ray. His eyes changed into a nasty glare but then it quickly disappeared as the other classmate glanced at him. A serene mask was quickly put on ( by the jealous classmate) as he rose from his seat and congratulate the elated classmate. However, the handshake given was rather soft and lukewarm, and the words took quite some time to form out.

Maybe this example was not really clear in its meaning\coda ... anyway what I'm trying to reiterate is that we all go against our morals sometimes ( as mentioned before) . So nobody's perfect. And one more thing. Jealousy is the worst human fault. Seriously. Disagree if you must, but this is just my philosophical views on human nature. Thats all.
