How despicable can we get...!!

When we cheat someone...who are we actually cheating...??This is an important question that one should be asking to the self more often specially in the present times!I agree that in this fast moving world around us, I am talking about the wonderful-corporate-world here, where at every step one is forced to perform to stay in the race, the temptation to deceive may sometime overrule all the moral teachings for a moment.But then is it not our duty to overcome that and controle our minds for that moment!??

One instance:

One fine morning, employees of one of the top MNC are travelling through the Company provided conveyance. The conductor, probably an illeterate, is circulating a sheet of paper around so that the details of the employees availing the facility may be identified and the applicable deductions can be made from the salary.He doesn't know any employee personally,i.e, by names or employee IDs or the likes! Whatever one writes is the Bible for him!Now look at the degree of wickedness-two employees scribble some hypothetical names and IDs just to avoid paying about 500 bucks..!!And mind you they are the ones earning handsome salaries of around 20K..!!We wouldn't mind blowing up 3K to go to a disc or a club just for a night!We will convince ourselves by saying this was a need,there was a need of a nice break, this is not an extravagance...it's a necessity!Why do we behave so irrationally sometimes...??Why do we stoop the the levels where the others might find it difficult to call us 'human'!
A Completely different seen:
One girl about the age of 14yrs has been looking for an averagely build middle aged lady since three days now.The reason- she has to return the fifty paise she borrowed from the lady,one morning!

What a contrast..!!

Actually the question is...HOW this contrast...???


Till later...

Contrasts - yes, definately. But doncha worry... always remember, what goes around, comes around. In all good hope, those two probably will get their share somewhere, somehow!
