Does truth always win?

A Story by Om

A biographical analysis into the fight against injustice

Be it dealings at work, college or shopping - almost anything: there is injustice. Being dismissed from your job because of others plotting against you; being falsely defamed for something which never happened; people changing their version, lying, denying or even being poisoned by others. Why does the world operate this way? When will judges & higher authorities remove wool from their ears & begin hearing the truth? Innocent people are left on the lifeline because of other's cruelty. Is there really a God or supreme being who rules Karma - or is this all fantasy? Seeing people progress who perhaps are not truly deserving or worthy of their success...it's painful to bear. How to survive in this carnivorous world? How to reason with irrational people, especially when they are close to you. How to handle emotional blackmail? How to recover from the daily torture & wake up to another day filled with nastiness? Where is the hope when you are penniless? Who is ready to help? Just like anyone else, I too will leave this world one day...and either vanish insignificantly from existence or be remembered for the wrong (untrue) reasons. Who will be there to restore justice & clear my name, so that my soul may rest in peace...away from the demons who rule the world? Why are we born in the first place & our success is gauged purely on what manmade systems make out of us? If not up to scratch, people including our parents hound us forever...it hurts so much when people abuse one another. When will the suffering cease? Is taking one's life the only option? People say that money isn't everything...however without it, we're nothing: we're no-one. What a materialistic world we live in! Caught in a web of lies & deception which the conventional justice system is futile against. Is this the root cause for the birth of terrorists & vigilantes? Perhaps some are avenging for their losses or attempting a social cleansing, without realising that such events harm the innocent as well. In a way then, if this is even partly true, the common corrupt & dishonest man's actions sow the seed for breeding disaster & bringing harm to our society. What a vicious cycle...how many eras will it take for man to realise this (that we are our own enemies) & work towards making this world a truly better place? A place where someone's abilities are truly recognised & not being compelled to dance to the tune of the narrow minded & artificial culture we are currently encapsulated within...is it really difficult to behave honestly & fairly?
