In armies all around the world, the major or the might is always right and its a must to obey them at any cost.
The forces are trained to say “Yes Sir”, even in the midst of a war, when the enemy is attacking. Yes Sir chip is fixed into their minds such that through out their service careers, these words become a part of their personality or their second nature.
Now here’s the irony. All those good looking, handsome Generals and Captains who are ideals of the whole nation, become flops in personal relations when it comes to making decisions for important occasions. These personalities are so used to be in commanding positions that they automatically follow the same pattern. The cute part here is their wives already make their minds before marrying a soldier to say yes sir through out their lives๐. This is how relations are built and trusts developed.
If we learn to accept the authoritative personale as they are, we might be in less trouble and more at peace. How ever there is a very fine line between obeying and manipulating.
Relations cannot be manipulated.
The reason I quoted the example of soldiers is that all of us are attracted to their life style and we all see them as our real life heroes. When ever a group of soldiers are seen on roads, children as well elders see them with delight and great respect and wave at them or salute them as they are our heroes and guards of our borders from all sorts of enemies.
On the other hand there might be a bigger lot with great wealth, authority and worldly possessions. But we or someone might not look upto them with respect or might not be willing to be close to them or even see them. They can be anyone. From politicians to landlords or even business tycoons.
Only those catch the hearts and captivate the minds whose hearts are transparent and it shows from their gestures. They mean what they say. There is no hard and fast rule of thumb to be in their company or stay in their presence. They’ll be your mobile mentors or teachers. What ever you wish to name them.
So the saying should be right is might instead of might is right. As very few people go reverse. Majority falls for the masses or big numbers and they calculate their successes based on large masses or big trends. Yet few think deeply as what to or not to do. Then comes the little group of trying be rights. As they don’t haphazardly follow others, they pause, observe and then choose their paths. It’s not easy though but at the end of the day you can sleep peacefully as you are not hindering anyone’s way or blocking them. You are walking on you own separate track. The mightier ones might not like you for this, might take it as personal offense but if they are might, they should have big hearts and open minds to accept both trending and lagging of the people. This might make a positive impact on the mob behind them as the small group of trying to be rights won’t effect them. I know it’s a fictional situation. Just my hypothesis. Most of our dreams cannot become realities.๐
The good news is that there remains the other side of the picture. Being ng on the right track or staying off your bigger group should not demoralize you in any way. Instead it should increase your faith in The Almighty Allah and this strong faith in The Divine Lord keeps us going on and makes us do the right thing. So just be right and don’t worry about being with a might. ๐
