TO
SURRENDER OR TO FORGIVE?
The latter
is a spontaneous expression of the aggrieved person when he is abused or hurt
by another person. But here is a case of Forgiving after a long lapse of time.
Bishop forgives the political leader for the abusive words “ NIKRISTA JEEVI”
used by the politician sometime back. Political party leaders always have dual
actions and expressions in their day to day affairs to win sides!. I am
reminded of the legendary “BAT” which claimed it to be an Animal & Bird at the
same time, showing the “Teeth & Wings”.
Politicians
also play dual role in their enthusiasm in sponsoring their ideologies to the
people and also to gain their stand in public.. They play different “Tune”
according to the situations. Now in the context of the declared policy of the
CPI (M) in the recent conference, not to have any contact or affiliations with
the religious Communities or Institutions, how could the leader himself visit
the Bishop to reestablish the good will and relation with religious leaders? That
too they sit around the dinner table and take part in Supper served on the
occasion? The last Supper was served on the Eve of Crucifixion! Now I think on
the Eve of next Election!
God the creator
only has the authority to Create/Destroy. Jesus himself drove away the Money
lenders and the business traders from the church premises by lashing them out
with a Whip. Appropriate action at appropriate time. That is what Jesus did in
the Temple.
In this
current instance of forgiving the political leader at a later stage, for abusing
the Bishop, I “Smell a Rat” and also I can foresee a “Skeleton in the Cupboard”!
Everybody must be alert…
