DUAL NATURE OF MAN

                                    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…
