Who Is The One That Counts?

When someone makes a mistake or a blunder, there are two ways of dealing with the consequences: One way is pointing a finger of criticism towards that person, blaming and condemning him or her; the other is to feel for that person, appreciating and admiring such a person for taking a firm, upright and courageous position. They dared to embrace the possibility of both victory and defeat. I have witnessed the heroic and courageous stand both in India and in the USA. In India Mahatma Gandhiji and his freedom fighters fought nonviolently against the British people's unjust occupation and possession of India. In the USA, black Americans fought against racial discriminating policy and action done by white Americans. The black Americans under the leadership of Reverend Martin Luther King Jr fought nonviolently against the prejudice positions held by the White leaders. It takes time, awareness, devotion , courage and action to be free from the oppressors. It takes time and bold actions to attain freedom. Cultivating and practicing nonjudgemental mindfulness is one of the wise ways to fight against injustice. I am happy to join my hands with people who are marching for truth nonviolently and bravely.
