An angry serpent shows its evil fangs just to defend her offspring. A terrorist bombs the railroads to get back his old freedom from the opposing force. Good and evil are not opposites. They are not even mere set of relatives. They are the siblings of the same mother. They spring from a single source. No, even this undermines their association.

It is the gaiety in the glaring goodness which garbs the attire of affliction to emanate as evil. Evil can never be the source of something good, but it is always the other way around.

Good and Evil.

"Ondrukku unava irukkardhu, innondrukku nanja irukku!!"
a nice saying.
Everything exists as one!, and based on our selfish ends, we deem it either as good or evil. Even the rains floods fire, even tsunami, is called a 'Natural Disaster', which i used to wonder why?
Dear Kasthuri,
check out Vibhutyogam in Gita
Dhyootham Chalayathaamasmi
I am the dicing of the deceitful..
so Says Krishna Vasuedeva,
(kindly note that the Pandavas suffered because of the dice-game)
as Parvati Says EVERYTHING IS KRISHNA!
SARVAM SRIKRISHNAARPANAMASTHU!
@ parvati :
1. I meant, its the in built happiness (probably a mis-directed one) in the good which clothes itself in the form of suffering to cause the evil. Generally we believe evil causes suffering. That's true for the victim. But for the person who commits evil, it is the suffering which causes the evil. The suffering is the difficulty he undergoes in reconciling between the good and the bad.
2. When you take an 'o' from good you get god. That 'o' symbolizes the origin of evil which God is devoid of.
Dear Kasthuri
Rocker of a post Dude..
btw, do check out my prev comments..:)
@ parvathi
thanks for adding more value to the post..
evil or good - everything arises from the mind..till the mind ceases to exist - both these characters would be there!
Dear Kasthuri,
can you trace the origin of the word GOD .
as you are doing this can you post on YOUR escapades in high school...
I want to see some humour on your blog.... can you put up something ?
SARVAM SRIKRISHNAARPANAMASTHU!
@ parvati : Thank you so much for your grand praises. I'll pass that to Him.
@ tj : Very true. I agree.
@ anand : I don't deny. It was just an attempt in philosophical writing. Or atleast I thought so :-)
@ krishna : Thanks dude. I have relplied to your comments there.
@ arjuna : mmm...interesting indeed.
@ satya : Enna pannaradu sollu...paithiyam pidichu paiya poranda poren.
@ anand : mmm...I have made a small attempt on a different direction. Lemme know what you feel about that.
I'll try to look on GOD.
Kasthuri,
As always can't resist the temptation to refer 'Summa Theologica'.
There can not be a single action in the world without a 'good' - nothing will happen, if the perpetrator does not bel. it will bring 'good' to him.
It is totally a different 'matter of mind' that what is good to one is evil to the other.
The example cited is 'fire' and 'water' - fire cooks food, water gets food - good and good - but water destroys fire !! good and evil :-)
Machaa are u the Kasthuri that I know from IITM?
