Hello readers

Hope you all are doing well.

Even the most ugliest will be liked for their character and the most beautiful can be hated for the same character,only good character matters.

 Jose had come to meet her friend Jennifer who had just graduated from Howard University after a long break of five years.

“Come on let’s go!” we are late exclaimed Jose to her friend. So they just booked a cab as they wanted to talk as they reached the movie hall.

After the usual reels the movie began:

It was an old school story about societal complexities, actually it was an old school cowboy movie shot in the open heaths of red dog city a fictitious place created for the movie.

Well it was a long film and it finally ended, as the two friends were on their  way back home they were discussing about the movie.

The story was about a small tribe fighting for its rights who were always persecuted by the white men at time when apartheid was deeply prevailing.

Majority of the people in tribes were scared about their so called “masters” who would hire them as slaves in the future, but the movie was inclined on two people a young lady and her husband who were rock solid till the end of the movie and bent upon not getting harassed because of the color of their skin! and finally they get their freedom for their entire tribe.

“Jose what do you think in this modern society you think it easy to be firm as the couple on our decisions and we maintain a single character or people call it personality in front of almost anyone and down the timeline”? Asked Jennifer.

“So you think I have changed through the years”? Asked Jose in a lighter tone. “Well I was talking about the movie!” laughed Jenny.

“Yes on a serious note I would say yes in this modern times and changing value-culture society I would say sometimes we need to travel with the tide, well definitely up to a level”.

“I partially agree with you though not completely” replied Jennifer.

“Why”? Asks Jose who seeked a clearer explanation.

Jenny explains:

“I don’t care in what time or dimension, era we are in but I can tell you that we are all born with a character and I feel we need to maintain that and show our opinion which is a reasonable and fair one to the situation, on the contrary I would like to you tell you that suppose someone was born with a sadistic or a kinked character there is every need for him to change it and he should change it for the sake of his own good. But if you were already among the few good men who stand on your opinion there no need for you to become a chameleon at times just to impress someone let it be your boss or your wife then I would admire you!

A person with a character may sound shrewd and negative but after while or may be years people who mocked at him, disagreed with him, thought that he was unworthy would appreciate him and the only reason they do so is for his oddity.

I see people who always keep saying their lives change personally, privately and publically at certain moment in their life! But I feel it is up to them how they manage it or just crib and feel helpless about it! Their lives would not change .

I am very strong in  saying no if it does not match my value system no matter who comes and goes in your life you need to have your own individuality and your say, and should definitely have a personal where you have some space for yourself, it is actually need for your soul is what is told in an old Buddhist custom.”

Jose was impressed by the answer given by her friend and happily agreed to it.

We should always be pure in our hearts and think without a haze or wearing a disguise and just portraying a person which you are not! as a result of doing that one day you could end up in a valley of dissatisfaction or repentance as you just gave up your character! for what so ever reason.

Take care and thanks for your time.
