Honore de Balzac
This Quote is given on the first page of international fame novel " Godfather". In India alone , there would be more than 100 Movies influenced by the aforesaid Novel. This alone speaks the mass appeal & popularity of that fiction. However , that Balzak Quote strikes my mind every time whenever I see or listen or read about the huge amount of money or about great fortune in possession of anybody. I have thought thousand times about the veracity of the Balzac statement and every time I feel convinced that statement is hundred percent accurate in all circumstances. Today when listening the News at NDTV by Vinod Dua , I loved his statement on the One lakh Crore fortune un-earthed in a south Indian Temple. Thanks God in India still there are such persons who dare to speak truth without any fear , biased and influence.
It is the most interesting part that behind the thick curtain of religion , even in this century , which is called age of information such mysteries of great fortunes are being un-earthed. No one dares to question the dictates of religion , which helps fortune hunters to camouflage their great fortunes . I am afraid that even education is failing to remove the curtains before our eyes. We may be timid or afraid to raise our voice. Even today we are governed by the thousand years old custom which was called " Tribal loyalty " to day we give it another name but at the end our actions are governed by our tribal loyalty. Truth , fairness , honesty & all such words are simply for Books and not for practicing .
But what is truth , where it is ?
What is the fate of truth ? Churchill said it beautifully.
Churchill was, in his era, a main actor of internationl liers' forum. Now a days America is leading in misinformation and manipulation of truth.
ReplyDeleteAlso fortunes are found and lost since centuries ago. Mahmoud came to Somnath 17 times and each time looted big fortunes. India was called sone ki chidia not for nothing, and Kerala mandir khazana has proved it once again.
