all in the race

After really long time, I was behind the steering wheel. I was stuck in the traffic and I couldnt resist the temptation to get irritated because I was driving. But I tried not to. Like all, I too was racing for time. Despite starting well in advance, given my track history of keeping on time, I was behind the schedule. Near the traffic signal, in the nick of time where a lot of things happen. That too in split of a second. I've been told, taught and also its law to stop the moment red light is on. The amber light gives us a hint red is on its way. Still, some people ignore it and try to squeeze themselves and feel so good about it. While some promptly stop and wait for the green light to turn on.

I had this big question running on my mind for quite sometime. Which is, while some people live a life of values, truth and morals and others dont, in the end (according to me is the death) the one who has lived the life of truthfulness will score more and he is the winner in the race. As I grew up, when I saw people who despite not living a life in the right way (again right way is entirely how I perceived it as right) not having any problems did not fall in the 1st logic that evild gets punished. Yesterday, I was relating everybody else's commute itself to the journey of life, . While some stick to rules others dont. They may win momentarily but in the end, when they look back at their journey the person who has jumped signals know it, his journey was not the right one while the one who stopped at all and followed rules is the real winner. In the end, it just matters to the self and one is answerable to self alone. I got my answer.
