Chapter 1 - Lies

What is the biggest lie that you have been told? After hearing this question, almost everyone starts thinking about many things that your friends or ex-lovers have said. But let me tell you the biggest lie,

"Life is Fair to everyone"

Whether you believe it or not, it is the biggest lie. Nothing in life is fair. The different stages of life you went through, have you never felt life is unfair to you? Well yes, it is unfair.

People say that no one is born bad ,good ,high or low. Everyone is equal at birth but is it really so?

In my view, the kind of treatment you are getting was determined even before your birth. The children of high class people are respected even before they are born and the children of low class people are loathed at birth. The people who say life is fair are the people who area at the top and are enjoying the true riches of life.

Many people argue that the society has developed a lot and human race has developed a lot together. Life is fair to everyone. Everyone has the same chances. People who are recognized by everyone as the most powerful at this time are people who are the most qualified of this generation. Anyone with ability can reach the top. We who say life is unfair are just sore losers who are unable to swallow the losses we have due to our incompetence. Hmm…. Maybe…

Maybe I really am a sore loser who is unable to accept reality but I still believe that the reality these people talk about is not really the reality of this world. Oops.. I forgot . The world of the winners and losers are different. The rules of the jungle.. Strong takes all….. Might is right…..

Those rules still exist but unlike in the jungle there is a little more politics involved. Even in this day, the world revolves around the strong. People with strong political power, people with a lot of money etc. are the strong in this day. They decide who does what. They are the rulers. A person with power might kill a weak person and still get away. If you only look at Nepal, you will still get a few examples, rape cases from years ago are still pending, murderers are roaming free.

The rulers of a nation, the so called government says that law is fair. Law is for the common powerless people. But, is it really so? If you ask me I will say no. There is no need to think. Humans maybe the most intelligent animals but they are still animals. Everyone has the desire to rule. And when the people of a nation elect someone to oversee the law, the chances are most likely that they will corrupt the law. At least that's what's happening in Nepal. Actually, the laws were never fair. Now, you might say that if the laws were never fair, they wouldn't have been implemented and you maybe right at that but think about it. What does the law do if the overseer of law murders a man of low birth? Maybe he will get punished or maybe not. Actually, the person in high position does not need to murder someone. They have many ways to get rid of people in the name of doing something right. Many people are framed at all times of year. Money can buy innocence in this generation.

A piece of paper is more valuable than someone's life. Many people are willing to commit crimes for money. WHY? Why people commit crimes for money? Because they have nothing better to do.

Is life still fair? Some good man might be losing his life right now because he accidentally offended a person of high standard. Is that fair? Many people with money can get jobs at big companies but intelligent people from low upbringing are still jobless. Is that fair? The people involved in politics murdered many people and are now giving it a name of revolution. Something that had to be done for the betterment of nation. Does that even make sense? You kill the citizens of that nation to make it a better nation. More like to make your own life better. Nothing is fair.

People are selfish. Humans are intelligent than other animals but they also has greater blood lust, arrogance and many other negative aspects. I am not saying that good men don't exist. Indeed good men do exist. But Not many of those good men are able to become great or live a truly happy and comfortable life.

You must have watched the movie "The Dark Knight". There is a famous dialogue: "You Either Die A Hero Or You Live Long Enough To See Yourself Become The Villain."

That, my friend, is the truth of this world. Everyone says that good people will be rewarded at the end. That is the biggest lie ever. Good people are the ones to have the hardest life.

We try to reach the top ourselves and if we cannot do that sue to whatever reason, we try our best to push everyone else below us. NO matter the trick, fair or not, we dream of being at the top and overlooking the others. Ah, silly me Of course fairness exist in the world. Just not for everyone. Only the strong are capable of talking about fairness. The weak have no right to even speak.

There are many rules and different laws to keep peace in place. But I just wonder who made those laws and rules. The Strong of course. When you are strong, you can do whatever you want and no one will question you . The words in the book of law are just that. Words… The actual rules and laws are the strong people. They are the laws. They decide how the world works. If they decide you are a criminal, Then you are . You might not know about when you committed the crime but you did commit that and there will be proof of your crime. Because you are a criminal. The words of the strong are the law.

"One man's revolution is another man's terrorism." You might have heard this quote. And this line proves how strong are revered. If you win the war, It was a revolution. You were revolutionaries trying to better the nation. And if you lose, you are just terrorist trying to terrorize the place. The fight between two strong people affects a lot of common people and no one seems to care except the common people themselves.

Anyway, I fell like I should stop spouting all this non-sense because many people tend to get bored by this non-sense and I am afraid if I say anything more People might start searching my address. So, thank you if you are still reading till now. I you liked what you just read, then you might enjoy the story .... Or not..
