The choice of such a thought provoking topic as my first endeavor in blogging was not co-incidental but intentional considering the selfish motives of some loved ones I recently witnessed. By now you may have had an idea about the topic of my discussion- The darker side of human nature. To put it in a more raw form we can say it is the part of our mind where Satan resides. The darker side that envies the better grades earned by our best buddy, the darker side that spites the brand new car bought by our neighbor, the darker side that is present in every one of us in suppressed form but we are unaware of. The question that springs in my mind at this point of time is: Is it always a negative attribute that creates only destruction, abhorrence, devastation. A bit of introspection and deep thinking led me to the answer which is an inevitable NO. Evil, although considered appalling and something from which we should lay our hands off at any cost, may sometimes turn out to be a blessing in disguise. It is a blessing when our best friend’s grade encourages us to get one and not just loathe about it, it is a blessing when we plan to buy ourselves a new car by our hard earned money and not think to obliterate our neighbors. Anything used in moderation will prove fruitful and so is the evil being that is present within us. Thus I conclude by saying we cannot deny our darker side but what we can try to do is control and moderate it in a way that serves to be prolific both for us and the society. As the saying goes “Man is the architect of his own fate”, so lets strive to make ours better.
