What is easy and what will last...

If a person is acting only, it cannot be permanent. And very difficult to keep on acting always, such a strain , no ? Goodness must come by nature,only if it is in the personality itself.

Dear Sriniketan,
some people appadi thaan irrukka, no doubt about it.........

hi srini,

What a wonderful thread!!!!!

Be good to all . God will do good to us.

God has created so many miracles for me .

If we are good ultimately God will do good to us.

HUMAN VALUES IS THE IMPORTANT THING IN LIFE.

sorry sorry for the late late reply to all of my friends here....( repeated twice because I am 2 days late in replying)

To summarise as a whole, everyone is of us has the opinion that one has to be good with himself inside and out....otherwise, one day, saayam veluthu poidum ( One day true color will show up)...

Brinda,
You didn't confuse here....it is those people who act are confused themselves...

Sharada,
Sometimes we need to act to escape but that will haunt us...that's the problem....

sunkan,
Everything lies in the eye of the beholder is true....I totally accept it...I have many incidents to prove based on my personal experience...
To get good qualities noticed...has to come from karma...true or shall we call it 'athrishtam' (good fortune)

Bhargavi,
Rightly said....foundation must be strong...so that all other good virtues follow to build that man....

Janani,
Let us be true to ourselves, free of guilt.....which will last forever...

Devika,
Good at heart must be cultivated from the early age....not only charity begins at home...seeds of virtue begins here...

Aruna,
They are double acting in life....they can also be called chameleons??in disguise...

swarnalatha,
Goodness by nature cannot be altered at any cost...true...

saikripa,
That's why it made me write this topic....veruththu poachu ( disgusted looking at those people)

Prabha,
thinai vidhaithavan thinai arupaan, vinai vidhaithavan vinai aruppaan ( What they sow, they reap)...is very much evident from your post...
Human values are the only ones that count....

Dear sri,
Let us asume for a minute that a person pretends to be good at home and not so good outside.He pretends to be good to his near and dear ones,so he knows that he has to be careful and he acts the good man's role to perfection.Over a period of time ,my dear,his pretensions slowly become his second nature ,slowly this good persons who
he pretends to be takes over charge of his life and my dear sri,the not so good fellow ,who was lurking in his mind and heart flies through the window.So, even pretending to be good is ok,so long as the person does not have a sheme to do a major damage to anyone.
A good thought provoking post,sri.
love

Thanks for stepping in Mithila...

Your reply reminded me of my mil's words, 'if you go on telling a person that he is good, he will become good'...
If there is no harm inflicted upon others...pretending to be good has the vote...yeah...
