The little seed of sin

 

The seed has the potential to blossom into an entire forest. Similarly, little-little ticks and mites of tiny lies, small tricks, miniscule cheatings and puny short-cuts are the seeds of big forgeries and criminalities.

They look harmless in their tiny grainy avatar. But they germinate, grow and evolve drawing sustenance and nutrition from our ill-advised ego, the dark shade of survival through any means. The little mischievous opportunists get clandestinely cosseted in our moral fabric to eat it like termites over a period of time.

Spurred by an exorbitant spree of insecurities, the wild growth develops and takes possession of our persona. With the passage of time, small saplings grow into big ones. Bigger lies become tolerable. Larger illegalities don’t strike as vulgar and bad. They seem natural steps that one has to take in the name of practicality and convenience.

The seed hands over its potential to the tree. Becomes a tree. A natural evolution. The small saplings of immorality grow and cover the conscience.

So it’s essential to be mindful of the tiny seeds. Watch your little steps of short-cuts and tiny, selfish facilitations. It comes as an innocent child, but grows into a big bully and changes the course of your entire journey.

Among all your amiably performed squabbles take the pill of this humble advice on an empty stomach and go through the day conscientiously.
