GANDHI v/s The MAHABHARATA

'An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind'....MG
‘Revenge is the purest emotion’.....MAHABHARATA
It is a very sensitive issue at-least in this country to set anyone and anything on fire if we go the words written in MAHABHARATA without actually knowing its core meaning that why it was included in the text. Infact what i am made to think is that this country does not need any topic to get provoked, it gets itself ignited. Well, taking our second quote by our Father of the Nation, MK Gandhi. He was the only of his kind. So, we believe each and everything he said and he did. As far as my personal opinion is concerned about this topic is that i don't know whether it's from within or what, but i have always felt the same that is conveyed through this quote if am not wrong in extracting its soul.
We often get carried away by what we are made to face in our lives whether it be happiness or sorrowfulness. Its true and cant be denied on the terms of being dishonest with yourselves. Well, happiness takes us to a virtual world and we are made to think and feel its warmth until we are hit by something meaningful or a dream-breaker. And once that happens, it incorporates so much hatred in our souls that it takes time to gather our senses back on proper functionality. The one phase should never be allowed to cultivate, i.e, the feel of Vengeance inside an individual no matter how bad life is to you. This would rather give you more strength and WILL power to act your deeds in a more rationalized and systematic manner later.
BUT the MAHABHARATA quote says its the purest emotion only because it is the first instance and reaction of your mind when your hit (that's how i have meant it to be). That is truly justifiable once you get back to controlling your senses.
Now, if we don't follow "an eye for an eye...." then certainly this world has not much years to live in. If we follow the perception of lowering our eye lids and not always confronting, would help to turn even your outgoing soul and settle things without being loud. But only to a certain limit. Don't allow it cross your peripheral or your comfortable zone upto which you can tolerate. Tolerance is the key here but should not become your weakness.
I hope to get many comments and personal views on this topic......do post on this BLOG.....certainly this is the REALITY CHECK! keep rock and steady.....
