We talk about greatness of people and how effective they are But the means and methods used are not to be ignored Some great people will go down in history using terror, intimidation , threats to keep opponents in check We may like to call it skill, but it is downright meanness Immediately after demise everything is painted rosy but time will alone entomb their legacy for posterity good people and bad are soon forgotten if they have been cunning and treacherous All greatness assumed will buried with them or cremated sooner then expected People in position and power wield false respect and exaggerated appreciation because they are in position of authority to ruin future and rise or ascendancy in society Many in the past have been reduced to inconsequent status and live not in minds and hearts of people but in forgotten pages archived as history Walking over the misfortunes of others creating such situation to humiliate and decimate adversaries is but authoritarian streak of some When not in position or power your worth and that of wonders you believed you created impacting life of others with arrogance are bound to cast into oblivion of history The truth will last longer than lies as curses and hatred will follow you to the grave It is not what you think will make you indelible but how sincerely and meaningfully you have touched lives of others those of whom cannot praise or repay in any form Your worth after passing away will rest on how you have been perceived by majority not minuscule minority who are your.cheer leaders You will turn into your grave realising that you have deceived not only unsuspecting poor souls but yourself and your conscience if you have one Farewell friend you have been paid by the same coin you used to measure others. God retires some early and to others he gives extension so they suffer here itself and not on the next world At times we feel invincible to be touched by human hands and power It is at this time God steps in to lay you to rest and close your fanciful glorious innings of deceit Should I say more not now it is enough for you can neither harm hurt others nor they can too Your memory will last shorter than creamation or burial ceremony Nelson Lopes Chinchinim Sent from my iPhone
