The primary rule

Human beings enjoyed and loved, being true to each other. By being truthful, they were free and weren’t restricted to any rules and regulations. ‘Being true to oneself and to the society as a whole’, is the primary rule of our living and prolonged sustenance. Slowly as time passed, some began to show signs of selfishness. They aimed at only acquiring, thus leading to jealousy, robbery and envy. The development of technology in all fields also added to it. Consequently, truthfulness was slowly becoming extinct causing world wars, depletion of many lives and resources. But at the same time, a few still retained the virtue of being “truthful”. For them being “truthful” meant to be in existence and anything apart from it meant non- existence, because to be truthful is in one’s very essence of living. Many of them in the past and even at present beat witness to this staunch belief.

Mother Teresa

The truth of reality is that good people of excellent caliber continue to live, so as to guide others who have gone astray. Mother Teresa is another eminent personality who changed the outlook of the world by her humanness. She was a Loretto Nun from Albania , her encounter with the poor, sick and forgotten people of Calcutta caused her to be truthful to these very people. This realization set her free and she began caring for the poor, sick and the forgotten. She was truthful to herself and to those whom she nursed and cared for. Those who witnessed her, joined hands with her in forming the ‘Missionaries of Charity’. Mother Teresa knew that “to be truthful was to be human” and her commitment to be truthful to her work won her many hearts and appreciations across the globe. By recognizing one’s essence of being truthful, one comes to the realization of being human.

He faced all his difficulties and hardships not with bloodshed but with silence, peace and awareness i.e. the non-violence movement. He knew his creation was not to cause destruction but construction of lives and he was true to it. The moment he realized any violence being cause by his party, he immediately withdrew from that movement. His truthfulness drew his concern towards his countrymen and women who were being exploited by the foreigners. Eventually, his truthfulness projected his humanness. He felt their pain and struggle and as a result revolutionized himself from being a barrister (wearing a coat) to a freedom fighter of peace (wearing a dhoti). Symbolically, Mahatma Gandhi wore the dhoti as a sign of freedom and oneness with his countrymen and women. Gandhiji realized that “to be truthful is to be human” and with this firm bel...
