Humans are extremists. They are either mega forgiving to the extent that no sin is too great to warrant punishment or the most minor infringement is worthy of flaying the skin off the perpetrator. They idolize a person to worship or consign him to purgatory for nothing but nowhere are they most dangerous then when they go out to be good Samaritans with a vengeance, the desire to do good and be angels superseding all with disastrous results! When you go on jaunting on your white chariot cloaked as an angel of mercy with wings sparkling white and halo glistening you forget that lines are there for a reason and crossing them carries a price, a price someone else shall end up paying, someone who had no say in your good-deed-mania.

Sometimes you do a good deed for someone who doesn’t deserve it by any logic or criteria, say a colleague who resigned and disappeared for 8 freaking years and then breezed in with demands to withdraw said resignation. By no logic should THAT request have been acceded to, or regularized but horror of all horrors it was with no small help from the self proclaimed saints that abound aplenty with someone else paying the price 15 years down the lane! Said lady now junior in rank managed to pull strings in the land of the pure and get promoted out of line denying the same to someone who was ahead of her in line! The chap who was superseded paid the price for a sin he didn’t commit. The worst bit is the allocation of responsibility! Does the saint take the onus of what happened now? Of course not, here is where the ‘this is life’ logic comes in or even if he does accept some trivial bit of the blame the counter offensive of not being clairvoyant is always at hand. More bafflingly in action is the whole injured look when the audience refuses to empathies when the culprit accepts his sins, why the hell are we expected to condone a transgression because the sinner accepts his part in the play. Shouldn’t the next logical step be punishment or atonement rather then thundering applause of the admission and yet the latter is the so-called ‘logical’ response!!!!!!!!!

Suffice to say the wronged person is someone I like, a LOT and this makes it way worse and more personal as far as I am concerned. The utter incomprehension, which greets the idea of indiscriminate do-good being lethal, is something, which sets my teeth on edge and my blood boiling NOT that that changes anything. The world of humans as I see it is far different from how I would like it to be not that my liking or otherwise matters in the least!!!!!
