You cannot pretend to be fighting for a cause. If you that you will indulge in the same pretentious move to fight against the same cause that you had fought surreptitiously. Such persons, who ride two boats one leg in one boat and another in another boat, will go awry without getting the desired fruit of life. There are different colleges of thoughts that favour certain things as the formula to finding lasting solution to the pestering problems facing Manipur. Then others will have different views on the same matter. A person must have his views. Nothing wrong as long as it does not harm the well being of the society in which he or she lives in. A thinking man knows which side of the bread is buttered. This however does not mean that one should opt for the creams only. It is a matter of choice. But once you have chosen the path that you think befits your style of thinking and action there is nothing wrong with your choice as long it makes a blissful life. You can uphold the philosophies and ideas that strengthen your belief in your chosen path. All of sudden you want to eschew the path you had chosen to switch side to go along together with those, who belong to other side of your world and you start acting and speaking to please them though it may cause discomfiture to the onlooker yet nothing is wrong with that also. Because human desire is limitless. By being together with men and women belonging to different walks of life one can get clear views of what life really means. From talking to them one understands what makes one happy and blissful. You also can change the idea that you had evolved strenuously if it is for pleasing a section of the people. Nothing wrong with that also. But the path of life that you have chosen after seeing different ways of life must remain ingrained in your heart and mind till the end of your life. Political desertion and changing of colours has something to do with one’s inability to stick to a basic principle of life. Always remember you win the hearts and minds of the targeted group by doing the work, which the targeted group want to carry out. For instance, if you want to get a favour from the Government all you have to do is to take up the programmes for the poor and needy people. If you do that the Government eyes will be on your activities. Similarly when you clean a nullah, which is lifeless, you win the hearts and minds of others in your locality. If you utter the words that are not sweet to the ears of the men in power and you indulge in the actions hated by the same class of people you should not think of going with begging bowl to get benefit from the Government. In doing that your life style of being double standard is exposed. The job reserved for you and others have to be purely bifurcated. You cannot claim to be the representative of the two classes of people having diametric views. If you do that you will be called a sycophant. But you are not a hypocrite. Try to understand where you stand. Until that happens think several times before you open your mouth.
