On your Return

On one of my travels in a friend’s car, we approached the inevitable icon of advancement in highway design and finance – the Toll Gate. The window lowered, he passed on a 50 Rupee note to the Vendor, who promptly asked the recorded question – RETURN???

‘Padachonodu Chodikyanom’ – will have to ask the Almighty, was the response from my friend.

Which brings me on to the topic – are we moving in a unidirectional path? Are there opportunities to stop, and then procrastinate, so that one may retrace his or her steps in correcting something which at an earlier point of time might have looked different with the available data then?

Or are opportunities/chances once missed in the plane of the non correctable? Is that why we make attempts to ‘make up’?

If different situations at different points of time result in varied ideas of the sense of Justice, Truth and Valor, can they be actually considered permanent, or are these virtues Dynamic to the extent of being ‘Maya – Illusion’. At what point in time should one attempt to rationalize the concept of Justness? – knowing fully well that the ever changing values will render it unfit for such classification at a later point of time.
