Life is Not Fair on Anybody!!!


Karna asks Krishna - "My mother left me the moment I was born.

Is it my fault I was born an illegitimate child?

I did not get an education from Dhronacharya because I was considered a non-Kshatriya.

Parshuram taught me but then gave me the curse to forget everything since I was a kshatriya.

A cow was accidentally hit by my arrow & its owner cursed me for no fault of mine.

I was disgraced in Draupadi's swayamvar.

Even Kunti finally told me the truth only to save her other sons.

Whatever I received was through Duryodhana's charity. So how am I wrong in taking his side?"


Krishna replies,

"Karna, I was born in a jail.

Death was waiting for me even before my birth.

The night I was born I was separated from my birth parents.

From childhood, you grew up hearing the noise of swords, chariots, horses, bow, and arrows.

I got only cow herd's shed, dung and multiple attempts on my life even before I could walk!

No army, no education.

I could hear people saying I am the reason for all their problems.

When all of you were being appreciated for your valor by your teachers, I had not even received any education.

I joined the gurukula of Rishi Sandipani only at the age of 16!
You are married to a girl of your choice.

I didn't get the girl I loved & rather ended up marrying those who wanted me or the ones I rescued from demons.
I had to move my whole community from the banks of Yamuna to far off Seashore, to save them from Jarasandh. I was called a coward for running away.

If Duryodhana wins the war you will get a lot of credit.

What do I get if Dharmaraja wins the war? Only the blame for the war and all related problems.

Remember one thing, Karna....

Everybody has challenges in life.

*LIFE IS NOT FAIR ON ANYBODY..*

Duryodhana also has a lot of unfairness in life and so has Yudhishthir.

But what is Right (Dharma) is known to your Mind (Conscience)...

No matter how much unfairness we got, how many times we were disgraced, how many times we were denied what was due to us, what is important is how you REACTED at that time...

Stop whining Karna.

Life's unfairness does not give you a license to walk the wrong path…

Always remember, Life may be tough at a point, but DESTINY is not created by the SHOES we wear but by the STEPS we take… 🙂 🙂

Chess is not only a game, but also a way of life.

Chess is not only a game, but also a way of life. Playing chess can teach you valuable life lessons and you may not even know it! The 10 items on this list are the greatest life lessons you can learn from playing the game. 1. Sometimes it's Okay to Bluff There may be a few times in life where you'll have to tell a white lie - and that's okay! Just like in a chess, you may need to act like you have it ask together when you're really shaking on the inside. This confidence throws people off and can even make them uncomfortable. Use it to your advantage. 2. Sometimes it's Okay to Lose Losing is not the worst thing that can happen to you in life. Sometimes you need to lose in order to learn something. Chess and life are the same in this regards as well. You can learn from our mistakes and come out of the gate with guns blazing next time. 3. Flexibility is Essential Things don't always go according to plan and people are unpredictable...

|| Lord Krishna & Today's Arjuna ||

A rare conversation between  Krishna  & Today's  Arjuna . It's one of the best conversations I have come across. 1. Arjuna :- I can’t find free time. Life has become hectic and complex. Krishna :- Activity gets you busy. But productivity gets you free. 2. Arjuna :- Why has life become complicated now? Krishna :- Stop analyzing life... It makes it complicated. Just live it. 3.   Arjuna :- Why are we then constantly unhappy? Krishna :- Worrying has become your habit. That’s why you are not happy. 4. Arjuna :- Why do good people always suffer? Krishna :- Diamond cannot be polished without friction. Gold cannot be purified without fire. Good people go through trials, but don’t suffer. With that experience, their life becomes better, not bitter. 5. Arjuna :- You mean to say such experience is useful? Krishna :- Yes. In every term, Experience is a hard teacher. It gives the test first and the lessons later. 6. Arjuna :- Because...

Never Judge - Life By One Difficult Situation :)

Simple yet beautiful stories leave a long-lasting impression on one’s mind. There was a man who had four sons. He wanted his sons to learn not to judge things too quickly. So he sent them each on a quest, in turn, to go and look at a pear tree that was a great distance away. The first son went in the Winter , the second in the Spring , the third in Summer , and the youngest son in the Fall . When they had all gone and come back, he called them together to describe what they had seen. 1. The first son said that the tree was ugly, bent, and twisted. 2. The second son said no it was covered with green buds and full of promise. 3. The third son disagreed; he said it was laden with blossoms that smelled so sweet and looked so beautiful, it was the most graceful thing he had ever seen. 4. The last son disagreed with all of them; he said it was ripe and drooping with fruit, full of life and fulfillment. The man then explained to his sons that they were all right becaus...
