Read something which I spent a very little time on but touched my heart in more ways than one. Here's a little snippet of what the story made me feel about our actions, our thoughts, our desires.
1619 words of simple English but profound underlying meaning. A story based on the Irish Civil War, 'The Sniper', by Liam O' Flaherty is a story of wars, informers, death, that desire to be appreciated and praised which blinds people to such an extent that we fail to see the person at the other side, either knowingly or unknowingly and fulfill our wishes, aims, aspirations. Many a times, we turn victorious without any mishaps blocking our path while there are times when you wish with all your heart that you could take that one trip back in time and delete that one action of that one moment which has now changed your entire life. Although it is not always to think before acting, whenever possible, pause to think for a moment about the outcome of your action and then proceed. Stalling for a moment resulting in a slight delay in translation of a thought into action helps prevent one feel guilty later and sometimes, helps prevent a lifetime's worth of guilt from engulfing you.
