A single sin leads to a cycle of wrong doings
A single mistake will become an offshoot of several other transgressions, making life miserable
Farhad Ahmad Pir
Every individual has a dream to achieve in order to reach up to the climax of life. A person puts every endeavor to achieve his goals. There are diverse means through which we can reach out to our goals. Mostly there are two ways like rightful and dishonest way to attain our ambitions.
A person who begins to get happiness in an apt way becomes successful despite facing many hurdles in life but at last the success kisses his feet. The way he adopts is acceptable to everybody without harming anyoneís personal life. His right track of achievement makes him ideal among his peers who also try to achieve their goals by following his footsteps.
On the other hand, an individual, who adopts an illicit method of reaching out to his goal and thinks that itís the easiest way to get success, is thinking within his own sphere and without knowing the consequences.
He does a self motivating talk and solaces himself that he would choose wrong act only once till he accomplishes his mission. But he does not know how a single mistake will throw him into a pit of sins. He uses all kinds of devilish abilities to get his ambition.
No doubt, his temporary success does come in his way without putting much venture and he attains his goal rapidly and gets excellence against his counterparts with in no time. But Alas! After getting hold of that thing, he becomes involved in other wicked doings, as it is true how a single mistake takes a person to other desperados.
A person consoles his mind that he will do a particular sin of grabbing something in his life only once, does not know the reality that his single mistake will become an offshoot of several other transgressions. In this way his method of solving a problem in a wrong way opens a door to many other sins in trying to stabilize his life.
His wrong way of getting transitory success becomes a cause of discontentment and this wrong way of reaching out to something does not make him to live happily. How could he live without despondency! As his wrong method reminds him his sinful nature, with this his wrong actions start replaying in front of him.
His sins follow him like a dust that clings to a shirt. Wherever he goes, his previous misdeeds on time strikes his mind and does not let him a chance to enjoy his existence. His life becomes a hell and he wishes to come out of this bog but his sinning nature allures him to commit other wrongdoings related to the earlier sins in order to get things better.
He commits a sin after sin but without solving the root of the crisis. He is hell bent on guiltiness in a hope to get redressal of his evils. He becomes completely dejected and imposes a self isolation in order to avoid social influence. It is clear here how an individual while taking extreme steps means an erroneous track to grab his earnest needs, the thing which he desires, becomes a cause of his own destruction. Would we know beforehand how minor sins will lead to bigger sins, we shall have not committed even a trifling offense.
In order to live a care free life one should examine oneís nature at the outset without letting your mind to fall prey to sins. Make your mind incompetent to sins but as much stronger that your mind will not let you to commit even a minor sin. Once you restrict your mind, it must not lead you to other crimes. It is better to curb your sins at the beginning and once we stick to it, itís not viable even to subsidize our sinful nature.
At last if we really want our desires to be fulfilled, one ought to choose a right and legally accepted way of reaching out to aspirations.
