Once I came across a story in my childhood days about how
pernicious a monkey was who has been asked by two quarreling cats when they
could not decide about their legitimate share of a cake and to settle the
dispute between them, when they both were engaged at the same time to acquire
it. Taking advantage of the situation as well the superior position of monkey
being conferred by them, the monkey intervenes to make an amicable settlement
between them and tactfully hidden his vile intention and expresses his
eagerness to settle the dispute aptly by delivering justice to them, but
remains busy in biting the cake with a pretext of making equal share. He thus
brazenly consumed their coveted food as well trust. So monkey’s arbitrator’s
role eventually brought disgrace to the arbitration mechanism where both party’s
loyalty and trust being decimated.
The story entirely crafted by human’s imagination, but the
hidden message is, you never know what actually lies in one’s mind as there is
not yet any device being invented to understand human’s mind. We entirely have
to guess and anticipate one’s role with an aspiration that it will usher
betterment for mankind. The story also reveals not only a distrustful act of
any individual, but perhaps the opportunism which one may allure for the sake
of ephemeral gain and it may be perhaps difficult to restrain too. Precisely,
when two parties when entangled in war and seeking assistance of any third
powerful party in order to settle any dispute peacefully, in most of the cases,
third party either focused on its own benefit or rather act as a bias one which
may serve its own interest and it too cannot resist the opportunity to exploit
the confronting situation, keeping the problem remain unsettled for infinite
time.
Now, the question is, do we human at all possess any
mechanism to judge or anticipate the intention or the faculty of any such third
party? Whatever devise we may adopt to maintain the neutrality or status quo,
from the point of third party too, is it at all having the potential to
restrict one from not being an opportunist one? I guess, there is no such neutral
aspect at all exists. So to maintain a balance or status quo is always
ephemeral and rather having the potential of developing further disagreement in
the due course to worsen the situation.
It is like a never ending dispute relate to human proclivity
where, third party’s intervention is inevitable and there lies the lacuna of
making judgement regarding third’s party’s role and vision. A superior position
in the human milieu is severely challenged for numerous occasions and
surprising we are forced to accept the dictum of the third party, as the hierarchy
module of the existing pyramid we often eulogized as the most effective tool to
sort out the problem we are confronting with! Whether in any business
organization or political organization, we tend to depend on third parties and
vision which we consider to be a judicious one in terms of our expectation, as
we ordinary people lack the foresightedness. Precisely, when we cannot gauge or
equate human faculty out of our wit and intellect, we have to depend on our
intuition, purely an abstract one, expecting a favorable and respectable
solution out of the disagreement being cropped up from an available situation. But,
the contradiction between two people or parties, having their own favorable
desire according to their aspiration and definitely both cannot be satisfied at
one go. Despite, we invite the third party to intervene almost helplessly. Presently
there is gross erosion of values and ethics, precisely in the political domain,
where leaders are equally treating themselves as entrepreneurs and sadly only
mean business! Whether in a business organization or regarding statesmanship,
we helplessly observe brazen display of disgraceful dispensation of their
interests as a third party, who hardly cares about the mass apart from offering
only mess to them, when they are supposed to play their role as a third party
between two entangling parties, differences of opinion, and promote their own
agenda and interests by virtue their emergence as a third party, and
surprisingly leaders of these groups find enough accolades and acclaim!
I wonder, what is destiny! Even in a soccer game, when the
both team failed to reach to a decisive result, they resort to third party for
determining the fate of the game by taking shot as sudden death from the
referee. He will make a toss and whoever will win will take the advantage of
taking the shot at first. There also destiny plays the key role, as the winner
party will get an added advantage psychologically to start with their wild
journey!
Not at all having any disagree with the exquisite quality of
any phenomenal prodigy, neither having any intention to disgrace the quality of
any leader, I wonder whether destiny plays major role to facilitate one to
become a leader or a distinct personality. Why there cannot be any replication
of such rare prodigy such as Sir Newton, Einstein, Shakespeare, Aristotle and
many?
I wonder why there is sheer crisis of values and ethics. Is it
too lies on a country’s majority’s destiny where intolerance, inhuman
activities and other weird nature manifests only to cause mayhem and severe
threat to mankind? Having poor managers or statesmen are too lies on concern
people’s destiny? I am clouded with sheer despondence! Is it too in my destiny?
Monkeys exist and they will exist. I don’t want they should become an engender
species. But will we continuously invite monkey to beckon our own jeopardy? Will
we not learn any lesson or we least bother to learn any lesson? Are we also
heading to become an endanger species in this planet?
