The man lying on the pavement in tattered clothes was the same man, who, once lived like a king, was worshiped like a god by his disciples, who foolishly believed in his magic tricks, smooth talks, and false promises, hoped that with his superpower he will help them get money, power, and success without any hard work.
He took advantage of their laziness, greed, and stupidity, made enough money, acquired enough power to think him above law till one day, when he molested a minor girl, who was brought to him by her poor parents for some treatment, in the hope that he will cure her with some prayers.
He was caught as the girl and her parents complained to police, though he feigned innocence no one believed him this time and the same people who have put him on the high pedestal were after his blood, realizing the seriousness of the situation he absconded in tattered clothes to disguise himself, praying not to be recognized as he knew nothing is worse than mobs furry.
When he could run no more, hungry and tired he fell down and lost his consciousness, lying there he was getting sympathy from people who did not know his real identity but was he human, worthy of their pity?
Who was to be blamed, people who gave him the chance to cheat themselves or the fake godman who took advantage of their greed and cheated them?
the person who has suffered only can realize and understand pains of others …… experience is in depth understanding of a problem…… most of the human greed for their value in others eye but forget to plant seed of own value within ….. value within is true value of a human being …… good post …..love all.

It is a powerful story.When a human gets away with all his evil desires,he forgets that there is a God above.,All his sins are taken into account.He will lose everything.,And will face the consequences of his deceit.

A very profound story, Indira. So many different things must be taken into consideration, but it’s very sad,; no doubt about that.

I don’t think the above response is to me, however, I will take it as so and answer that I have not taken a rest from blogging, but life just … happens. Dad passed several years ago, Sis passed 2 years ago this January (2022), and Mom had hip surgery then fell and has been recouping for the last several months. With the pandemic, I have just been so full in my mind and so weak in my body, I haven’t chosen to do much of it. No good excuse. I have published 1 more story in that time, perhaps, 2. Will try to get back with it. Thanks.
