So you're broke. So broke that your bank has changed its name and moved to an undisclosed pin code just to avoid you. And you look back on a long & checkered career and question every passion-induced decision you ever made that helped dig the grave your bank balance finds itself in.
And then, just like that, the seas part, the heavens open up and there is placed before you an offer so tantalizing that you don't stare directly at it for fear of burning your corneas.
It's an offer that promises to wipe out all your financial woes. One that signals a new phase in your life. It gently whispers in your ears - Take me! Take me! So you extend your arms towards it...
But suddenly, fate bitchslaps you and you realize that there is a catch. This offer is linked to some not-so-great corporates, where 'not-so-great' is a euphemism for 'those people who skin puppies for coats', which is a euphemism for 'their constructions displaced millions of impoverished Indians'.
Now poverty nips at your ankles while guilt wraps its fist around your heart.
What do you do?
That's quite a dilemma! I'm not sure how I'd react .. but I do think at times, survival would marginally edge out principles. Where to draw the line between survival and greed is open to interpretation though; and up to the individual.
ReplyDeleteHmmm...yup, it's in drawing that line that I face the biggest problem...thanks for dropping a line :)
