Success

Success
P K Routray

Is not one’s success achieved at the cost or failure of others?
Let us deliberate and muse for a while for the decision of the readers.
In a game the success is definitely a pleasure,
But in the opponents’ camp there will be opposite picture.
Does success bring prosperity to all or one or to some?
Whether it is for a moment, for a longer period or for all time to come?
Can a success bring prosperity and cheer to all, at all places forever?
If not, it should not bring pain or doom at any time for another.
Is such a success ever possible?
Can anyone prove it wrong with at least one example?

Where there will be success there will be failure,
Hence be a man of value, for success, do not hanker after.
Success takes more out of life and society for temporary selfish gain,
Surrendering your greed for laurels of success, heavenly bliss you will gain.
This is my personal humble opinion and not an extract from any sermon,
Readers may excuse me if they differ after a deep reflection.
