Loyalty and Morals

#Essential #Vikaas 

Thought triggered by :Pic Courtesy #theidealist

When I dwell on "#loyalty " and " #morals " I wonder if they can be defined objectively 

Technically they are important to any natural structure to be cohesive  but vary widely according to perception and the operating environment .

Often they seem to depend on , the side you call , in the spin of the coin , coming  out on top . 

They seem to be values of convenience and subject to very diverse opinion .

" What's bad for many 

Maybe good for few " 

Ultimately , I believe , they can at best be personal codes which operate by personal conscience and nobody else can be a true judge of their existence .

Hence , they can not be " in " or " out " of style ! They were and shall always be there ! 

The Rooster

A learning acquired in the West African Bush 

The Crowing Rooster is a sign of the rising sun and the arrival of the dawn.

It's Nature's way of heralding the Lead Player of the day's show. Somewhat like the flourish of trumpets ! 

The biblical reference to this is when Jesus told Judas " You shall betray me #thrice before the rooster crows " 

The Truth , as I discovered , is that the authentic dawn announcement is when the #Rooster crows #thrice

At times , during my trips to procure farm produce , I bedded down in villages . The night would be spent in rural buildings which also housed a rooster. No rural setting is complete without these birds

On one such occasion , in the village of a staff member , I spent the night in a barn with the rooster perched on the cross beam of the roof. 

My kind host told me that I should stir only when the cock crowed thrice ! 

Native wisdom !

This rooster turned out to be a disturbed fellow who decided to crow in the middle of the night , but only once or sometimes twice.  

I kept waking up and found myself lying awake wondering " How many times did he crow ? "  

Interestingly , when he did crow thrice in succession that dawn actually arrived .
