HERO WORSHIPING

Hi friends,

A GENIUS

A doctor is next to God. His diagnosis makes him unique. The risk he takes is beyond words. I remember to have read this in the "letters to the editor" column in The Hindu long time back during the centenary of Dr. A.L.Mudaliar, by one of his assistant who was also a famous doctor.

One day, he was going with ALM in his car. ALM was one of the few who owned a car. While they were passing through Big street in Triplicane in Madras, there was some gathering of people. When inquired, they were told that a politician was bedridden with a serious ailment.

ALM got down from the car and went inside the house and checked on the patient. His deputy doctor was standing nearby to note down his prescription. ALM dictated the medicine and he noted it. But he was sure that the medicine should not be given to the patient for his ailment.

Before handing over the prescription to the family, the deputy doctor hesitated for a moment. ALM observing his reluctance told him not to worry, "I know it should not be given. Sometimes even the poison works as a medicine". Within a few days, the patient became normal. A genius.

HERO WORSHIPING

In our daily life, we are blindly hailing someone as a hero. We always talk about him and keep him in high esteem. We do not know whether he is actually worth his salt. Knowing our weakness, he also accepts that he is a hero. Then who is a real hero?

Character is defined as the mental and moral qualities distinctive to an individual. It is human law. Everyone should abide by this law. You have good and bad character. The main aspect that makes a person good is having good character. Both the intention and action must be good.

The hero is one who is admired for his courage, outstanding achievements, and noble qualities. There are people who are rich and handsome. People give importance to outward appearance and call a person a hero. Tom Dick and Harry are not heroes. They should have noble qualities.

Drinking alcohol and womanizing are the worst habits. People who possess these habits must be abandoned by society. Before considering anyone to be a hero please find out whether he is free from these two vices. If not, you must summarily reject him even as human beings.
