Who is a good person and who is a bad person? After observing the society, I lived in for years, meeting people from different backgrounds, I am able to make conclusion that, there is no good person or bad person in this world. A person is good or bad, depends upon the perspective (sometimes we can say it self-interest) of the person who is looking at him/ her. We can find thousands of examples in favour of my argument; but I am restricting myself in citing only few extreme cases. Take the extreme example, in the eyes of a prostitute, a customer who behaves with her properly and pays her properly, may be the best person in this world. Whereas, the same person is a character-loose person in the eyes of the society, in general and in the eyes of his wife, in particular.
One of my friends say a person is good, if he is good in the eyes of the majority of the people. I asked him, ‘which majority?’ Many of the dictums of society of the past are rejected by the present generation. Then again, the question, which generation is correct or good? Even in many times our opinions in groups are different from our individual opinion about a person in camera. Sometimes public perception about a person may be diametrically opposite to his/her actual character. Therefore, finally, I arrived at the decision, nobody is good and nobody is bad in this world. It all depends from which side of the lens you are looking at.
On this background, I have written this fictitious story about changing of relation between the widow and his friend in the eyes of neighbours and relatives.
