Life is not always a bed of roses. It is a complex, perplexing, complicated and full of riddles. From birth to death one is faced with umpteen rules and regulations, customs, traditions, etiquettes and manners et all. We are what we are, as we are brought up by our family traditions, environment, schooling and our cultural background. Often we are not aware as to how to conduct in a particular situation or in a new surrounding or in a new place unaware of the mores, rules and traditions of that place. Each day calls for caution, care and presence of mind from morning till evening. A little forgetfulness or negligence may cause harm, annoyance or hurt to another and we may have to face its consequence and pay the fine and penalty. Fines and penalties have been fixed by societal norms to remind us of our duties, obligations and care to be taken by us in our actions. Failure brings us to the doorstep of fines and penalties. There are so many religious rules and laws calling for strict observance. Failure to comply will call for penal action. Forgetfulness and unconsciously not performing or plea of good intention is no excuse. If you forget to perform ‘wazu’ for ‘namaz’ and perform the namaz , it is not accepted, you need to repeat it again by performing ‘wazu’. If you fail to keep the obligatory ‘roza’ – fasting, you need to keep it after the month of ramzan or feed the poor. For every non performance of regular mandatory duties, penal provisions have been carved out, be it forgetting to take your daily bus pass, identity card, tickets or simply not tying up your ferocious dog, which has bitten a stranger. In order to avoid facing severe penal actions due to negligence, forgetfulness, absence of mind, there are several remedies suggested by either law itself or by mantras created by modern management techniques. All & every law enacting agency cautions due care to be taken before performing any action. Sometimes forgetting to wish elders, passer bys, and men in authority brings displeasure and you are sure to be called discourteous and rude. To avoid penalties to enter into your life daily or even once, you need to practice being a stricter with observation of rules and to acquire knowledge. You need to be meditative and conscious all the time. You need to regulate your inner urges, temper, manners and conduct by regular practice and regimentation. Despite every care in our lives yet we pay heavily for our wrong actions performed innocently, unintentionally or by any innocuous action. We need to temper ourselves and adopt a posture of forgiveness, compassion and be kind to others in our daily life than be ‘shylock like” to seek “the pound of flesh”, for we may face another Shylock round the corner who demands from us “his pound of flesh”. Both religious and parliamentary laws calls for compounding and compromising disputes in some circumstances while in may cases punishment, fines and penalties are severely imposed for our wrong action committed intentionally or not.
