Answer this first!

I have always been fond of reading good stuff..especially inspirational ones or anything which helps you understand life and people around you in a much better way.

It was in my 10th std that Gandhiji was the face of every course book, I read. I was ok kinds impressed and agreed with his beliefs but there was this short parable in the front page of each course book which left a distinct impression on me...(may not be the exact words)

"Whenever you are in doubt about what you are doing is wrong or you are palnning to do is wrong, just ask yourself one question- 'Can you tell it to your parents and still look them straight in their eyes?' And that should answer it all for you."

Is'nt it really true that when we mess up something, the first questions which pops up is - "My parents should not know this..else I'm screwed." :)
So why not try the either way out, of just asking this question beforehand and in case the ans is 'Yes', then we can carry on with our mess and to hell with world. Our friends understand us anyways...and are always glad to mess it up more (wicked smile!) ;)
