That is life!

A colleague loses his job,

His emotions and feelings had perhaps got better of him.

We were told, “Beware, there exists zero tolerance policy for some misconducts.”

Such painful decisions are a part of the corporate world,

And we are no exceptions.

Today it was him, tomorrow maybe someone else in some other organization,

Someone whose emotions and feelings would have got better of him.

In the highly uncertain and fiercely competitive world,

There are umpteen minefields,

Which can sound ‘death knell’ for some naive or stupid.

I wondered, “ How can life be so cruel?”

That very evening I got to know about  a Naxal attack,

Which claimed precious lives of some security personnel.

I got an answer from within “Isn’t that the way of life?”

One error of judgement,

And you can leapfrog into heaven.

The souls of those dare devil fighter pilots, those cops, of those soldiers etc would say,

“Your colleague would find another job. Would we find another life?” 

While emotions, feelings and sense of judgement do make a man,

But tragically enough, they also play a role in destroying a man.

That is life!
