A Guardian and a Thief

© Knopf

“He understood, from everything he had endured in his own life, that the worth of honesty, presented as noble before schoolchildren, was itself a lie. The honest souls who paused to deliberate on morals found, when they made their choice, that the treasure was gone. What was absolutely true and right, and what was absolutely false and wrong, and how could any sane person live without crossing the borders every day? Lies were the lifeblood of the world.”

‎-Megha Majumdar, A Guardian and a Thief

‎We live in a world where morals become the center of what we become or what we should be.

‎The reason is that most of us live in a world in a Western society where good is always right.

‎Sometimes that goodness will blind us to the fact that to live a life that is good, sometimes we do things that people will not satisfy.

‎On the other hand, goodness might become a tool, and those morals will become a useful tool for some people, especially those who have power, which Nietzsche referred to as “Moral Blindness.”

‎Even if it’s right or wrong, everything has an opportunity to have second chances because without them, the world will always be crying about it.
