Our society is full of people with split personalities. Many of us are quite different at home and at office. So much so we are quite different when we are socializing and when we are alone. Most people break the law when they see that no one is watching them. Recently I was returning from a get-together of so called elite people. While on way back I noticed that most people were taking incorrect U-turns on a crossing. It was probably because the traffic constable was not there. Few months back I was watching an experiment conducted by behaviour science scholar, in which the people were asked to follow certain set of instructions when they were alone in the room. More than eighty percent people broke the rules when the camera in the room was hidden, while only some curious people broke the rules when the camera was easily locatable. This is quite obvious. In our day to day life religion acts like a visible camera. Instinctively we are rule breakers but we are given a dose of few rules which we know that we should not break because either our elders or masters are watching or GOD is watching. We become perfect when this elder person or GOD unite with us. But thank GOD that it never happens and the world keeps on running. The best moments for us are when we are just one dice throw away in a game of snakes and ladders. Similarly the best moments are there when we are one box before the perfection. But the problem is that some people keep playing in the lower level for very long and think that rules are not meant for them. We try to play many games together without realising that we are surely getting noticed.
