You finally found the magic lamp. You rub it three times to call out the Genie. The Genie appears, but he does not grant you the wishes that you thought you desired. Instead, he proclaims; "Tell me anything honest about yourself, and you will be forgiven for it"
Sounds interesting, doesn't it? I mean, who would have thought that a Genie would ask you something like this instead of granting the usual three wishes as we all have read about.
Suppose you were the one in this situation, what would you have done?
Would you have replied and in any case even if you did, what is the guarantee that the Genie s going to forgive you, if at all?
Could this not be a trick to get you to admit something and then be punished by banishing you to some forsaken place?
The prompt above that was got from 'https://prompts.deta.dev/' had me thinking.
Genie or no Genie, such situations do occur in real life too but nobody notices it. For example, there are situations where you are sometimes forced to reveal unpleasant truths about yourself because of emotional blackmail or some other reasons maybe, hopefully, nothing to do with the cops.
In such situations, always think before you blurt out. Truth is good but it is not always wise to blurt out facts without thinking of the consequences. I mean it is bad to hide the truth especially if it is going to prevent you from coming out clean but if it is not going to help you and instead pushes you to something far worse than the present situation, it is better to keep quiet. Saying lies won't help either. Most people can always sense a lie and it will put them in an antagonistic mode and that is bad.
Life is a challenge and that is a fact that almost every individual knows. Often, we see celebrities posting videos on YouTube about their travels or daily life and such and people commenting about how lucky they are, and so on. Unfortunately, the reality could be a lot different. We only get to see the smiles often. There are a lot of cases where the female actors often get beaten up or abused by their family members. The scars and tears are hidden with the help of make-up. No life is perfect and never feel that your life is worthless or without any purpose. Learn to look around you and below you and you will be thankful to the almighty or whoever you look forward to and it could be your own self or conscience that you are better off than many others.
Imagine a room where 16 people lived and shared a dirty toilet and had to work hard for eating a single meal that is not filled with nutrients or vitamins and such. There is no privacy. There is no clean water and there is not enough food for all. Still, they live. Such a situation can be found in a slum in Mumbai which is also one of the richest cities in the world.
When you think of the above situation, don't you feel that you are certainly better off? So, always think ahead and forget the past and the hurts and look forward to living without regrets and always complaining of your 'lot'.
Genie may or may not exist but you can always create magic in your own life by remaining positive and try to see the brighter side of things.
