Two Kinds of People

I was having this very interesting conversation about religion to an acquittance whom i had just met. As we spoke i quoted the example of Zarina Wahab's dialogue in MNIK where she explains that there is no difference between an Hindu and a Muslim and there are just 2 kinds of people in this world Good People and Bad People. I some how love this analogy and this is what i took back from the movie.

Anyways whilst discussing this our conversation slightly drifted away to the topic of karma and I was trying to explain what karma means to me and ability to eradicate bad karma in this lifetime. As we spoke she said to me that what might mean good to me might not mean good to another person, so how do you justify good deeds in this lifetime . I went on quite confident on my belief saying that "we cant justify the whole world and we don't life our life from another persons view, and so as long as you are satisfied about the actions that you do in your life you don't have to worry about others". The next thing she said was quoting my own statement that "this is exactly what happens in the world in the name of jihad". They fight for their rights claiming what they do is the right thing, and she asked me that how does that justify?

I remained speechless and only ended the conversation saying i really need to find out more on this.

Inseparable

His Smile made her blush,
but would never accept that she had fallen for him;

Coffee houses and pubs
knew them more than anyone else did
Cinemas and restaurants played their part;
in abstaining from people.

Away from the bustling city
long walks on the beaches,
she never never wanted to see the sun set.

Felt like a time, where nothing was more important
than being with each other every time.

Ego would rip them apart;
but his heart would melt as she smiled for him.

Neither with each other nor without
Best friends they were or
so they called each other.
