The attraction of forbidden things in the ephemeral world

There is no denying the fact, due to unhealthy situation, a child may be infected with evil mind and as a result, he or she disintegrates and stigmatizes by in-flowing into the world of murkiness as well as misleading from where he or she can never get rid of. He commits crime, such as smuggling, robbing, murdering, snatching and dilapidation etc. Failure waits for him everywhere. Even if, he is attracted by innumerable but deadly forbidden things. Not being educated, he becomes addicted to evil works in society. He becomes unknown about the world being transient and allusion of momentary affairs, which has no eternal value in the real sense. In many times, it is observed by degrees that he becomes go-getting and many detrimental tricks are acted upon in societal life. He is familiar with that being crooked and atrocious work, the society cannot mull over him as an evil person; never the less; every body is in the way to run after such forbidden things. In many times the terror leaders greet him and support him to do the forbidden things. Thus a person becomes the leader of the country and occupies a very influential position in the society by doing all the forbidden things like bribing, mal practicing and thieving. Hence forth, it is seen that from every branches of the Government corruption is a common phenomenon for which the nation would like to lead a healthy life. Bangladesh is a highly populated country and as such the double entendre among her resources and needs are prevailing every time to a great extent. Due to despondency of wealth, here one-fourth people cannot satisfy their daily needs for which no one is pleased with his family life. It is a very difficult doodad for someone to acquire a job, as there are fewer vacancies in offices, industries and so on. When people cannot find any occupation or job for earning their livelihood, they do not get any alternative measures except committing crimes. So being without a job is a reason for life form a criminal and the opportunist apply this sense in evil manner and sway him to do the job of roguish and dreadful deeds for which he remains exhausted through out his whole life.

As per scrawny socioeconomic condition in our country, a child does not need a companion to live with society, friendship and love. That is why; the people make friendship in the hope to have good fortune to deal future life. But every friend might not stand beside another friend in weal and woe. He sometimes pushes him towards danger and inspires him for doing anti-social activities, which is called ‘crime’. Therefore, being a criminal, he may be tainted with the deceptive people. Suffice it to say that due to aggravated socioeconomic conditions customary in our country, our society of youths is leading very miserable life. They are creating hindrance and preventing the people from dealing normal life as they are sometimes no longer lost to play a role of terrorists as well as miscreants. Due to the fact that poverty is the indispensable reason for doing criminal assault on the part of the youths. Any person belonging to a poor family has to pass his days through hard struggle. He surely wants to develop his condition. On the other hand, for being poor, he does not get opportunity to be educated properly. Consequently, he cannot have any respectable occupation. At last, finding no other alternatives, he commits crime as his profession. If we are able to reach our goal as expected, it is universal that glory of success must wait for us in future. But we must have to work arduously for that golden opportunity. Otherwise our all hopes and aspirations will be nipped in the bud. No one cannot get salvation of ideal love and peace from God by following the path vices and misfortune. Dr. Faustus was an uncommon genius but by committing seven deadly sins with the exchange of his soul into the hell by taking 24 years kingdom in the eternal world had been thrown to the hell. Lucifer, the owner of the hail grew jealous of him for his talent and geniuses and made a deed by way of Mephistopheles with Faustus. Later, Faustus became lamented but due to his colossal crime, he was thrown to the hell for his misdeeds for long 24 years. That is to say, if a man is addicted to bad habits during childhood, he cannot get rid of from such criminal assault for which he has to repent on through out his whole life. Youth is the best season of good harvest and as such it is likes mild mud and henceforth, he needs to precede his life very carefully. Mainly for these three reasons, we are loosing many brightly illuminated resource personnel to place them on the basis of ‘Right man for the right place' of our country. We need to end all these frolicsome activities. We must come across some way to get rid of mischievous debris and save the bewildered people of our country. The Government also should take actions against such awful activities. First of all, the people here should be aware of the explosion of population and they must not possess more than two children. Secondly, we need to be careful about making friendship, so that we don’t have any bad company. And at last, we must have to recognize the importance of education. No matter how poor we are, we have to try our level best to gain knowledge. In this context, Socrates said," Knowledge is virtue, from knowledge, virtue and goodness flourish; from ignorance, he said, all that is evil."

Other wise the hopes and aspiration would be nipped in the bud and in this context, Somerset Maugham says,”






It is difficult to pass over the razor’s edge,


But the wise say the path to salvation is hard”
