I will kill you
BR Sunkara
Nobody is good or bad. Some situations in life make them either good or bad. The good principles in poor become cheated when they become rich and then they become bad from good. The wonder is that when they are under the grip of poverty, they are good and when they are elevated in position, they are greedy. Does the greed for money call the people on more illegal paths to have money irrespective of the discrimination of good or bad? Why the crimes are more linked with the rich? Does the money call people towards crimes?
The Interest on loans grows day and night. It never cares your interests of your life. A man takes a big bucket of water to pour on a burning small match stick. He says, “I am afraid I cannot stop this small fire if I am not careful, you know, this small fire can burn the whole city if it is left careless.” The Interest is like a small fire to burn all your small natural resources. You know, the little families taking loans and the interests growing so big to eat the entire families soon.
One man with a thick beard entered a barber shop. His name is peter. People call him "Peter the beard".
"Hi Peter, how long it was to grow your beard to this level?" somebody asked with wonder looking at his very thick and long beard.
Peter the beard comes to barber shop for only croping his haie on his head, but he will not let the barber to touch his beard. Beard is his real property and he was proud of his thick and long beard.
"You don’t know my friend. the interest on your small loan and the hair in my big beard grows day and night, so you need not ask me how much time it took to grow to this level." Peter the beard answered in a cool tone.
The man who asked him this question is Nick and he is working in a small company with a very small salary to grow his very big family. So he often takes loans from a money lender on heavy interest. Peter the beard knows this, so he answered like that to alert him that he is getting drowned with the burden of heavy interest loans. He wants to say that taking loan for living is not right.
Nick thought that interest is killing him. Peter reminded him that loans will swallow his low income.
Nick took 500 dollars from a money lender five months back and he did not know how it had become 1000 dollars in this short period. Nick is poor in these mathematics and moneylenders are always very smart in calculating interest that is not paid in time.
One day, Nick took thousand dollars to that moneylender and tried to come out from this mess.
"I am interested in interest only. I don’t take the loan amount back soon. This is my policy." The money lender said with determined voice and took only five hundred. The loan amount was five hundred which was with Nick like a snake ready to bite him at any time.
Nick had a friend by name Dick. He was a bootlegger and he sells illegal liquor. He had heard the problem of Nick from somebody else. Dick took Nick to that money lender and picked a quarrel. Dick asked him to take the loan amount from Nick and leave him safe.
"It is not 500, you know? It is 5000 took from me. Ask him to return 5000 dollars. Then I will take the money back." The money lender said.
At that time, another big bootlegger by name Bill came and he looked seriously at Dick.
Dick knows that picking quarrel with Bill is not possible, because he is the secretary of the cities bootleggers. So he paid the money lender 5000 on behalf of Nick and Nick saw him helplessly.
"After seeing your dealings in taking loans, I understand that you are a lamb and they are the wolves.. So don’t go to any wolves for taking loans. I am here to help you. If you are not happy with your job and salary, come to me. Just leave all the hatred towards my work. You will be happy here." Dick said to Nick after coming out of the premises of the moneylender.
Nick was in serious thinking. His income is meager. His needs are more. He cannot live with what he is earning. He cannot jump to illegal professions.
One interest is "LIVING WITH PEACE AND PRIDE".
The other interest is on petty loans "GROWING DAY AND NIGHT LIKE THE HAIR IN THE BEARD".
Society is dumb viewer looking at the poor people who are being harassed by money lenders and being worn out.
LIVING WITH PEACE AND PRIDE:
Nick was in serious thinking. He has the offer of Dick. He has no interest in his way of life. He likes him as a man, not as a man with his profession. A man is different and a man with what he is doing is different. These are two sides of everybody.
A man is good. But he is not always good. So something bad you can see with every good man. What is good and what is bad is also always in controversy. The good is bad when the beliefs get changed. You can offer wine to devotees, but not everywhere. Wine is bad in some communities. A devotee who is a hunter by profession offers his God, the fresh meat hunted by him, It is what he has, so he offers this with great feeling of devotion. In some place, fish are offered to God as the fish are called JALA PUSHPA or water flowers. It is not bad. So what the belief says right is right and what says wrong is wrong.
Whenever Nick thinks about the interest growing on the loans he has taken, he gets angry.
He has taken five more big amounts as loans from mean moneylenders. He is getting annoyed and he is crying in his bedroom in a mad voice: "I will kill you…I will kill you…"
Nick's wife carol Gracias is afraid of this voice thinking that his husband is becoming a killer. He visits his bed room to see that Nick is in sleep and crying. She asks him after he woke up.
"Who is it you are killing?"
"Interest"
"What interest? You are not interested in anything, except taking loans to meet your expenses."
"Carol, you know I am doing all this for the family. Taking loans for the needs of family is not bad."
"Taking loans and paying unbearable interest will make people buried in more woes. This heavy interest on petty loans is really so bad that we all know how much bad."
"Everybody knows this. But what makes a common man interested in this, you know well. Needs are endless and controlling needs is not a joke. We cannot live like a cavemen or stonemen."
"You are good at talk of no use. What it needs is what we have to do to improve our income resources."
Carol laughed with a pain. Nick could not kill the interest on loans, so he is killing it every day in his dreams.
One day Carol purchased a lottery ticket. Who knows that how the fortunes come. For some very few people, fortune comes by lottery ticket also. We don’t believe that lottery tickets bring fortune to every one.
Carol also is the same type. But her neighboring woman jasmine purchases every month many lottery tickets spending her fortunes, but her fortune of lottery tickets did not smile. One day she asked carol to come with her to help purchasing lottery tickets. Carol went with her. Jasmine purchased fifty tickets and asked carol to take at least one for her.
"I have no money." Carol said.
"Don’t worry. I will give you for one ticket." Jasmine said.
"It will not be mine. I don’t believe in fortune with your money. You are taking these tickets for years, but not a single ticket helped your fortune to smile. You are losing and losing."
"I know. Take one now. Give the small amount when you have. I promise you, I don’t ask you a share if your ticket wins. Believe me." Jasmine said with a smile.
Carol also smiled and purchased a ticket with the money of jasmine, which she has returned as soon as she returned home.
Fortune of one lottery ticket smiled on Nick's family. Now Nick is rich. They got ten millions in lottery.
Carol knows that Jasmine had lost at least half a million dollars in the lottery. She gave two millions to Jasmine.
"I told you I don’t ask any share if you win." Jasmin said.
"Jasmine I know that. May be, just you said that, I won." Carol smiled with a smile.
"You naughty, why you think to give me this money?"
"Jasmine, I know that lotteries may make some people rich. But many people are losing. You are at the loss of nearly half a million dollars in your life. So I want to see that my friend who helped me have this fortune should not remain at loss. "
"Thank you for your good heart." Jasmine said.
In few months of getting happy life by this fortune, Carol came to know a bitter fact. She is shocked.
Nick turned wicked.
He had turned a wicked moneylender. He was lending money to poor and he was drinking blood of the poor.
Carol is at the state of thinking as if Nick is saying with every one - " I will kill you..I will kill you".
_THE END_
