Is it wrong to hold onto every opportunity that knocks on that heavy wooden door? I’m sure most of you will agree that there is nothing wrong with it. Consider, the ‘ethics’ behind it. Is it ethical? There are so many facets to this, that I am uncovering as I am writing this. You also then have to consider, is being selfish right? Now, if your answer to this is no, then how can your answer to the first question be no. You see the dilemma now. Don’t you?
Almost every time you grab onto one opportunity you are ‘hurting’ someone. ‘Your loss is someone else’s gain’ and vice versa. So if you’re gaining from it, somebody is losing. Then how do you judge whether its right? Whether it’s worth it? Now, the most common reply will be, ‘does it feel right to you? If yes, then its right and justified’. Feelings are the most unstable and fleeting phenomena. So, what if at this instant, it feels right but after a while it feels wrong? Which ‘feeling’ are we to believe to be true? Whatever be your opinion, at this very instant, I’m playing the role of ‘The Opportunist’.
