Small Article- Confession Does not Speak the Truth
Confession does not speak the whole truth.
Dalip Singh Wasan, advocate.
It is the difficulty with the man that he cannot speak truth and truth only. It is a difficulty with him that he has to conceal much before coming forward and tell his own accounts. The man is doing much at each step which is not good and he is compelled to keep those things secret with him. The man on this earth has only one power with him and this is the special gift of God that he is in a position to conceal so many things with him and that is the reason, he is living on without any difficulty. If all the things are out, this man shall be facing so many difficulties and there are chances that he may be leaving his house, leaving his life partner, leaving his neighbourhood, his society and there are chances that he may be committing suicide.
The man may be having an eye on the person of opposite sex and in his heart he or she may be thinking that this person should be with him for sex or otherwise and that is the reason this person is enjoying more and more when he is present in those who are from opposite sex. We are looking at an article which is in the ownership of another. We want to have that article and we may be planning in our heart the methods through which that article could be had. We may not be in a position to have that article by one way or the other or we may not be executing on our plans, but sometimes this though and this desire is a sin, a crime or a misconduct. We are having so many things with us which were never purchased by us and we may be having so many things which we had from the in laws who were not virtually bound to give that article to us. But under forced circumstances, they had to purchase that article for us just to obey the traditions. We are keeping that thing, but we are never returning that thing to the in laws saying that this is illegal. Here we had committed a crime, a sin or a misconduct, but we are not disclosing this fact to others.
Much comes to our mind which we are not in a position to execute and bring that idea in operation. Only circumstances are saving us and if the circumstances are in our favour, we would not avoid to commit that crime, misconduct and the sin and it is on record that the people who are rich and powerful commit more crimes, more sins and more misconducts. But they too never admit that they are in the wrong. They are presenting themselves before us as good people of the area and we too are not in a position to tell them that they had been committing such and such crimes, sins and misconducts.
People who are making confessions in courts or in books are always trying to save themselves and most of the confessions are tainted and it becomes difficult to admit the confessions as wholly true. The people who are making confessions are trying to establish that they have got the courage to speak the whole truth, but they themselves know that they are not coming out with the whole truth. Even an accused shall tell something which could save him and he shall be placing before us something which he did under compelling circumstances and those actions were not voluntary. Even Honourable Courts are taking these confessions not with hundred per cent value, but they try to examine the circumstances under which that confession had been made. The people who are writing books and are telling us that they were in the right, they too are not telling us all the things which they had been planning and which they had been desiring to execute, because if we come forward with the whole truth, we know that some criminal cases could be registered against us and we shall be condemned by the society around us. Our confession could mar or damage life another who had been conniving with us and we both had been doing something which was not permissible by the society around us. We all know that we are doing, we are planning, we are executing in our heart of heart so many things which are crimes, misconducts or sins and therefore, we try to conceal those facts of our life and we are always busy in concealing. The face of each one of us is telling us that behind this face there is a criminal, there is a man who had committed so many sins and misconducts. Very few faces are there who could be free from these burdens. So we should not compel a person to tell us the truth and truth only because, we ourselves are not in a position to speak truth and truth only. This system of concealment should continue with us and we should take this system as special gift from the side of God who is saving us from so many unfortunate situations.
