You be fair to the world. Also, you teach the world to be fair to you – whenever you can do so. Even then, if the world is not fair towards you, do not feel disappointed. Mother Theresa never felt disappointed. “That is the nature of the world” says Swami Vivekananda. Many persons tried to reform the world. Although it is a very difficult task, they still tried. Swamiji says that it is like trying to straighten the tail of a dog. The moment you remove your hand from the tail, however, the tail becomes crooked as before. All the same, the Swamiji says “you must try to make this world a better place to live in; you must not give up your efforts because of the initial setbacks. Whether it is good for the world or not, it is certainly good for you - to try to reform the world. It makes you a better person”.
Remember, evil and good always coexisted in this world right from the beginning. Of course, ultimately, it is only the good, which will triumph; the villains get destroyed in the end by the efforts of the hero. Although initially, the evil may appear to have gained the upper hand, in the end, it always gets destroyed. If evil were to win in the end, who will prefer to be good in this world; every one wants to win! This is the history of the world – and the basic theme of every story in the world in every language. The villains get crushed in the end - and the hero emerges triumphantly somehow in the end.
The next thought is about “Criticizing others is not good for you”
