One thing I have to tell. There was only one difference between Arjuna, Karna or Ekalavya whatever it is. For Arjuna the glass was half full, while for others it was half empty. We always say this person suffered for Arjuna, this person suffered for Arjuna what is so great about Arjuna. Nothing, only the attitude.
Life was not easy for him. He was a prince born in a jungle. He won the hand of a woman in swayamvar whom his mother asked to share between 4 of his brothers. Did Karna shared his wife. Answer is no. He didnt.He was made a slave by his elder brother. His friend told him to choose between his power and himself. His friend who is called Narayan didnt protect the child he loved so much who was brutally killed in Chakravyuha.Did Arjuna complain, did he hate kunti, did he hate Yudhi, did he question Krishna. Answer is no. He took life the way it was, he accepted what life gave him. When life threw stone at him, instead of hitting back he caught it. He became the fragrance of Lord Krishna because of whom Bhagavad Gita happened. He asked Lord direction when he was in pain. He followed the direction. He owned up his actions. It was not the situation that defined him, he defined the situation.Karna, Ekalavya was always victims the world saw. But they never saw Arjun the husband who was a victim, Arjun the brother who was a victim, Arjun the son who was a victim, because he never told sob stories, he masked it with a smile. To see Arjun as victim, Abhi had to die.You always have the path of using the fire to burn others or become a lamp, whatever situation you are in. You can committ a mistake but defining your circumstance to support a crime doesnt really make you a victim. Then the victim becomes the criminal.People easily relate to sob stories because that is what 99% people do. Because of x,y,z circumstances I did certain things. I am not bad. It is the remaining 1% those fighters, those real victims, those many times are bad in front of the society who really the need the support because they dont know how to tell they are victims or present a sob story.This is my perspective, people can make many perspective out of MB. For me I had always followed glass is half full attitude of Arjun.
