Not the most creative title, I know..
So Teddy recently wrote an OS "Afsoz" If you haven't read it yet, what are you doing with your life? Go check it out, it's awesome: https://www.indiaforums.com/forum/tashan-e-ishq/4629713/twinj-cherry-os-afsoz
and I'm not just saying it cause she bae #Raidy
The OS got me thinking, What do I want from Cherry's character? Yes, I want him to own up to the fact that he tried to sexually assault his sister-in-law and would've actually succeeded had Kunj not made it to the farmhouse (I believe it was) in time. It's a no brainer, really. He needs to be held accountable for what he did or tried to do for that matter.
But it does raise a very interesting question:
Imagine this, What if you tried to do something horrible to someone, you didn't succeed- no harm was done to the said person but you still wished it upon them. No one knows what you tried to do tho, just you. A few months/years down the road you realize how wrong you were. You regret what you did, you've clearly grown as a person and are very ashamed of your actions but now comes the hard part. Should you, or should you not confess? No harm was done, but should you still confess your then ill-intentions to the person? Is that doing more harm or good?
And I want to reiterate, this would be a different conversation if the said person was actually harmed but since no one was hurt what would be your course of action? Would you continue your relationship with the person with nothing but goodwill or would you risk putting a strain in the relationship by telling them what you once intended? Is ignorance a bliss in this case or a form of domestic chicanery?
Thoughts?
