“(...) he was always working up his hatred trying to prove his loyalty and be grateful for what Duryodhana had done for him. Somewhere deep inside, he knew that everything he was doing was wrong, but his loyalty was so strong that he continued to do it. He was a wonderful guy but he continuously made mistakes. All our lives are like that.”

#;musing #musing #;about #about #' (...) but what is right (dharma) is known to your mind (conscience) '#its a pretty complicated topic when u go in depth and start asking urself questions #is it a fight against destiny and roles? or a fight to follow one's path? or is it both?#duties; responsibilities; karma & the essence #at the end of it all; k.arna knew he was going to die and that he's not been following the path of the righteous; and he accepted this #no one is perfect in the m.ahabharata; characters have their virtues but they also have their not so good sides and moments #k.arna is prideful (but not arrogant); he has quite the temper and says things that hurt others; he is blinded by his loyalty #which as a result allows other characters to feed on this and perpetuate not so good actions #but this is not just about others; bc this is not about putting the blame on other characters bc at the end #k.arna is responsible for his own actions; and what he decides or doesnt decide to do and how these choices have a reaction #but he also has the ability to reflect; he has regrets when he crosses certain lines #which of course don't take back what he said in the past as he on his own said;; but there is a conscience and a posibility of growth on him #this growth is as an example; shown in how he behaves as a s.ervant #s.ervant k.arna still holds traits of his past self; but you can notice he's not exactly the same k.arna he was in the past #standing like that one meme of the cow facing the sea rn #k.arna..... many thoughts that i cant put into words bc english is failing me rn rip #conclusion: -clenching hands on fists-
