Can Anyone Emotionally Blackmail You So Easily?

Описание: This happened in the year 1973. My father passed away — he was very sick. He used to drink a lot, and inside, everything had completely collapsed. We didn’t even have money to buy medicine worth two rupees.

When he died, people gave us a donation of two hundred rupees, and with that money we performed his cremation. From the same money, I went to a religious place to immerse his ashes. But what happens is, many people gather there and start saying, “You will have to spend this much on rituals, you will have to pay this much.”

I said, “I don’t have money.”
They said, “No, no, you HAVE to do it.”

My uncle was with me, and even he insisted, “No, it must be done.”

I asked, “Brother, what will happen if I don’t do it? Will his soul not get peace?”
They said yes, his mother’s soul won’t get peace.

So I said, “Whose father was he? He was mine, right? If he doesn’t get peace, I should be the one troubled. I am doing the immersion in my own way.”

Then the priest understood that I didn’t have money, so he said, “Alright, no problem,” and he completed the rituals anyway.

Look, people will try to emotionally blackmail you. You will face difficulties. You will have tough times. You might not have money. But you must keep your mind balanced. People will try to extract money from you in any situation. Even when you are in pain, people will come with excuses to take money — saying they can improve your life, fix things, bring good days.

But remember one thing:
No one can fix anyone.
