I dint want to add another entry so soon, but im not able to free my mind of this recurring question. Is wishing for a common good, too bad? or harmful....?
Well, the context here is of my last entrance exam, held on 10th feb(today). Yes, as u must hav presumed, im very happy they've finally ended...
Now this exam contains lots of GK. I had put together lot of economy related GK in a file, from diff sources on the net. Barely a day b4 the exam, I put up this file on a public forum of ppl who had, are, or will appear for this exam. I put it up for answering a partic query frm another aspirant and for what i thot would do some 'common good' to all aspirants.
However, i recieved replies saying they already had all this data! N yet no one had posted a reply to the queries! Like rats these people were gaurding their pieces of information in their bill! Hiding it away, so no one cud catch a glimpse of their 'hard earned trophy'!!
Then to top it up, for some weird reason, i myself cudnt bring myself to share that file with the closest of my frnds appearing for this exam! ...tho eventually, i did.
I felt kidded by the whole affair...i still am not able to make up my mind if, by doing so, we strengthen our own chances or spoil others' ?
Whatever it is, i believe there is, now, a permanent dent on my belief system. I certainly wudnt like to be touted as 'naive' to the ways of the world...i wonder if u would!
