Not much spice of envy but only innocent admiration for the fellow human

My education till 14 was in government school in m native village. I was just an average student but doing good in English language and tamil. Once i secured the highest mark in Hindi 95%  in 8 th standard outsmarting one boy who had just moved to our school from Ahmedabad,  the land/constituency of Modi  now. Mathematics subject was my nightmare and that handicap still continues in my family tree. I was blessed and privileged to have loving parents and teachers freed from any natural grief and afflictions. I had my love  health and luck. At that time I did not know the true value of my parents and the sacrifices they made. I did love them and adore them and also helped them marginally as Physical work easily exhausted me.My parents were not poor  but belonging to lower middle class and extremely hard working and honest. Having watched  and internalised the behaviour of my parents there was not much spice of envy but only an innocent admiration for the people whom i encountered in life. That trait / attribute had remained unchanged when i grew up in different climate.I must accept  and virtually concede that there were some shallow creatures really self centred monsters who later rose to higher positions and some of them did cause maximum mischief and derailed my academic career and at that time my modest and civilized behaviour was thrown to the winds. But  I did not curse them and only pitied that the were scared of me. Fortunately age and experience had mellowed me and they escaped scot free.
