Test of your strength begins when someone gives you a seat of power.
Suppose an honest man is given a post of a High Court Judge. What happens from next day?
Serpents of Temptations start circling him from the moment he sits on seat of Justice.
These Serpents of Temptations are deadly. They will attack him when he may have a moment of weakness.
And the corrutors? They start circling him like a whirlpool of Black Oil.
Their aim is to somehow tame you and to make you corrupt.
If you refuse to be corrupt, a campaign of false allegations will begin to brand you as corrupt.
Gradually, for persons who are honest from core, strenth begins to come from the Chair of Power itself. They begin to learn the art of balancing the Good and The Bad.
To do this they have to rise above both, the Good and the Bad.
But whatever he may do, this is like walking on edge of sword all the time. One false step and he goes all the way down, down and down.
A Judge really feels relieved from this tension only when he retires.
If you are a Junior lawyer, preparing for judgeship, it may help you to think over this in advance to be well prepared to fight against the Serpents of Temptations.
