There is a famous saying that “a negative mind /Company never give you a positive life”. No doubt, the home environment/society and company play an important role in shaping the life of a child. F. Douglas says that “it is easier to build strong children than to repair broken adults”. I am going to share the most shocking story with the readers that how does unfriendly home environment make a well-behaved child to a notorious criminal. No doubt, in the absence of love, care and friendly environment, life becomes miserable.

There was a person (painter/Musawir), who was curious to explore the beauty of nature. So, he remained busy in search of beautiful things to draw their pictures and placed them in a room spared for this purpose. He enjoyed to make it his routine practice in his life. He was so excited that he spent his entire life in collection of pictures of beautiful things, such as pictures of beautiful places, mountains, trees, buildings, animals, birds, stones, men, women, children, valleys, springs, rivers etc. He always deemed himself to be a successful person, who succeeded to make beautiful collections of each and every things. People loved to visit his house to enjoy his beautiful collections. One day he felt that the picture of angel (Farishta) was missing from his collections. He came out in search of angel to draw his picture and place it in his room. Of course, it was impossible to find angel, but he decided to find a good person, who behaves like angel, because in his point of view, the people who have good qualities are like an angel.
.
One day on his way, he saw a few children playing in the street and he observed that the youngest child among them behaved quite differently. The child helped the aged people to cross the road, gave path and facilitated females and when children fighted with each other, he resolved their differences, etc. He observed the child for a few days and interacted with him to know the reasons behind his well-behaved, positive response and good manners. Because, he was very impressed with his sound behaviours, facilitation and responds to others with respectful manners. He found the child having so many good qualities and he declared him an angel. So, he decided to get permission to draw his picture. He drew his picture and wrote on the top of the picture as an angel and placed it in his room.

After the passage of ten to fifteen years, he felt that the picture of Devil/Shetan was missing from his collections. He decided to visit central jail to find a person behaves like Devil/Shetan, because in his point of view, those who got involved in criminal activities are the followers of Devil/Shetan. So, he met the Supdt of central Jail and asked for providing a list of prisoners to enquire about the reasons behind their involvement in criminal activities. He got the list of prisoners and desired to meet a prisoner, who got involved in many murdered cases, bank robbery, kidnapping and many other criminal cases. He declared the prisoner as a Devil/Shetan because of his unbelievable criminal activities and met him to know the reasons behind his involvement in criminal activities. The prisoner told the whole story of his involvement in criminal activities that he was very well behaved child and followed good manners due to the nice training and teachings of his parents. That was the reasons, people called him angel. But, unfortunately his mother passed away soon and father got second married, the home environment became unfaviourable and unfriendly for his personality development and character building. He compelled to leave home in a very childhood and joined such bad companies accidentally, who encouraged him to do the same what they were doing. As a result, he got involved in criminal activities and was put in jail. Now I realized that how environment/society damages the life of a person. No doubt, bad company spoils good behaviours of a child. Frustration and ignorance compel the child to join such company, which ruins his life and happiness. There is a famous saying that “a man is known by the company he keeps”. The person/Musawir personally felt that the prisoner was really the follower of Devil/ Shetan. So, he asked the prisoner for drawing his picture for record. He drew his picture and wrote on the top as Devil/Shetan and placed it in his room.

After the passage of many years, the person/Musawir was going to market, on the way he met an old man with smiling face and asked him for having a cup of tea with him at his home nearby market. The old man accepted the offer and he left for his house with him. When reached his home he asked the old man for having a seat in his guest room, where he decorated his painting collections of various beautiful objects/things. The person/Musawir went to his kitchen for order of tea. When he came back to his guest room, he surprised to see an old man standing with the pictures of angel and Devil/Shetan, having tears in his eyes. He shocked to see him in a very upset condition. He desired to know the reasons of shock and sadness of an old man. While he took him his home for discussions and interactions. The old man told the whole reasons of his shocked and sadness that the picture of angel was his own picture, which was taken by you (painter/Musawir) when he was a child and his parents were alive. Parents loved and cared him very well. His home environment was very friendly for healthy growth and he behaved well with everyone and the people called him angel. That is why after drawing my picture you wrote angel on the top of my picture. Unfortunately, my mother passed away soon and my father got second married. My step mother was so cruel that she made my life miserable and my father seemed to be helpless in front of her.
.
Due to unfriendly home environment, I left home and joined such companies, which badly affected my life. I was sent to central jail because of criminal cases, where you interviewed me and drew my picture and wrote Devil/Shetan on my picture. This made me so sad that how unfortunate was I that when my parents were alive I was considered to be angel by the people like you, but later on, my mother passed away and father became helpless as a result, I suffered a lot due to unfriendly environment and bad company, I was declared as Devil/Shetan.
