There are two types of people in the world.
Ram and Krishna.
Ram always followed the path of truth, never lied, and never tricked anyone. Even if he lost so many things but he walked on the thorny path to reach the destination.
1/4
Krishna knew his destination, he too got a thorny path, but he played tricks to fool others to successfully reach his target. You may call him a cheater, but yes, to save humanity he cheated Kauravas and helped Pandavas.
2/4
In recent times we had & have two leaders who followed & follows the same style.
Vajpayee and Modi.
Vajpayee stepped-down for not having 1 vote.
Modi plays tricks and never stepped down.
They both have the same destination but follow different paths.
