One of Mahabharata’s key lessons is to accept people as they are and not be judgmental about people.
Everyone has some flaws, even the greatest people have some negative aspects to their lives. At some time or another, all of us are put in to a situation where we do something we might regret later. Life is like that. What Mahabharata teaches us is that we can’t judge people, not even ourselves, because of what we did at a pinch. Emergencies make us do things we never thought we were capable of – in good as well as bad ways.
