Chapter 7
“It has been said, ‘time
heals all wounds.’ I do not agree. The wounds remain. In time, the mind,
protecting its sanity, covers them with scar tissue and the pain lessens. But
it is never gone.”
-
Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy
No matter how hard you
try, some wounds never heal. And some humiliations never pass into oblivion.
They remain with you. In time, they become a part of you. At times, they try to
embitter you. At other times, they try to make you vengeful. You wonder whether
in your quest to exact revenge, you are becoming more like the person you
always hated. This thought humbles you, once again.
But what about the
professional ethics? Isn’t it applicable to the so-called noble profession of
practising law? Or has the profession lost it’s dignity because of some unworthy
practitioners? You wonder.
(Note: Section
35(1) of the Advocates Act, 1961, says, “Where on receipt of a complaint or
otherwise a State Bar Council has reason to believe that any advocate on its
roll has been guilty of professional or other misconduct, it shall refer the
case for disposal to its disciplinary committee.)
