We all were born
with an ethical mind, told not to do wrong to anyone. We have always been like
this good and helpful. Always you and I restrain ourselves from breaking bad
and then one day the coin of life flip and now we are on the other side of the
life. We are bound to provide for our family and for those who are waiting for
us to bring their bread. We are bound to be a good citizen. But there are times
when one has only one option left—Breaking Bad.
A drastic change
or merely a lethal disease is enough to make a man loose his calm. A man working
hard to provide for his family will freak out under such squirming
circumstances.
Walter White was
one such man, a calm chemistry teacher, a loving husband and an admiring dad of
a handicapped son. He was everything his family needed. He drove a SUV around
to his job and back home. Life was not great for them but a sum of $46,000
yearly in Albuquerque
was sufficient to enjoy life. But then life has surprises planned for him; his
wife gets pregnant with a baby girl and few weeks into pregnancy he acquires
Lungs Cancer.
He keeps himself
calm and analyzes the situation and realizes he is Walter White the epitome of
Chemistry. He realizes his responsibility towards the coming baby and his
handicapped son. He decides to Break Bad and cook meth—a chemical drug—with
Jesse Pinkman—who himself is a Meth Head Junkie.
This is all you
need to know about Walter White. Now, is there a "Walter White" inside everyone of
us?
What a man full of expectation
is supposed to do when put under such disturbing circumstances. His all wrong
doings is unethical but is correct when seen emotionally. He was just another
guy saving every penny for his family. He never thought he will have to live
his family uneventfully.
It is always said that all of
us has that one talent which is enough to make us a hero. In case of Walter
White was it cooking Meth? Or he should have taken a different path. Well, we
may argue but the person who is under such dilemma can only say what he/she
goes through. It’s a difficult thing to realize ‘tomorrow I’ll not be here with
my family’. These kinds of thoughts are enough to make a man go crazy and do
random things.
Arguably saying there’s not a
Walter White inside all of us but surely there is a Heisenberg sleeping inside
everyone of us.

To me, Walter is a hero because he wanted to make sure his family will not have any financial problem after his death.
