The problem comes when we feel that whatever we do is perfect. When we think that we know everything and then what more is there to learn? The truly knowledgeable always feel that they know nothing. Newton has himself said that what he had discovered is not even equal to a sand particle lying on the shores.
Had a look at the picture? What do you make of it? Here are 12 different ways you can perceive the same picture.1. Leaf/flower petal 2. Candle flame 3. Coconut shell 4. Joined hands 5. The gap between two buttons on a shirt 6. An opening of a bag 7. A shape of an eye 8. Opened Zip 9. Window 10. Bindhi 11. Conch shell 12. Water drop
And there are more ways to perceive this. So one can imagine about every situation in life. In logic there is a principle. If something is true for any arbitrary element, It is true for everything in this universe. Likewise every situation in life can be perceived in different ways by different people.
So how can we expect others to react in our own terms? Let me tell you an example. If you give a sweet yummy chocolate to a child, he/she will love you for it but if you give the same to a diabetic he/she may think you are sadistic.
Everyone around us is actually very good, they are the best in fact. It is only our preconceived notions and partial knowledge that makes a happy situation a living hell.
Mr A. is standing in the shade of a tree. A monkey is swinging from branch to branch above. A group of people nearby are looking at where the man is standing and are laughing. At once the man is full of suspicion. Are they laughing at me? Their laughter is so irritating? What is wrong with them? I better run away from here. Little does he realise that they are actually laughing at the monkey on top of the tree.
I am no sage or saint or sadhu or a genius but an ordinary human being full of petty desires and uncontrolled emotions. I have read many blogs seen a lot of my friends blogging, but they all had one thing in common. They were full of their achievements, their passion and their experiences.
I would like to dedicate this small space in the internet to good positive lightening strokes that entire my mind on and off.
Negative feelings, unnecessary worry, stress, anxiety and tension really drains me out of my energy so why not think positive at least while composing for this blog. What say?
Life is subject to so much experimentation. You succeed in some and you lose some but a true scientist never gives up on his mission. So why not aim to become a scientist?
There is never an end to progress. Even if one feels that one has done something to an utmost perfection there is always scope for creativity.
I end on the same note I started. We can be creative in our attitude, our thoughts and our perceptions.
More to follow don't miss it. Till then. Bye for now.
