Gyan Bhandar - 9

As seen by others

I sometimes feel the world is going full retard,

I sometimes wonder how you could even think that way,

I sometimes like the way you think,

None of us can control the way we think,

The way I think depends on the way I see things,

We choose to see things from our own perceptions.

We see only a limited area of the circle, and blind towards the remaining area,

The way we judge, the way we believe, our truths, our morals, our righteousness all are based on how we see things feeding to how we think.

As seen by others - each subject, person, situation, crisis, politics, politicians, traffic, finances and the present day hot topic (Religion) will have people seeing and thinking from different lenses and thinking!

Let's become a Pluto!

Pluto was discovered in 1930,

They called it a Planet,

They downgraded Pluto from its 9th Planet status to a Dwarf Planet in 2006,

While all this discovery, naming, renaming was happening, Pluto always existed and irrespective of what few humans sat in a room and decided it's fate.

Infact Pluto didn't give a Fuck to what Humans thought about it Million KMs away.

It is what it is, no matter what few intelligent humans think what it is.

Irrespective of what People think, criticize, support, worship, hate, love Modi, RaGa, DBoss, Gurus, they are what they are, they do what they do.

Can we become a Pluto? Do what we do, if we think something is Right, it got to be right.

The difference between us and Pluto is, it doesn't even know we exist, it doesn't even know what we think!

Are you abusing me or giving Constructive Criticism?

The subtlety between abuse, criticism and highlighting issues, determines if it's a conflict or a scope for improvement.

When a client raises an issue on my application, when someone talks ill about my City, when the non biological lordship is criticized, when Pappu is made fun of, when my religion is ridiculed, when my belief system is questioned, we all tend to get aggressive.

In all the above scenarios, the other party always believes he is doing constructive criticism or pointing issues, but the other party always hears it as an abuse.

The problem is with our urge to attach sentiments, and get emotional over our Job, City, favourite Politician, Religion.

Looks like emotions and logic don't work together, and we go all out to justify, defend and get offended.

Afterall, we are wired that way, to attach emotions to everything, that helps us own it.

Abusing, criticizing is easy, it is in fact satisfying (though sadistically). And the shameless justifications always turn out to be aggressive.

It is my generic observation that each of us tend to lose it when we are belittled on any of the four topics: Profession/Job, Religion/Caste, Favourite Politician, City/Home Town!
