Human mind is a very fascinating thing . It is complex , almost unexplored and relatively less understood in both its actual physical and emotional aspects. The way the mind processes emotions is still a mystery . In this post I am not going to elaborate on anything that I mentioned above . All I am going to talk about is a few questions that I have always wondered why are they not handled in an open and frank manner .
Disclaimer : I consider myself to be a crazy person . If you feel that some of my views are absurd , please refer to the first point and pacify yourselves.
I have always been termed as a weirdo , different , lonely and at most times crazy and insane . I am truly glad of all the above nicknames I have earned , as the people I have discussed with at least made an effort to think the way I do and then compare it with themselves and finally make a declaration ( or self authorized certification rather
)
# Why is there a need for euphemisms ?
In my opinion there is a reason why certain things are termed good and bad . By substituting a relatively harmless word for something bad , don’t you think the very purpose of differentiation is questioned ! Also , by accepting such substitutions , are we not increasing the width of the grey area between good and bad !
Consider the examples of sex and death , both are very hushed up topics. Until recently , they were never really discussed in an open fashion. I don’t really understand the need for covering up such topics as the former is a very natural thing and is the reason for man’s sustenance and the later is final step in the man’s life . Love it , hate it one just can’t ignore it or worse even think of stopping it. Another case is that of human wastes , colloquially shit and piss , its again a natural everyday process , why all the fuss to give fancy names !
# What is good and bad ?
Its all a reference point , as quoted in a famous song by Fort minor , ” One man’s trash is another man’s treasure , One man’s pain is another man’s pleasure… ” . What is good for me may not be the same for you and vice versa . With this sort of convoluted stalemate , then how does one define good and bad , especially the boundary between them. Is it right to eliminate good and bad and just say that these are conflicting viewpoints governed by the common aim meeting everyone’s needs ? If so , how can one justify the society’s needs if they do not meet a general consensus ?
# Finally , What is success ?
Is earning enough money success ? Is getting a secured life success ? If so how much money ? and what is the boundary for being secured ? from human perspective, the definition of success changes with every time frame , where the time frame itself is a variable . With this sort of complexity is it wise to calculate steps towards success ? Considering realistic situations and realistic people
who would always put their own personal safety and needs before those of the society , is it even reasonable to include society in this definition ? with all the ifs , buts and should-haves is it even rational to narrow down in a formula of success ?
Of-course a generalized formula for success would be the holy grail of mathematics and science ( & everything else! ). With the probability of that being similar to that of travelling faster than the speed of light
, is it worth feeling sad about ones failures, when the few successes(temporary as they may be) that one did pull out were against extremely high odds ? With good old Murphy’s laws giving punctual appearances , is it not wise to be contended with what one has .
With all this spilled out , my mind is free ( at least for the time being
) . I appreciate your patience for reading . Now you can happily stick up to your viewpoints and stay smug that you are not going to be deterred from them as they define who you are .
