Came across this beauty today:
A Man to Vivekananda:
"What is the reason for every misunderstanding?"
Vivekananda: The reason is, we see the people as we are but not as they are.'
We think because we can.
In the evolutionary process of the cosmos, do we really know anything? We are the literal Stardust. We are made of the same stuff scientists call the neutrinos. Neutrinos are created by neutron stars. Enormous, ginormous celestial bodies spewing matter that makes up life all over the universe.
All our existance on this beautiful planet, is not even worth a tiny speck in the cosmic scheme of things.
Then who are we really, why are we here thinking just because we can? Do we even need to think?
What has changed over the centuries that makes us so increasingly intolerant? Why do we find it difficult to tolerate? What have we made life to be, which forces us to express anger at a less than perfect mistake? With alarming alacrity we jump at everything wrong, willing to punish.
Where and more importantly why is this anger overtaking our souls?
Expectations from fellow humans seem to increase to unrealistic proportions with every new technology.
We are not machines. We are a part of existance which can imagine and create. Mistakes and learning's, kindness and forgiveness are the pillars on which todays uncompromising breakthroughs are built.
Money is one of those few things in life totally capable of ruining a strong relationship. Ofcourse, the other is emotions.
If you and your mind does not exercise strong control over what happens with money and emotions, it will eat up the more important aspect of your social life, which are called relations.
Man by default is a social creature. He wants to share. Good, bad, ugly and dirty. Be it about himself or be it about others. The earlier you define who to share what with in your life, the better. Work in increasing concentric circles. Keep the ones you "decide" to be close to, in the nearest ones. The farther the circle goes, the lesser the important people in 'your' life., and as an obvious consequence, the lesser the 'need' to share and reveal.
Man by default has this feature built in. They do it like this or bucketize folks. Either ways, its atleast a system. Women tend to rely more on emotions to guide them and hence making them instantly dislike the logical choices men tend to so readily make, seemingly without even a thought.
Whatever the case, get a system. Put names in it. Be flexible in terms of moving those names through levels in your mind. But don't be stupid about it. Most importantly, stick to your own decisions about sharing your life and it's stories. Don't be foolish and carry your life's events in your heart. That just leaves you with a lot of unnecessary baggage to carry around and to actually live your life. Drop that burden off. Relieve yourself.
Perceptions, another thing in life people talk a lot about and actually depend on. For real. Just know this, as long as the folks in your closest two circles know all the shitty dope about you, the world can go and be an idiotic sunbitch deprived of the pleasure of knowing the real you. Don't waste your precious time managing perceptions. Spend that time of yours sleeping if you don't have anything better to do.
Perceptions by nature will screw you. But they are flawed. Others will always find their story about you a lot more interesting than the evidence you present about yourself. What will you do? Go fight and make everyone change their mind? Not happening. People will just back stab more. In its stead, if your perception is really bothering you, move a few names from the outer circle in. Temporarily. Make them sweat forya.
Manage your energy better. You only have so much till you get your recharge by going to sleep.
Automate easy and stupid things in life. Have one less thing to worry about.
