The 2 most Dreadful C's- Comparison and Competition

“He got 92%, why can’t you get that??” “How dumb are you that you can’t even compete with your friend??” “He got his girlfriend so easily why am I not getting any??” We all see these kind of comparisons done regularly in front of us by our parents, relatives or amongst our friends. Comparison results in competition which creates many kind of unbalances in anyone’s life like trust issues, depression, frustration, ego, etc. We are definitely into a competitive world but finally it is our choice to be a part of that competition or to lead a normal life. Let’s talk with an example- You are going on a highway in Maruti Alto with your wife and children, enjoying every moment with your family and suddenly a BMW car cuts down your way overtaking you. Seeing this, your mind also starts creating desires to overtake that car and so you start driving at a high speed. Driving at high speed needs maximum concentration on road and traffic and so you won’t be able to enjoy wit...

THE ULTIMATE FREEDOM

First of all, HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY to all my Indian Friends. On 15 th August we got freedom from the rule of British Empire and we were now free to make our own constitution. This is 2020 and having completed 72 years in our freedom still one question arises- Even after having everything, are we really having internal freedom or satisfaction???? So let’s talk about it and know what is the ultimate freedom that’s required. Everyone’s natural desire is to be free from all the difficulties that are been faced by them. But just after birth, we are set into the rules for living a life either by our parents/guardians, our own selves or dharmas. According to parents, these rules are set to make their child suitable for their better future. According to children, they follow it to have a luxurious life. And according to dharmas, they do it to make our next life better than this. Without even thinking of what’s ahead we just start flowing in the direction where others are...

ANGER- A negative emotion???

What is Anger? Anger is a cluster of negative emotions which includes your body (physical), mind (mental) and will (desire) which is having a tremendous amount of strength in it. But is it really a negative emotion?? Or are we just taking it in a negative way? Anger is neither negative nor a positive emotion. It totally depends on how we handle it. It can act as a creative force to bring some change as well as it can act as a destructive force to harm our own selves as well as our surroundings. Just like any other emotions, Anger also needs a path, a path which is needed to be set by us. As talked earlier, anger can be destructive (wrong) or can be creative (right). Let’s talk about them in detail         Feelings of Disappointment, hurt, sadness, rejection,  embarrassment, pain etc leads to anger but this kind of anger provoked is in a wrong way. Yes whatever happened which led to sadness was not correct but still it doesn’t require ...

When Expectation meets Reality

Our generation has a common question to his/her friend/partner that, “Why are you expecting so much from me?” Firstly expectations are common for all people. Each and every person expect more or less from a particular person depending on their level of friendship. The more close you get to someone, the more are the chances of increasing expectations. The thing is some show or tell the other person and some keep it in their mind. If we think that others should not keep any expectations from you, isn’t that also one kind of expectation??? There is only one way of any person to stop expecting from you and that is by having a total memory-loss of that person. But is it practically possible? There’s no need to think of the answer. Let’s have a talk about dealing with these expectations. If you feel that the other person is expecting much more from me, then don’t just bounce on him for having so many expectations. Instead try to understand that person’s point of view for ...

Relationship or Friend? Who are more important at different phases of life...

(Below stated article is based on ideal conditions and not specific to particular person) Friendship and relationship are two different things with their own time period. Also we can say that Relationship is the 2 nd step of friendship. 1)     TEENAGE TIME ( AGE:- 15-20 YEARS) In teenage period, it is more important to build a strong friendship rather than focusing on boyfriend/girlfriend. Why??? At this period of our life, we start to have some sense for making up a strong friendship and a group to enjoy. Now if we directly jump to relationship instead of concentrating on friends, the flaws that we may face are:- ·          To build and maintain a good relationship, it requires some dedication of time and as teenage period is the core time of studies (10 th & 12 th ) our free time totally goes in maintaining it and can’t dedicate more time towards friendship. From this we can say that we b...

Trust and Its Issues

TRUST means relying on someone’s judgements or promises. Trust is a step-wise and time-acquiring process based on the behaviour of the second person. Trust can be attributed to relationships between two persons, nations or person-technology. Trust is result of compassion and love. When we truly feel for the other person’s likes and dislikes, mutual understanding is created between us which results in trust. Trust is created when we have a belief in something or confident expectation about something. We all go to temples or pray to god as we have a belief that god will always listen to us and help us sooner or later and so we trust him for letting us out of our situation. We know that our parents have more experience of life than us so we trust their judgements for us on being right or wrong. Talking about the trust issues created between two people, its major reason is to have a competitive nature . Keeping a competitive mind and always thinking abo...
