Me Big Boss!

A single most important issue with human nature is its tendency to look for something it can not tackle. Complications spring up more because we want them to. Implicitly, it is a boost to any human’s large ego. What could also be the case, (which I have concluded after much deliberation) is that we constantly look for attention. If not in the form of approval, then in the form of pity. If not from near-and-dears then from ourselves but we want to know that we are dealing with life just perfectly.

We want to figure out all the nuances and sometimes nuances that don’t exist. We want to have a control over situations that are uncontrollable by making ourselves believe it is within bounds of human control. A simple example is an everyday argument. I’m not saying that there is absolutely no reason to put forth your point of view but more often than not, we want to simply raise issues so that we can tackle them. Not meaning to sound like a saint from the Himalayas but I do understand this from experience. I have tried this several times… let go of some issues completely. If someone says something you don’t like, don’t utter a word. Simply nod and try looking for a reason to like the point made. If you cant find any, still shut up and go ahead with the conversation. Then, if you still feel an urge to refute, go ahead. But you will definitely sto being a control freak or at least feel nobler than the rest of the world.

Think about it while I go and do some more deep thinking… (deep breath taken and eyes shut)
