Getting hurt...n then trying to rationalize it with a Blog Post :) Ironic...but helpsSo...it begins! Why does one get hurt? Is it others' behaviour? People who do not give the slightest thought to what their actions may mean to another? Knowingly (or unknowingly) they are not concerned with what another person thinks and feels and what he goes through and what he expects...
Hmm...so the problem statement is in place. Let us begin with the analysis! Let us begin with the terms used! so the ones that interest me/draw my attention are...People, Another, Hurt, Knowingly, n last but not the least EXPECTS!
So,who are the people who hurt one...n who gives them the right to hurt oneself?
Answering the second question first, we reserve the right to get hurt or not to get hurt by anyone or anything n we are the ones who give another 'person' the authority to hurt us! So this another person, or people in our parlance, are somewhere important to us or mean something to us. probably they are not as 'other' as we think in our moments of complain. Probably...!!!
Ok, second now...who is the Another?
Of course its the 'victim' (LOL) of the 'hurt' or ourselves! and then self is NEVER wrong!!! Can't be...can it?
Hurt...what is it?
Mostly, it ain't material, it does not matter what is done/not done...probably what matters is the feeling that went amiss... :( on the part of the 'People' (defined above :P) But then can u make another person feel anything that he/she does not feel? Sounds possible...?? Doesn't to me! nevertheless it is a tough proposition to accept! even for me (not that i am wisdom personified...just that i am the author, so i deserve some creative freedom of imagination!)
Expectation Now....the root cause of ALL evil in the world!
The problem with us is that we are too much in love with the idea of being ourselves! Now, how is that related? I'll explain! when we hold ourselves so dear, we invariably end up thinking that the thoughts that are our thoughts are the most genuine...our feelings, our ideas, our way...is the best. And being good responsible global citizens(**hyperbole is a figure of speech) we want the world to be perfect, in all its day to day living! How better to do that in a way different from mine??Simply impossible...why? coz I, my dear friend, am PURRFECT!!! :)
So where lies the root cause if not in our ideas of ourselves and in our expectations of seeing others as our own mirror images!!! On second thoughts...wont it get real boring if we had real mirror images all around...probably we would manage to find a few flaws that mar our perfection!!! I don't know...will know some day! till then, do not disturb...I AM BUSY....loving Myself!!! Cheers...
