Why not to be slaves of money or organizations?

Money… more and more of it!!!!This has become the most required element to live the life we WANTED :) in today´s money-centric society. Someone might disagree with my proposition. Does not matter, we all have individual perspectives and interpretations on money when it comes to jobs, family and life. My view is that we should earn enough money to spend on the things we wish to have to lead the life we imagine, yet being realistic at the same time. If people can afford to earn enough money for their own expenditure, there would be lesser thieves and many other social crimes.

This monetary based society had led to a very money oriented market where no deal would take place without money on whatsoever. Further, this creates ample opportunities for businesses to make money by creating necessities in our lives generating more requirements to spend the money we earn. What we should realize is the fact of money being volatile rather than being slaves of it. One would spend the whole life trying to make money, ignoring all opportunities to be with your loved ones and will not realize this fact till the end where there is no return for the times gone.

Moral is…. Earn money while spending it when required with your loved ones, for your loved ones and enjoy the time you have to the max :)

Why not to hate our parents when we become adults?

While being thankful to our parents for letting us live in this world as who we are, we should be respectful and grateful for the effort they took to make our lives better in every possible aspect. But I might be wrong and this might not be the case with some of us! (Pardon me! if that is the case, I was referring to most general cases that I had seen in my life).

From small kids, we grow into adults learning variety of lessons in life each and every day of our lives and our parents had played a major role in this “growing up” context. They have nurtured us to come far in our lives, sometimes sacrificing their time, wealth and opportunities. We might have had many days and times that our parents were not there for us when we wanted them the most. We might had faced and felt that we were alone in this world even though our parents were present.

But it is strange and crazy to see how the cycle of life goes……When we become adults and having kids, we would also pass days, times and moments when our kids want us the most, knowing that we also had a past such that we felt we were left alone. May be this life is too chaotic and confusing that every human forgets his previous stages of life and how he felt when he is caught up in the trap of rat race, called “living”!

Magical me and dear me! Why not to hate me?

You are the most valuable, precious entity that you ought to love and care for because there is only you on this whole planet who like yourself. You are so unique in every aspects and sense that it is completely in vain that one even attempts of becoming someone else or comparing yourself to somebody. Even that thought would be seen as ridiculous. Love yourself! Embrace you and care for you! Protect yourself and respect your emotions and thoughts. All this does not encourage you to become such a selfish person or self-centered human. Instead, my intention is to tell you all that we must learn to love and appreciate ourselves first, in order to be able to understand and love a fellow human.

If you love yourself and value you enough, you will appreciate your ambitions and realize your capabilities. You would know how difficult to live alone without having any expectation or fulfillment. Then you would apply the same theory about fellow humans and one would try harder to understand another human. We would tend to help others more generously and care for them more since we know very well what would be our feelings when we have to be in their shoes. Love yourself first! Then you would love the whole world plenty that you would hesitate do any bad cause for a fellow human because you know how much you value your life and that the same applies with others too. Just know that you are magical and unique in this world!!!!!! :)

Why not to cheat yourself at an exam?

Exam is when your skills or knowledge is evaluated and any person should not try to violate examination rules specially by cheating for the sake getting through the opportunity. You attend to a course not just because your parents push you, but because you actually value its end result. If you personally do not like or show any interest to follow the course, just don’t do it for the sake of doing something. As an example, one can pursue a bachelor´s degree realizing that it would lead him for better job opportunities and then better prospects in the society. Be conscious about why you are doing something in life always. I believe that if we really know why we enroll for a field of study, there will be less infringement and cheating at examinations.

You cheat at an exam reveals about you that you are not confident enough or worthwhile to get through that stage of life. Even if you cheat and get through one time, there will always be a second time in which you would not be able to escape. Sooner or later, your knowledge and capabilities would come into show and by that day people will laugh at you. Every action has an equal and opposite reaction, as Einstein once said and I personally believe in this rule to be very true with most of the scenarios in life. It is a fact that in life we all are not equally talented to do the same thing, so try to find your most passionate field. You do good deeds, and you will return better. If you do not know things, learn and become capable without cheating, since that means you end up cheating yourself only. Else, you will be in great danger when you are put into a situation, where you really have to do some real work by yourself only.

Why not super rich stop making money?

Super rich or the upper class in our societies do exist in big time in the present day and it is growing enormously whereas the other society classes are being affected  constantly with the bombarding news about these super rich life styles. Countries, governments and businesses are encouraging this class of the society to prevail and grow into more wealth in today´s world, where one in nine people is suffering from chronic undernourishment according to statistics. People who are promoting the super-rich crowd assume they can gain/earn more money when super rich invest on other facilities which in turn can be given to the middle and poor class people in a society and this fact has become merely a dream vision which had never come true. With super rich being more and more wealthy, their expenditures and expectations grow to a higher level for which they try to gain more and more money to satisfy them. But, this money supply is the only income that the other classes of the society have to survive. This had resulted in greater divisions among society levels that people have already started hating super rich kind.

Why authorities cannot have any control over the money flow of super-rich? Why government can´t bring special rules, regulations and tax schemes to take more from this upper class to distribute to the rest of the world and equalize their expenditures reasonably? Why even these super rich kind do not have humanity to observe what other human are going through in the world?

  

Massive Multiplayer Online (MMO) games, why not to be addicted to those?

One can argue about playing computer games for having both positive and negative effects. Yet, MMOs are a special category which has a very high rate of addiction within online gaming communities irrespective of the region you are coming from or your age or your life style due to its human elements like online chat and any other “getting to know” facilities embedded. Those are grown to an extent where people tend to find even life partners from this kind of a community while some of them seek only for friendship. Rather than being an entertainment factor that can be used to time pass, MMOs have grown big enough to capture larger adult crowd who are lonely in the real society seeking friends and partners in the virtual space while sharing emotional elements.

Becoming heroes and heroines while achieving numerous skills have become a day-to-day life requirement for some of the people who cannot simply resist. So it´s not only drugs that one could be addicted this much, MMOs also have beaten that level of addiction. I guess social networks have not reached this level so far, but soon to be. The sense of belongingness, rewards achieved upon success and the appreciation received when targets are reached had made these gamers to be glued into the environment where they tend to even define different virtual relationships. What does this whole context say about humans and their thinking? Are we becoming humans who can simply live the whole life in a virtual world? Will the virtual relationships override the validity and the emotional aspects of real world bonds?

Why not to migrate to an alien country for living?

Yes, it may sound very ridiculous. One might wonder what´s the heck? If you can afford to go, just go….yet there is no country treating you the same way that your motherland where you belong does. No matter for how long you were living in that country, no matter whether you obtained the citizenship of that country, still you would not be recognized as a true citizen who has a real say for the system or for that country. We all have our unique true identity only in the country we were born irrespective of the status or the money we have.

People migrate to another country for numerous reasons like better money, living standards, peace, independence, etc… But I agree that some people escape from their countries and cross borders just to safeguard their lives and families and I am not referring to such pathetic incidents in this post. What I want to highlight is that if migration means seeking better comforts, then it´s your fault that you cannot make your life better in the country that you were born. Could we sacrifice our belonging or true identity or self-pride for only materialistic values which are temporal until a civil war or some ethnic problem rises in that country? Could one survive in an alien community if the whole community goes against them? Throughout the human history, it was all about conquering new lands and overruling another nation for the betterment of a supreme nation. Could this situation be changed by today? Humans are still humans and the thought process is still the same.

One should try to uplift their own living standards from his own surroundings rather than migrating to unknown place or being slaves of another nation. If you value your society, racist issues or ethnic conflicts would no longer prevail.I guess people should do things to make their society better where they truly belong, so they do not have to look for better status from another community. I know this don´t sound very practical, but at least one has to try to make a difference. We should learn to value ourselves and respect individual´s pride and recognition in the community.

Love and affection, does it truly matter?

Love can be defined as the most predominant emotion throughout our life time that a person is longing for whether it is being parents’ love or partner’s love. Some people are very lucky from birth to receive that love every day that they live while sadly some of us are not exactly that lucky. What is the great deal in whether you are being loved and admired by someone else? Why can´t one lead their own life lonely? Well, the answer is really simple as that “being happy and content” to move forward in life. To tell the harsh truth, we all at some point in our lives feel that it is wonderful to have someone on your own to share your thoughts, views and rely upon to irrespective of you being extremely rich or poor or being well achieved in life or not.

One can argue saying love and affection are just another two emotions that are temporal and we can ignore the feelings to move on with the next stage. Yet again, these feelings may affect us in different ways at different stages in life. As a kid we seek for parents’ love and as we grow up into adults we tend to seek for partner’s love and caring more. But this does not mean that people stop loving their parents when they get a partner to their lives, as most people do. The fact is that love and affection towards your partner is a different kind of a feeling than towards your parents which happens at different stages in life. It is a responsibility of every human to share the love for partner with a great loyalty in order to lead a happy life and give love and caring for their parents and kids at the same time.

What we got to understand is these natural feelings are not abnormal or unusual but controlling those wisely and making someone else’s life happy while receiving love is individual´s great responsibility. The world would be a beautiful place if every human could love and care for every other human for the sake of mankind.

Friends……..good or bad?

I have made different types of friends throughout this time at different contexts, at different stages in my life and wonder sometimes what exactly the definition of friendship is by looking at the way I get treated from different friends. I have met some who are very dear to me, caring and worry about me the same way I feel for them. Also I have met some who are stage-passers in that period of life, just being friends only within that context. Some of the friends can be trusted very well and the others are not worth enough even for the word of trust. I wonder is it a problem of me only? Or is that how humans behave with others as when they see they cannot manipulate, they just don´t care. Is being a friend mean the same as manipulation another person according to your thought process?

According to psychological facts, humans tend to surround with another humans and that nature of ours had affected different people in different ways. For some making friends and having friends is a blessing and for some it´s a curse. Personally I like to talk with people and smile with them just in everyday life, but that does not mean all of them can become my friends! I do not know whether it is the case with everyone, but I have seen people who do not want to share even a smile with another human. I always wonder what is the criteria of making good friends who can cheer you up, whom can be trusted, which could be the filtering criteria. People lie all the time, but I don´t get why friends lie or cheat knowing that the other person would definitely figure it out sooner or later…..

Just sharing personal thoughts and experiences…. And always open for sharing ideas and thoughts.

Emotions & us…… should we be enslaved to emotions?

No matter where you are coming from, all of us do share same emotions and the ways we feel those are the same. You all can be very energetic and seeing things positively when you feel good and having positive happy emotions resulting a great nice day with cheerful moods. Similarly we all become grumpy and upset when we feel very low and negative about circumstances. Emotions, or series of chemical reactions happening with our brain and body….can we control it? Can we train our brains in a way to not to “feel” anything?

I guess the answer is YES!!! If we can realize being emotional is a temporal thing that prevails for a short duration (till the end these chemical reactions), it would help us in longer term to lead a healthy life too. As you may know the negative feelings lead to having negative effects on the health. Yet, the question remaining is, why is it so difficult to realize about these short term mind & body changes? Why can´t we train our brain to deal with these chemical changes easily by forgetting those and move on?
