“Issue is not if others are aware of it
or not. Issue is cat presuming that no one is seeing it. It’s presumption gives
it the confidence to drink the milk and also lap up the satisfaction that it
has fooled everyone!
What is, is not important. What one
thinks is. Because we believe and live in our mind and in mind if I have believed
that I have fooled everyone, I presume so. When on the contrary, I haven’t
fooled anyone but myself.
“How can I fool myself? I do know that I
am lying, manipulating, deceiving or cheating others. When I know that how can I feel that I am
right?” asked Swetha confused.
“Many times we don’t even want to believe
that we are doing so. We first convince ourselves to believe that we are doing
all this to help or protect others. We paint it with colours of concern,
affection and get away believing ourselves as good people sensitive to others
feelings. Once we believe that we are
not wrong in our opinion”.
I saw Swetha, Priya and Rahul nod their
head knowingly. Few others also seemed to understand what she was saying. But to
me, I was as much in confusion as before this talk. I didn’t know if it was because
I joined in the middle of conversation or I genuinely was dumb enough not to
grasp this. Yet I felt and I wanted to believe that this day didn’t go waste
for me. I may not have understood everything she said, yet it would keep working on my thought process and
someday I would understand this. Yes, it’s happened so many times before that
there was no doubt left in me atleast with regards to this issue.
Next I did get few points from this
conversation. But before I could catch further points, my phone rand and I had
to rush to address an emergency. No problem!
One thing was for sure. No one did
anything thinking they are wrong. I mean 90% of them. They did wrong thinking
it to be right. Just this thought was so funny, intriguing and yet liberating. Yes,
when I applied this to people who considered themselves as intelligent and well
informed, it seemed funny. These were the people who considered themselves as “Protectors
of Right” and “Punishers of wrong doers” and yet these were the people who were
doing more wrongs than rights and yet were proud of being right. How funny!”
The more I applied in various situations
and various people it was intriguing.
