On disturbances in life and their place in our life

So long as an animal is petted, he reacts nicely. But the moment he is antagonized he rebels. The whole violence in his nature comes forth.

So it is with man. As long as things go smooth, he assumes he is happy. The moment one of his family member behaves against his taste or like he is disturbed. In case of external disturbance like loss of finance or job, pandemic or any such event, man will find himself shaken up. His balance is found lost. He struggles due to these disturbances of life. And they in turn bring out fear, pain, confusion and anger in him. It is then that some men realize that they are disturbed not because of ‘the facts of life’ but because of the conditioning. 

Yes, we condition everything in life. Look at yourself. Look around you. Everything about you is conditioned. You have conditions for everything and everyone in our life. For eg: we condition – a. how our children are to behave, talk, walk, read, eat and even achieve in life.

‘We want our children to be genius’! say many. We want!(Stress is on WE WANT). We treat them as if they were our puppets/dolls and are to behave as we please. We don’t see them as ‘individuals’. Our complaint with our parents was that they controlled us and our lives. We are no better with our kids. Isn’t it?
