Misapprehensions of mind.


No wonder our elders told us that success and failure are two sides of same coin.I absolutely think its very true. The ways you walk in life is so much depends on that coin. I mean your approach for life is so much different if the coin flips in other way rather than your way. If in case of success you barely bother to think the other way around. I don’t want to sound pessimist but if things don't turn out your way then it surely it affects the way you look at things. If People say that hard work is all that is need to achieve success than the weight age of success should be always more than failure. Than how is possible that success and failure are two side of same coin?
I mean I never heard anyone saying “I worked hard for failure…..” showing that it can be rigged.
There is also the saying that “THE GRASS IS GREENER ON THE OTHER SIDE”. To be very specific I question the existence of this question. I mean do you really feel that he grass is green on the other side. How much more green is it? Now contradicting this age old phrase is THERE IS NO GRAY IN LIFE EITHER ITS BLACK OR WHITE. If the grass is greener on the other side than the second phrase is a piece of joke.
Just a small skip in rotation of that COIN causes your life becoming as miserable as a hole. Mostly in touch and go cases where the difference between success and failure is very close.
No wonder people go in depression in such cases. The best trick or the line used to cover up it is WHATEVER HAPPENS….HAPPENS FOR GOOD. You might think that I am sounding pessimist but its totally false statement and I totally don’t agree with it.
It’s an open challenge to you all honestly tell me that do you agree with this statement. Because I have many reasons to prove it wrong. Did World War II happen for good?
Invention of steroids, nuclear bomb, was Indira Gandhi killed for good? Did raavan kidnapped sita for good?
I think its like a curtain that is used to cover the mind and create a misconception. To create an illusion that others have succeeded where you have not and its not much difference in handwork or effort just the COIN mentioned above. I think mind of a human can be influenced and can be programmed and reprogrammed very easily and it's this characteristic that results in people saying that “the grass is greener on the other side” and “whatever happens….happens for good”. It just tries to find the least resistive path like current in a network having various resistive paths unless it is faced by one-way path. Then and only then the true strengths of human mind can be understood. These phrases are like sub-programmes which the mind uses where it isn't able to relate itself to practical situation and provide relevant solution. If you relevantly think all the three phrases contradict each others meaning. Like I said these are sub programs. I believe there are no significant meanings of these phrases. Its better not to use them more often….
Depths of depression are very deep and these phrases doesn't provide rationalization to it or help in any way from getting out of it.
