Introspecting others

We tend to get infuriated when someone says a word, which is against our perception and beliefs. Our upbringing never brought a concept of accepting that we are different and so are our ideas. We never learned to respect someone's view. 

Now you must be wondering that what a silly topic i choose to discuss. but hey!

In my defense it is one of the major reason why we go through wars or fights.

World is a small place but when we look out for ideas, they are never ending.

The thing is in the process of growing up we never gave much thought to what other person thinks. We have a firm belief about our perception and when someone tries to challenge it, we get defensive. We so much get into it, that we forget that maybe, maybe the other persons perception might be reasonable. There are two kinds of truth;

1) my truth.

2) Your truth.

For example, the barbarians who attacked the rich land of India did so to earn wealth for themselves and their community however the natives of India experienced the attacks as ruthless barbarian acts. Similarly in order to facilitate our lives we are expanding our civilization at the cost of our ecology however the other forest creatures of our planet experience it as a ruthless act by humans. What we are doing in the name of development is good for us but its a life taking decision for the other creatures.

CONFUSING? Well you wont be anymore after reading this.

"Truth is a hypothetical illusion created by an individual based on his/her knowledge and belief". 

A person will be able to see a situation only to a  point, till where his knowledge allows him to. They might not have a full clear picture of a situation due to insufficient knowledge. To see the truth you have to judge all the aspect of the situation, without judging it. The moment we see someone doing anything which is inappropriate according to the society, we start pegging that person as an outcast. We start believing that he is yet another person with abnormal thinking. In other words we simply start calling them 'pagal' (crazy). A person with different kind of analytical skills is a misfit in our society. Most of us choose not to accept them among us.

You all must have come across various situations where you just get into an argument because what the other person was speaking was completely opposite to what you think. In these kinds of situations most of us choose not to get out of the argument due to 'big fat reason' that we often call EGO. Who gets impregnated whenever someone tries to defy us.our society have defined what a normal person behaves like and if  we come across anyone who do not posses those qualities then according to the society they are useless, as they can not benefit society in anyway. We repel a person who is different and by doing so we repel his point of view. And this creates a situation of intolerance. In these kinds of situations, it is to be understood that all such issues comes from arrogance. Thinking that your way is the only way and all others are wrong is simply an egoistic arrogance. The one who keeps his arrogance aside, accepts others and does not face most of the difficulties that others face.

 A child does not face any issues because he does not think he is intellectually superior. So he is untouched.
