It’s quite some time now that I have been thinking on taking up my “resolution” for the New Year, “A blog a month”, but eventually turns out that I had to struggle to find out some time for myself from myself, to take this task to an implementation level. What an irony!!!
Well anyways, I am here now against all the odds, with the determination and hope to pen down some of the “random thoughts” running in my mind.
To give you an idea about what I am going to bore you today with is, the greatest creation of GOD “HUMAN” and “his FEELINGS”.
There are a lot of brilliant theories by a lot of geniuses, after a lot of observations, analysis and calculations, who have given us a detailed description of all the characteristics that are possible to “being human”. The theories explain details varying right from the physical anatomy of the human body to the behavioral aspect of the same human. And it’s quite amazing that the rules/theories laid out explain all this with much accuracy (Of course!! After all they have all been deduced after studying humans only. How stupid of me!!!)
But the one thing which fascinates me about these underlying mechanisms is, where does it all come from? Yes I am talking about the behavioral aspect of the human being. Scientists have explained that all these happens due to the various activities happening in the brain based on the various reactions, signals received by the brain in different walks in life. But even after the logical explanations given (available in bulk), my brain is not able to process this one simple question, How?
To make it clearer, let’s see it with what is being called as an “example“ by the humans (just trying to be funny. I know it is ridiculous!! Sorry!!). Lets proceed to the example.
Ex: We are all aware of the various emotions that we have i.e. love, sadness, fear, shame, shyness, hatred, jealousy, anger (which you might be feeling at this point of time), happiness etc… But how does this work? No, really how does this work? Again scientists have explained these phenomenons also, but not going into the technicalities here. Rather looking into the actuality, how can we trust that whatever we feel is actually the true feeling? What if the emotions expressed aren’t just a mask on top of your true true feelings? What if deep down we feel differently but aren’t able to understand it or rather even after understanding want to deliberately remain ignorant about it?
There are people who have expertise in the art of deceiving/deception. People who are smart enough to know the exact feeling they feel but not only just suppress it rather show a feeling which is tailored to make the other person feel what he wants to feel (for better or for worse), which is again interesting to me coz this shows the capability of the human mind/brain to overpower even the chemical reactions going on in the brain just by sheer logical/illogical calculations (again going on in the brain), something similar like a MANUAL OVERRIDE.
What I feel is that it takes a lot of time and understanding (again which comes with time or hardships) to really be able to tell the exact feeling and emotions. But say, for argument sake, we all understand exactly how we feel about something or someone; do we just hide our true emotions/feelings to deceive ourselves from our true feeling, to fit in to the society or just trying to protect the other person?
The bigger question is should we actually show our true emotions? Or should we actually remain honest to ourselves, our feelings and more importantly to the other person in expressing what we truly feel? Does this act of showing the true feelings make us a non caring person, a person who doesn’t give a damn to other people or their feelings?
These are a few questions which require a lot of observation, analysis and calculations to reach a clear understanding about things. And the usage of these powerful tools (emotions) varies from person to person but should be used with extreme caution. After all no one is similar and each of us has/might have different perceptions about the same things (Glass half empty – half full philosophy).
Again, this is a something, I personally feel (many might differ), worth brooding over, since at the end it helps you understand yourself better. It helps you make better relations, relations based on true feeling which really can last long. And best part about this, it makes you a better HUMAN BEING, the greatest creation of GOD.
Signing off for now.
Till then. This is your friend always. J
