Being yourself along with 'Gandhigiri'!
I would have loved acting as my career but I hate to act before my near and dear ones. But sometimes world expects you to be unnatural and diplomatic. Moreover, probably I do that (not unnatural but hiding my inner feelings) with the hope that the misunderstandings anyone may have will get cleared, if I will be what I am instead of showing any grudges. Sometimes trieng to clear misunderstandings/confrontation makes things more complicated and people end up saying things to defend themselves and to justify there actions. The best thing I guess in such scenario is "Gandhigiri" (following mahatma gandhi's ideas as in being You i.e. a normal good human being & keeping the patience of giving other person opportunity to learn on there own by seeing your consistent kind/natural behaviour) which means doing the right thing. Now the word 'right' in itself is so wide and wague. But by right here I mean is - instead of bringing your ego and running out of the situation or arguing to prove your point, you have to give others a chance to know you more and for that you have to be just YOU - a good being what you orginially are (even though its not easy sometimes especially if you are kind of hurt) and giving people chance to let themself realise that there thoughts are mere misunderstandings. I know I am sounding may be a little complicated here but I hope it makes sense.

I think in today's world, we all need to follow this.
ReplyDeleteGood to read n I hope you share more of these with us ;)
So yea. I won't always be nice and I learned writing for almost the 3 years of my college. So, here's your first critical remark - use commas, dude. :P
ReplyDeleteI don't believe in the general goodness of man. Not that everyone is evil, but not everyone's inner conscience is smart enough to realise it's mistakes. If we were to look at the film Munnabhai, the characters had to make exaggerated efforts of niceness to get the required reaction from the "evil" characters.
So, be yourself and be nice but to expect that it will bring about a change in anyone's personality is setting yourself up for disappointment. Not everyone has the same mental, emotional and spiritual capacities. Kapish?
