The
human mind can be really fickle if we don't watch out! Its likes and dislikes
oscillate much more than the changing seasons. Maybe, in current times, the
seasons are also becoming as unpredictable as people.
We
must really ask ourselves why we are so lacking in consistency and why should
our will prevail each time? This seems to be a huge reason for our
inconsistency. "I"..."Mine"...Yes sir! We salute you. It is
and has to be only you and you... amazing! And this would also be fine if there
were no frequent variations in what came out of that "I" and
"mine". But the inconsistencies within short term consistencies which
I am calling "fickle" here seem to be endless.
Especially
when in a group. Group behavior, if you notice, is a typical example. A few
days back, I wrote about insecurities. Frequently changing parameters of
emotions are directly linked to the very same insecurities.
Often,
we misinterpret, and sometimes, wantonly misinterpret the words or acts of
people we are not too fond of or are even envious of. Where is the core issue? Of
course, within us. We actually don't have the courage to be ourselves and fall
short in our own eyes.
So,
fickleness leads to oscillations, and this soon becomes a chain. Like riding a
bike downhill without a break. We don't know how and where we are going to end
up. Because the bike is driven by "I" and "mine" whereas
the consistency is due to the ability to control the brakes .These are the "we"
which we fail to activate.
