Contrasting attitudes
When we have no choice but to succeed, we will do everything we can possibly do not to fail. We will work our asses off to not fail because failing means dire consequences. We will do what we think we cannot do because there isn't an importance about who we really are anymore. When one's mind is perfectly aligned with a unmovable goal embedded in groove, there is no second-guessing of decisions.
Because there isn't room to unmake any.
It is either do or die. Being completely one minded, we have the forces of the universe behind us to give us the additional inch, that extra inch to tide us over tougher times. When all our energies are focussed on an objective and the mind truly one, there is happiness found during rougher periods never before remotely thought possible. With a different mentality under the same circumstance, we experience suffering not bliss. Such is the importance of a firm commitment to a choice.
A committed decision means we rarely regret the choices we made, even if they don't turn out well. Each of these are opportunities for us to realise who we really are, the real self that we chose to veil due to societal pressure. Nobody can ever turn back time yet often we have a false sense of reality, that our lives are full of decision forks when it is merely a straight line. A short straight line that last mere decades before we burn out like a spent candle in the wind.
Every single of us is a unique story in the book of life. We live the way we want, the best we think we can under our unique constraints. Thus under circumstances, even a committed decision to be indecisive can brings happiness. That is the fickle nature of life.
I am very tickled. If only you knew what my last sentence meant... or perhaps you do!

ReplyDeleteLove the 2 statements above. I think I will quote you and the above someday. :)
Glad you like it Winky
ReplyDelete"When we have no choice but to succeed, we will do everything we can possibly do not to fail" - this kind of mentality is what PAP preaches and is very dangerous. People will do anything including evil, wicked, harmful things to people, children and things. That why you can see why PAP choose to do certain things that are very harmful in the long term.
ReplyDeleteOnly if you don't have a strong moral grounding would you do evil, wicked, harmful things in order to succeed.
DeleteI have never seen anyone coming out with so much crap! So much so that the strong facade you illustrated through your postings is minuscule in reality. The real you is nothing like what you preach.
