Its sometimes so difficult to just keep on doing things that don't please you. There are times you may shut your mind to thoughts that agitate you or make you indignant. But that is not possible all the time. Its strange sometimes to understand people as well. While they may root for a cause and a show a holistic approach to things in open, a hypocrisy underlies each one of them. For small little things, people are ready to forget the larger purpose, the larger scheme of things. Personal small gains overshadow the bigger achievement.
It is times like these that play on a free mind that accepts not, the social bondage and the bourgeois thinking that abides the common thought. Such ideas seem so foreign and alien to me that when people bring them up, it agitates me. It is strange to think that people are caged within such small perceptions that they refuse to think beyond. And when it is not possible to change ideas, the mind heats up. It becomes restless and then things happen that shouldn't.
Anger takes the better of rationality and this is not a good thing. At these times, there is a need to calm the mind and let it empty itself of all thoughts. Cleanse it thoroughly and make it afresh. Its like emptying a pitcher of all its contents and letting it fill again, a little more carefully now, so that the contents do not spill over. Its essential to siphon the contents at regular intervals into the sink so that the pitcher remains relatively empty to take in more. That probably is the right way to manage the anger, when it takes hold. That probably is the solution.
As I finish this blog, the storm seems to have abated for now. The mind is calm and equanimity prevails. The pitcher has been emptied. I will remain calm for some time now. I have found a sink in expression of thoughts through the means of words. This will hopefully keep me calm and free. Thoughts closed......
that's really well written !!
