A sense of denial is always what prompts people to escape. But escape where? Our society is so much intertwined that if you run from one door, you will land up knocking a wrong door. This probably is more perilous and turbulent than accepting what is under our control.
Yes, you are right I am talking about the complexes of majority and minority, rather superiority and inferiority. Very intersetingly both this characteristics lie within us. one comes out when the other is dormant. We tend to behave recklessly and shrwedly and expect the other person to follow the dictum that we prescribe. Majoritarians relinquish their power of control through numbers and decide terms and conditions for the minority, while the minority suppresses their sense of denial, and act vulnerable or rather a sense of accepatnce validates the majoritarian's dikatat.
These days a growing tendency of sense of denial is rising rapidly. Probably this denial leads to people getting together faster and form a majority. Thus landing up with no place for acceptance. We are always running as if time is short. How do we presume time is short? Time can never be short, it is 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and 365 days a year. How do we presume then time is short? Why are we all trying to overrule this fact as if our time is short? A sense of accepting this bare fact in everyone's mind boggles up in such a manner that, all of us try to deny that we have plenty of time in our hand. For instance, say Mr. X wants to be rich and famous by 25, he does everything to become rich if not famous. He accumulates enough wealth and fullfil his mortal post-modern desires of a big bunglow and fleet of cars. He marries at the right time, has kid, but still he isn't happy. He thinks he has less, a sense of denial runs in his mind is such frames that he projects he doesn't have enough.. So Mr. X starts working harder to become famous, by the time, he becomes famous, his child is already in college and his wife's beauty has started wrinkling. The day he realises his sense of denial and have been escaping from many things, his sense of acceptance becomes so brutal that he feels he is left alone. I presume that's where Mr. X believes 'If you reach the summit, you will be left alone'.
Interestingly, the majority of us are like Mr. X, the sense of denial of what we have is so strong that the sense of accepting what we have can overpower it. By the time, the sense of accepting comes to us, we try to rewind and re-start from the beginning and re-structure our priorities.like Mr. X. Can we? Think again, that's not mortal capabilities are made for. Mortality will overrule your mere existence if you try to deny something precious and accept something materialistically exclusive. Matrials can be bought, but desiring a better one strangulates the hope of happiness inside your soul. We can never escape anywhere from this bare truth.
Just turn back once, as it is an International Hugs Day, hug the one you feel precious more than clinging on to your computer monitor or laptop, or fiddling with pads and smartphones. Hug yourself first, that's more important. Then accept the one that you have denied for so long. Be patient to your heartbeats, tolerant to your mind, and perseverant to your soul, we can see many things that we overlooked for years. If someone has hurt you, and you aren't in touch, just leave an email saying 'sorry' works wonders. You will accept something you have denied.for long.
No I am not here to promote anything or preach anything, I just felt like talking something to my friends whom probably I haven't kept in touch for long, hugged them for a longer time. A sense of denial has always been in my mind, probably in form of majoritatrian's trait, as all of us do, I felt I haven't touched the chilled dew drops on the leaves of the garden, stared at the rising orange ball, feeling the droplets of fog on my naked arms, heard the birds chirruping around, taken the fragrance of the used clothes of the person I love most, and many more things which I have been denying. No I wasn't escaping, nor trying to control time, I was just brooding, pondering a bit about life at large. Are we all the same? If so, then where is our innocence gone? Why do we always try to pretend to be busy? Why don't we care for the fellow passenger on public conveyances? Is playing Candy Crush so important that we lost our humane touch?
Think, just once, about what is written here. Its not spiritual lecture, or a sermon preaching; it's simple about simplicity and tranquility in smaller things. It's about finding peace and serenity, it's about accepting things we deny, its about everybody whether minority or majority, it's about us ---the human being.
