Emotions nee' logic

Universe is so dynamic and versatile that sometimes a whole life is not enough to perceive it. we are just a freckle of dust in this whole dynamism .Our dreams, our  perceptions and jurisdictions are limited to a small patch of soil which gets wet and dry with our emotions from time to time. When winds of time and circumstances blow, we get carried away from one patch to another not knowing what to do.But ultimately when we touch the next unknown patch of our life, we start binding ourselves to that patch with emotions, in spite of knowing that the emotions are not enough to bind us to that patch again.That is the time our thought process steps in and we logically convince ourselves that this is the best way to deal with the present situation and as and when the next situation arises, it will be dealt with. And it goes on....
Scientifically and physiologically emotions and logic  arise from two different parts of the brain.It is an established fact that every person has a different composition of emotions and logical thinking in their personality.
Every human being has both the virtues present inside but it depends on our personal discretion that how well you use them.
Some people take pride in claiming that they think and work logically and emotions have no role to play in their decisions and life ! But emotions are stringently controlled by logic and vice versa.
The supremacy of the brain is so astonishing that  it doesn't let any process last for long. You may be deeply immersed in sorrows or happiness, the brain find its way out of it and drifts you away ,unknowingly into alien thoughts and territories,where you find solace for a few moments without realizing whether you were thinking logically or emotionally ( I call it a brain wave as it is equivalent to the sea waves which wash away all the footprints from the wet sand ) .Emergence from this state is called span of  attention and drowning in this brain wave can be called tranquility.
Logic in my opinion is the next step of emotions in the process of evolution of self. When we evolve, we don't "Delete" the earlier virtue and "Save" the next one because we are not machines which have limited       capacity /memory . Phylogenesis is a complex and prolonged procedure which nurtures both  factors and none of them can become extinct or be preferred upon the other. It basically depends upon how often we use them . In a way we train ourselves to use one part of the brain more than the other,which ultimately becomes a habit and a part of our evident personality.
A balanced person is one who doesn't shun emotions or logic but reaches a stage where they both compliment and suppliment each other . One virtue leading to another in behavioural perspective is an ideal situation. Make optimum use of both for real happiness.Ignoring emotions and anchoring onto logic is like
having bland food , as emotions bring spice to our precious and uncertain life.
God bless !!

Adolescence and Adjustment

“ Adolescence is like a bridge which emerges from childhood and merges into adulthood”. Life is all about adjustment to people, places, situations, events and environment. Although adjustment has to take place between the individual and the environment during all stages of development, but the most dynamic changes occur during adolescence. It is the time when rapid and revolutionary changes take place with regard to physical, mental, moral, psychological, spiritual, sexual and social outlook. Human personality expands in new horizons by learning new things and achieves new dimensions in life. Therefore, it’s a time period which is full of anxieties, worries, conflicts, unpredictability and complexity.    Biologically, adolescence is the stage when puberty dawns with a surge of chemicals. Upsurge of hormonal levels create havoc in the body, leading to unpredictable behavioural patterns and mood swings which take time to stabilize. Insecurities about one’s own ...

‘Bois Locker Room’ – A Sneak peak into Mindset of Present-day Youth - Part I

Bois Locker Room- A Sneak peak into Mindset of Present Day Youth Last week, the whole nation woke up to the horror stories emanating out of a leak from a private chat group #Boislockerroom. Participants were a group of teenage boys who used the group to objectify and degrade fellow classmates, and other girls whom they knew as friends.The conversation among them ranged from posting nudes to gang raping those girls in a very casual manner. It was horrifying to go through the conversations of the group, and equally overwhelming to go through varied reactions it received on various social media platforms. Reactions of the society oscillated from condemnation, justification, and support, to counter attack.    If we notice the flowchart of reactions of our society in steps, we see the first step after these reactions is to find reasons behind this incident, again, based on the biased reactions. Second step is, we make up a mental story of the whole event to satisfy our c...

Is this Kashmiriat?

                                                            Is this Kashmiriat? The recent controversy about banning the all girls music band has brought us into center of the another discussion about secularism and “Kashmiriat” once again. Kashmir has a unique and distinct cultural heritage which is multifaceted, multicolored and vibrant like its demography. For centuries Kashmir has had a history of invasions by outside forces to subjugate people by perpetual use of force and apart from persecution and plunder, the worst hit could have been the culture of this paradise on earth. But, the valley has embraced one and all with large heart and open arms ad o pting their art, customs an...
