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 !!

Boys Locker Room - A Sneak peak into Mindset of Present - day Youth - Part 2

Adults - How to be better human beings? The psyche behind ‘boys Locker Room’ is not limited to social media or a specific age group. It is a deep-rooted systemic issue found pervasively in all strata of society. There are very few safe spaces where women are respected and treated fairly. Be it home or work space, they are constantly at risk of exploitation, abuse and victimization. Every incident puts more and more embargo on women while leaving the perpetrators to walk away freely. Parents do try to give the best of upbringing and values to their progeny. But, as mentioned earlier, kids learn from their surroundings, and pick up subtle behaviour from immediate family members. When ‘gender role consistent’ behaviours have been part of upbringing, the thought process and reactions are stereotypical, and breaking away from it is not easy. While talking about adults, we’ve to learn to mention every context in gender neutrality. Aim of this narrative is not to ridic...

Give me my 'Azadi'

Azadi  or freedom is everybody's birth right. Every human being is born free and wants the freedom of choosing his way of life. Basically there are four sources of rights and moral values which stem from : Our religion, our constitution/ laws, our society where we live and Our personal values, which we decide for ourselves. These moral values and rights define our freedom in real sense. The most important factor out of these four is our personal values and the rights which we want for ourselves. With the changing time, the sphere and interpretation of one's rights and duties also keeps changing. With the education, the right exposure and knowledge, progressive viewpoints automatically take over and redefine our freedom. Various discussions and article have put forth a wide spectrum of ideas and viewpoints about how much freedom should be allowed as per the religious and societal norms. But, the basic points remains that What is Azadi ? Slogan of “AZADI” has been...

‘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...
