The Logic of Life…
First things first, WE ALL FUCK UP! Irrespective of the golden yacht owner or the quintessential homeless guy. So it’s no big deal if you have fucked up. In fact, it is one of the best things that you could’ve done to yourself.
And why is that?
Well, to start with, there are certain things that are not in our control and there are a handful others that can be controlled. The remaining ones are inter-dependent on the cause-and-effect relationship with the other two scenarios.
The socio-economic conditions of your birth, your immediate family, the society wrapping you around, and the necessary relationships that you have to bear, are pre-written chapters. And so are the experiences that they’ll give you. You cannot change/modify/fully rectify/restructure them. You have to accept them as they are. Verbatim.
But, the way you’ll perceive them, the way you’ll react to them, the way you’ll let them control you or the other way round, can be written and re-written. So you can either accept that you are from a middle-class family, are surrounded by a society that wants to eat itself away, and have to bear certain acerbic relations or you can just ignore all of these and pretend to live in a dreamy perfect world where everything is just fine.
It’s not easy to accept everything so fast. Because we are not built to accept things at the first instance. We are built to ignore them, deny them, challenge them, fight them, get defeated, in a few cases fight them again, and then do something concrete, which in a way will superimpose the fact that we’ve accepted whatever we’re going to do is the only singular choice we have. And this entire process isn’t an easy one. It’s filled up with many paragraphs where you’ll fuck up, in some royally and in some just for a while. And that’s where it gets better. Because with each line that gets fucked up, you will have one more chance to make it a perfect story. With each misspelled word, you will have one more letter to make a new word. With each miscommunicated interpretation you will have one more chance to say what you really want.
But all this comes only when you decide to allow yourself one addiction: Applying rationale and accepting whatever comes.
We humans work on logic. We first do something and then let logic define it into right and wrong. Logic defines each of our actions. From deciding to donate our time to selfies to prioritising people, we follow our own logic in everything. So when we logically program our mind to accept something we tend to stick to it. From accepting to not giving up to finally moving forward knowing nothing can be changed we follow the logic of how much pain we can bear and act accordingly. Thus, it all depends on how easily we can logically frame our mind to accept something and move on. Well sure, we can always accept that we are destined to doom by logically masking our mind with some reasoning skewed or not. But in the end, we all follow a logic.
So if everything is governed by logic, why not make an algorithm where we logically structure our mind to accept things as they come, accept life as it unfurls, accept that there is always a silver lining, accept the power to follow that silver lining, and accept the struggle to achieve that much clarity of mind.
It’s not a fight if you can accept that it’s not a fight but a game where you have to adjust your moves to ultimately win.
