Trying To Think Simpler

From recent interactions on social media and in real life, I have concluded that relationships are being attributed to a goal rather than a process . I'm a believer of the fact that a relationship is just like how you drink water, there is really no end goal to it, you do it to sustain life. Whereas what I have been seeing are relationships being treated similar to achieving a goal in life, like you've unlocked a character in a video game. I believe what leads to this is having the social image you desire, where being seen with a particular person is dictated cool, but where does this toxic nature of being in a  relationship just for the sake of social image even if the relationship is toxic originate? I say it's our hyper sexualized environment. What I mean by the hyper sexualized environment is the constant objectification of the opposite gender, the ability to see beyond the opposite gender's sexual and physical characteristics seems to decline day by day. What make...

Being in 2021, an issue that a lot of us face is being judged or the fear of being judged. I firmly believe that this is a also a root cause of multiple other problems like having very low self-esteem. Throughout my life I've never understood why people belittled someone. Now that I've put some thought into this, I've understood that what fuels judgement is a feeling of happiness and accomplishment. You feel like you've done so much better than the person on the other side, you feel happy you are not them because you consider that person to be a failure on some level. Now, let me take you through an example to explain why I think all of this is bogus. Consider an exam, there are two students A and B, A finished the exam in 20 minutes while B took 2 hours. A used 7 pages while B used just 3, A had to write all his answers while B had to draw some. At the end of the day when the papers were graded, both A and B scored well, I believe life is very similar to this, like s...

Your Brain-The Magnet Manifestation is widely regarded as a pseudoscience yet many people who practice it have seen results, how? My best guess is that it's the subconscious mind. Your brain is divided into two portions, the conscious part which is under your control and the latter part which is not directly under your control. When your brain is periodically subjected to negativity, that will form the base of your subconscious, same case about positivity. The nature of the external environment does not really matter here, how you process it does. Exactly the reason why you shouldn't be demotivating yourself. This does not mean that you accept whatever is going on in life and try to not make a change but understand what is going on and work towards solving the problem. Your takeaway from this should be to control your negative thoughts and to positively reaffirm yourself and I guarantee in the long run you will see results, this is coming from someone who has been periodically ...

(The initial paragraph of this article is just an introduction to the philosophy that I wish to profess here and honestly it might seem genuinely boring so feel free to skip it if you do not wish to understand the crux of the matter) The future is definitely uncertain but does uncertain equate to negative? Possibly. The human mind is often pessimistic but what generally leads to negativity? Isn't it whatever that is inherently bad? Examples include corruption, poverty, bribery, dictatorship etc. If you try to think a little simpler here you'll understand who the common culprit is, a singular authority . Most problems that occur in society are because power resides in the hands of one person or one organization but what if that was changed, what if everyone had a say? No, it's not an utopian vision, this is already a reality in a particular sphere of life which is finance; crypto currency is what I'm talking about, crypto currency is not under the control of a single per...

What is more messed up than India’s politicians, probably its education system, don’t get me wrong, I believe education is mankind’s ticket to freedom , this is just about the Indian education system and possibly any other region following the same, by the time you’re done reading this article you’ll get an idea about what caused this catastrophe, what is currently going on and what could be the potential future of our country’s framework for building educated individuals. The origin From contributing to 23% of the world's economy in the 1700s to around 3% in the year 1950, it was the British that messed up this country. During the colonisation, the Brits never wanted any entrepreneurs or people who could think for themselves, what they wanted were people who could do menial jobs for them and in order for this to work, they brought in Thomas Macaulay, a famous scholar, He came in and ripped apart the Gurukula system that has been going on from 5000 BC and introduced the system that...

Extremely controversial yet something that has been in my head for as long as I can remember, being brought up, we are always told to respect our elders no matter what and it is a very obvious thing to do but does this magic formula of respect being directly proportional to age work in all situations? Before you go any further, in no way am I telling you to disrespect anybody of any age, these are just my thoughts on the subject and I believe everyone should be respected on the basis of how they interact with others. If you disagree with any of the points mentioned below, I’m completely open to a discussion. An important note is that there are tons of exceptions in every point, use your common sense to guide yourself through it. 1.Disagreement does not mean disrespect  Probably the biggest misconception, at least in the Indian society, the first thing our parents and teachers might tell us is not to disrespect when we are simply trying to explain ourselves, there is an obvious exce...
