Indecisiveness-Plethora of Problems

Being in two minds is being mindless. As they say that its not about taking right decisions but about making them right. I always believe that not taking any decision is worst then taking a wrong one. It is always advisable to do something & be wrong rather than being wrong without doing anything. Indecisiveness stems out of fear of being wrong. Indecisiveness ultimately makes the person a victim of circumstances. By being indecisive we make ourselves vulnerable to people & circumstances around us. The root cause of any ills in a man & society is its vulnerability to external environment. By letting the circumstances prevail upon oneself we kill the innate decision taking capacity within us.
But being indecisive is a sort of natural tendency within us. We always want homeostasis without any internal adjustments. Indecisiveness strangulates the person within our body. As our former PM Narsimha Rao once famously said "Not taking a decision is itself a decision" shows how we submit ourselves to the circumstances. I always believe that our brain doesn't let us to settle down at any conclusion inspite of lacking options. With all the analysis that goes into taking of a decision ultimately our mind still haunts us with the fear of failure.
The main reason why UPA Government lost the mandate was due to its indecisiveness. With many pending projects & unclear policies, the government never cared to take a decision. In our life, we care about being right or wrong but we never care about being ourselves. The biggest cause of any misery is our surrendering to the circumstances. The greatest irony is to suffer from a problem inspite of knowing its cause & treatment. Indecisiveness is the biggest example of mental blockage within our mind.
While we all struggle from this problem but remember that it's only we who can deal with it.

ELECTIONS-FESTIVAL OF DEMOCRACY

The world just experienced the greatest electoral exercise in the history of mankind. Tomorrow we will come to know the results of this grand exercise. But the elections of 2014 have really galvanised the youth of India. They have made them reaffirm their faith in the bright future of India. In recent years,  elections in India have brought more pessimism than optimism. But the elections of 2014 have sparked that ray of hope in the minds of disgruntled indians. While how much of that hope culminates into reality is for the political class of India to answer but these elections have witnessed unprecedented electoral participation. With all the ills of the political class of India, survival of democracy is the proof of how strongly we believe in democracy. Post-Emergency election results were a tight slap on the face of those people undermining Indian Democracy & Indian population.
Whatever the results may be but the underlying outcome of the elections is the victory of the indian electorate. The enthusiasm amongst the 1st time voters & optimism amongst the senior citizens is the ultimate proof of our bright future. Elections are more about participation & less about pessimism. The resounding debates about national issues during elections, the views & counter-views, the sense of being Indian are all the positive takes of a typical indian election. Elections are those events where our "INDIANESS" manifests itself. Young indians participating in large numbers is a sign of healthy & vibrant democracy. While tomorrow we will know whether Mr. Modi has been successful in convincing Indian voters BUT certainly I can say that INDIA has won. YOU HAVE WON.
More do I discuss & debate national issues more does my indianess manifests. I hope you all also experience the same. I have made up my mind to be more vibrant & well-informed about the national issues. I hope you all have also made up your minds for the same.
I can assert with certainty that Lok Sabha Elections are as good a festival as a HOLI OR DIWALI is.
INDIA HAS WON. YOU HAVE WON.

A THOUGHT ON OUR THINKING

Birds flying in the sky & thoughts flowing in the brain are often directionless. While travelling through the mystic land of thoughts, I have realised that ultimately our mind rules us. I believe that thinking is manifestation of the subtle inputs which our subconscious mind receives. We never create a thought but we generate it. The effects of any event can be gradual or spontaneous. Thoughts of unknown origin are nothing but the gradual effect of any event which our mind has witnessed. Subconsciously our brain witnesses many events which our conscious brain refuses to acknowledge.
Subconscious exposure to any evil event is the input for an evil thought. As Swami Vivekananda puts it "Be careful about what you think because your thoughts become your action". The greatest test of mental strength is the resistance which our brain can apply to such an evil exposure. While exposure to any event may not be in voluntary control but the thought generation thereafter is definitely the indicator of our mental strength. The development of any ideology is nothing but consolidation of particular set of thoughts in our mind. When the ideology is consolidated beyond a point, the rational approach to any thought takes a backseat. Thinking is a two sided sword. While thinking with open mind can act as auto-correction mechanism, similarly, vice versa can create an havoc. Closed minded ideologies have often created bloodsheds & pogroms.
To consolidate any set of thoughts without questioning its bonafides can often create irrational events. At the same time, being swayed away by any thought can make one indecisive & incompetent. The main thing is to strike a balance between both & ultimately act in accordance with the society. The ultimate goal of human race is to be HUMANS 1st.
I rest my opinion for people to decide their thoughts & act accordingly.
