Isolation-Falsely Implicated Phenomenon

Man is a social animal. This is the first sentence of every civics textbook & in all the grades. While socialising is a pivotal feature of human society, it is a fact which cannot be denied. Socialising, often booms out of the fear of isolation. There are very few people who are high on social quotient & have natural socialising tendencies. The vast majority of others develop this art as an instinctive reply to the fear of isolation. But the most important question out here is "WHY FEAR ISOLATION? "
Isolation has been conferred as something demonic in nature. Isolation, in my opinion helps you to discover the you in yourself. I think isolation is that state wherein, you have the freedom to pursue yourself endlessly. With no social compulsions, you touch the new pinnacles of your persona. I have realised & experienced the wonders of isolation. It develops within you that inner strength to face the world at large without buckling under social compulsions. It helps to develop that core ideology which can resist the winds of ideological brainwashing. You can defend your view points with that severity which your opposition can never think of.
But despite my bias towards isolation one cannot forget the natural instinct of being social. If you have infinite strength to grow in isolation then it can also make you surrender to the society. You can lose that inner strength if you aren't able to withstand social pressures. But to see isolation as a complete demonic manifestation will be an insult to few individuals like me who have experienced its benefits.
While acknowledging its pros & cons, it ultimately depends upon how one perceives the circumstances rather than the actual circumstances.

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.
