The Motto of Optimism and Self Control!

Mid-sems over, still a truck-load of work in the form of two projects and a memo in the coming 10 days, the thought process never seems to stop, just that I got the time to blog it down tonight.

Optimist, as I claim to be, follow the simple golden moto in life - 'everything happens for a reason and notwithstanding the reason, ultimately happens for good'! It still makes meme how clueless we all are about any future developments and yet future/probable consequences is what consitute fear and concern and the basis of all our decisions. As I blogged about the obscurity of far-sight once, it again comes back to me. I can visualize all of us like dogs chasing cars - we chase cars just for the heck of chasing it, enjoy the chase, but do not know what to do once we get there. How far can we forsee and what validity such foresight has when we do not know what may happen the next moment.

Again reverting to the whole idea of theism, if we try thinking of how things are destined and how everything falls in place, the instant reactions i.e. the most human reactions may just depict the prima facie lack of prudence in us or rather the overriding effect of other 'human' factors over the prudence which gets spread over it like dust, restraining it from proper working. If we try and exercise sufficient self control over us and place ourselves outside any situation in which we are involved and then look at it from the neutral reference frame, we get to realize the actual state-of-affairs and the actual picture which we are blinded of when involved in the situation. Thus, regular reality checks though never realized to be important, should be done to stay 'on-track'.

Experiences indeed are the best teachers in life, but to experience the experiences, they should be analysed before experiencing in order to learn maximum out of them. Teachings of experiences provide us strength and energy to improve ourselves, confidence to face the usually unimagined 'future' and to move on. Logic and reason are, undoubtedly, the facets which should govern our actions, but a problem with people like me who can see future in litigation is that nothing exists which cannot be justified in logic and reason! It ultimately narrows down to our own choice of what we want and to be able to justify whatever we feel should be justified and to exercise enough self control to feel what should be felt according to logic and reason creates a circular logical loop - the loop of cycles of thoughts and conclusions of life!

So it follows by the above statements that for anyone who is too self controlled to make these circular logical loops of life futile, ends up being an optimist and leaves it to destiny. As an optimist, I do not find positives in things, but I just do not consider the negatives of anything, because there are enough positives in everything that you do not need to make an effort to find them, rather you just need to ignore any potential negatives of any situation. So it stays - 'everything that happens, happens for good'!
