"Our scientific power has outrun our spiritual power. We have guided missiles and misguided men" beautiful quote by Martin luther king jr.
Often i think about what goes in people's mind. Do we all think alike at some level? or are we all so unlike yet try to exist on this planet together. This thought plays with my mind and i wonder if some one else is also having the same question. We feel so important of being who we are without realising that there are 7 billion plus people who feel the same importance. We don't realise that we are just a speck of energy in this whole big universe. Our actions sure make a difference to the fate of this planet but our existence makes no difference to the universe.
Its a thought which keeps crossing my mind, what do i bring to this planet? I mean literally am i of some importance with my purpose or am i a burden which is being carried over. The "I" is of utmost importance here. As for myself and for my means to live "I" is very important in the scheme of my whole existence. Yet will my achievement be my own or will other people's joint efforts make it worthwhile? Now the "I" shifts to "We" or "Us". Still in the giant scheme of events "I" will always gain more points than collective "We".
Our mind control everything for us. Our logic way of thinking and our logical conclusions to everything we do is the boost our mind needs constantly. The masks are many and we know how to wear them at all occasions .
Its difficult to be a leader in todays world. How many people can one appease and how many different conclusions can one come up with. Somehow the end result is always the same. As many times we do the statistics we will come to the same conclusion, we cannot please everyone all the time. Some people will follow us, some will respect, some will listen to further their own growth opportunities but majority will always be dissatisfied. My problem is not with the dissatisfied people but the one's who follow or respect . The thin line which we create here is what at time scares me. These are the people with dreams and the day your vision does not fit with their dreams, thats when the problem arises.
Our mind allows us to be led by someone only when it solves our purpose, we are engineered in a way which makes us vulnerable to our weaknesses and allows others to guide us for sometime. Once we get clarity of mind, the control freak mind wants to move away from the discipline and forge its own path. Its our nature to always look for problems and when the mind wants to control thats when the thin line between satisfaction and dissatisfaction merges. Now what does this make us? The answer my friend is within you to understand this. We are like a wave which is looking for a purpose to hit the shore and then recede back in our shell to rise up again with the purpose . Does the wave ever finds its purpose? Its a controlled predictable pattern till the time a storm does not come for the wave to create havoc.
Now the question which arises is who creates the havoc? What is the catalyst which brings this change in the predictable pattern of the wave?
As i said earlier we are just a speck of energy which on its own can do nothing. But a collective energy can bring change to this world. We still will mean nothing to this universe. I have seen many companies ride this wave at a certain stage in there life. Its a pattern where the old and new thinking merges and many times old employees leave as the new vision does not give them the power which they are used to. In the end its all about control and power. The old game which our mind has always played with us. The same is with countries. Global peace is a far cry as not a single leader trusts the other to help in taking steps towards disarmaments and global warming.
We are slaves to our mind and love the games which exist as it gives us control and power. At times i feel we are all in a delusional prisoner's dilemma and maybe someday will wake up and laugh at ourselves for putting ourselves in this position.
As the saying goes , "Mind a beautiful servant, a dangerous master."
The choice is always with us.
