Identity and obsession the twin evils
Yes
true but fundamentally and objectively if we look at it we can understand a
lot.
It
is not only about profession it is about every external identity.
For
that matter any external identity because it ends up occupying our time and
mind space so much that without realizing it such external identities become
our second nature and slowly like a parasite devours our original nature.
Then
we also succumb to such identities as it was us who chose, allowed and decided
to wallow in the supposed worthiness of all those identities starting from
religion, culture, language, thrust upon relationships and so on.
However,
can we avoid any such identity is a big puzzle?
Sometimes
it is out of our own jubilant choice and sometimes it gets tagged out of
necessity of circumstances.
We cannot avoid many identities. Should we deny or try
to drive away or try to compare or extrapolate with some ideology etc?
The
answer is a big ‘No’.
However,
we need not get addicted to any identity
and also we can tolerate other identities.
Only
such practical attitude can lead to some sane and peaceful social life.
“All
of us have our own inner fears, beliefs, opinions. These inner assumptions rule
and govern our lives. A suggestion has no power in and of itself. Its power
arises from the fact that you accept it mentally.”
― Joseph Murphy, The Power of Your Subconscious Mind
― Joseph Murphy, The Power of Your Subconscious Mind
We
must realize that the subconscious mind is the law of action and always
expresses what the conscious mind has impressed on it. What we regularly
entertain in our mind creates a conception of self. What we conceive ourselves
to be, we become.” Grace Speare.
Peace
and Harmony are defined indirectly by wanting too much
of same Identity in everyone and everywhere and want of Tolerance.
Most importantly we must
acquire the wisdom to make unbiased balanced views on everything concerned with
life so that we can try to grasp the meaning of life with all its harsh
realities and real hues and facets of variety that life is made of.
