The equation of life


Great thanks to my Diplani for inspiring me to have the following thoughts after our chat:

Wherever we are and whatever situation we are experiencing,
not all the variables in the equation of life will be the same
* some might be positive
* some might be neutral
* some others might be negative

nor those variables will have the same weight
* some might be more important
* and some others will be less important

The variables could be there but their interpretation and how those affect our lives is only up to us. It's up to us to give them a meaning and measure their importance and hence their impact in our lives.

Meaning can be whether the variable is positive whereas measurement can be how positive is that variable is.

The variable is a fact but its definition is an interpretation and that depends on the person, his or her experiences in life, perceptions and current situation. It also depends how one wants to interpret it, how one wants to experience it and how one wants that to affect his/her life or those around him/hers.

Variables can be facts but we will give them their importance in our lives.

Hence, whatever the variables are, the result of the equation is made up by us. If we are experiencing a very sad situation we have the ability to find and interpret other variables as positive... Therefore, the equation of life will not deteriorate further but can move towards more neutral conditions.

Positiveness and negativeness are the two extremes. Human behaviour is also extreme in both environments... Too much positiveness may generate creation, passion or whereas too much negativeness can produce pain, sorrow, distraction or loneliness.

Behaviour, feelings and thoughts perform better in neutral situations where:

* Passion is a positive affinity of love and not a source of lust or vanity
* Freedom is a way individuals control their own actions and not a source of uncontrolled anarchy or imprisonment
* Trust is a source of confidence and protection and not a vehicle of lie coverage to flaw honesty or suspicion
* Dignity is self respect and respect of others and is not transformed to vanity or worthlessness or racism

Positiveness and negativeness will always exist in our own lives and the lives of others. There will always be problems around us as there will always be joy. Whatever the situation is, our core values are only visible and true in neutral situations. Our truthful values or beliefs can only exist in situations of balance. And it is only up to us how to adjust those variables and maintain our true honest self even when some extreme circumstances are found in our path of our life...making the equation of life to be balanced... neutral...harmonic...

I must admit that at the time i wasnt able to accept the negativity variable in my life. By now though i have understood that the element of negativity is needed to be able to understand positivity and maybe it also what makes us human!

It is quite profound how you distinctively spot that it is our interpretation of a situation that transforms it into our reality and that our reality is a completely subjective experience.

Thank you for the post!! 

Missed you:)
