Coping Up With Situations

Situations are the moulding forces of our lives. We live as per the situations; we grow with the situations. Sometimes, we change them, but mostly it is the time and situation that has the guts to change a person.

We all are submissive towards the situations and there is nothing to be ashamed of in bowing down before them or adjusting with them. It is totally natural.

Many times, we find people telling someone, "If I were you, then I would have..." kind of statements. These are nothing but complete lies. The truth is that if you were in someone else's shoes you would have done exactly the same as the other person had done. In that situation you would have not been yourself but that very person. You would be moulded by the situation and then made the same decisions as the other person.

Moving along with the situations and adjusting to the them quietly is not coward but a wise decision to make, if you cannot change them. Moreover, doing so is completely human.

    Very well mentioned,one should know how to adjust according to situation but before that he must try for what he want and in abrupt end he must cope with situation as he cannot spend his entire life in regret and gloom.

      It is not abouy regret or gloom. It is only about going with the flow when you cannot swim against it.

    I might not agree with this although it is an amazing observation. As a human being you are too big to bow down to situations and your reaction to them shows the quality of your character . No matter what the situation is , do what you really want to do because that is you , honestly expressing yourself and if that does not makes you human then you shouldn't even try to fit in because you are different.
    Being just human is a weakness , an excuse , we are much greater. Remember we are not just a drop in the ocean , we are the ocean .
    So keep trying , keep pushing , don't let situations get the better of you.

      What you say is true but that happens once in a million. It us a rarity that is no less than a miracle. A miracle which is then talked about for centuries. But, it does not happen every day...

      A miracle is sometimes very close to nothing, nothing at all .

Art, Artist, and Are They?

“The role of the artist is to ask questions, not answer them.” ―  Anton Pavlovich Chekhov The democratization of technology has made tools once exclusive to professionals now accessible to everyone. Anyone with a smartphone and an internet connection can become a photographer, a musician, a painter, an artist, an author, or a poet. The barriers to entry have been dismantled so thoroughly that the true essence of being an artist has been diluted to the point of absurdity. Gone are the days when art required peer review and validation by credible authorities. When people understood the concept of being rejected and accepted the idea of not being good enough. The self-serve platforms have effectively obliterated the need for hardened training to excel in any craft. Instead, we're drowning in a sea of self-proclaimed artists who possess the tools but lack the discipline and skill honed through years of dedication and critique. The result? An overwhelming flood of what can only be descr...

Welcome to the Machine

  “One day everything will be well, that is our hope. Everything's fine today, that is our illusion” ―  Voltaire Perhaps one of the most famous thought experiment ever devised is the trolley problem. It is said to be the classic representation of the clash between the two schools of thought in the western philosophy  - utilitarianism and deontology. The problem states that a trolley is running down a track and on the track there are five people tied up and unable to move. There is an alternative track on which a single person is tied up. You are standing at a lever that can change the direction of the trolley to the alternate track. Your choices are to either do nothing and let the trolley kill five people or to pull the lever and divert the trolley where it kills one person. The dilemma here is that which is the more ethical option? Upon facing the situation, I assume, many people would choose to pull the lever. I myself might end up doing the same. However, t here are m...

News - facts or story?

“The man who reads nothing at all is better educated than the man who reads nothing but newspapers.” ―  Thomas Jefferson In the times that we suppose are unprecedented, it is not the ubiquitously luring dangers of the pandemic that scare me the most but it is the news; something that we are more exposed to than the disease itself.  Open any news channel at any time (although maybe when they are actually reporting a piece of news and not discussing celebrity hairstyles or hooking up actresses with cricketers or reporting an Instagram video to be the best thing on the internet today) or read any column of any newspaper and you will find the tone of the report to resound that of someone telling their plight or sharing their joy or venting their anger or ranting their frustration. This may not seem a much of a problem as doing all that is the job of a reporter but it is a huge problem. And that is so because when a news report sounds like a story, it means that the reporter has...
