Human Logic

I realized that we are behave the way we are programmed. We are been trained and taught things in life right the day we were born. How to behave, eat, sleep, study etc. Our minds were programmed and we built in logic, have an emotional intelligence cause of which we got an ability to define things we come across in life. Then why do we get confused at times? Even though you know all the logic, you think illogically- what happens to the emotional intelligence sometimes? We adjust to things in life that we never liked but they have happened to us therefore we adjusted, thereafter adjustment became a habit as we are scared of what our family will think, friends will think, relatives will think, the world will think. Adjusting to a situation when you are helpless and can’t do anything once in a while is fine but don’t build that as a habit. I read somewhere- if you forgive once, it’s easier for others to hurt you. 

Since you have allowed others to do that to you, sometimes you don’t have answers to your questions which leads to you being a problem yourself to solution of your life problems- this is what I called being ‘confused’ and confusion leads to not knowing your own self, not realising what you want out of life- in our daily chaos it’s not in our priority list- we have so many things to look after EMI’s, work, family, socialising. And then suddenly we realise one day that our busy lives we have forgotten all about our own self- that’s when we seek ‘art of living’ classes, meditation etc to learn what we want out of our life.

So, the point is why do we need to wait for so long just to realise this fact? Why not try knowing yourself now? Loving yourself now? Don’t forget one logic- love yourself selflessly and not selfishly.

The belief that unhappiness is selfless and happiness is selfish is misguided. It's more selfless to act happy. It takes energy, generosity, and discipline to be unfailingly light-hearted, yet everyone takes the happy person for granted. No one is careful of his/her feelings or tries to keep his/her spirits high. One seems self-sufficient; becomes a cushion for others. And because happiness seems unforced, that person usually gets no credit.
