Life as a teacher

Everyday we realise certain things as life is a persistent and continuous teacher....The classes of life are more ruthless than any dean or academic administration of a institution because there are no holidays for lessons of life....This blog is just like writing notes for todays lesson.....

Human psychology has emerged now as a stream of study for people dreaming of becomming " doctors "....both in the real sense of medical doctors and also pseudo doctors who earn a phD....But I guess psychology is not something that is taught only in educational institutions....we dont get exposed to psychology for the first time in the class room like we do probably to Newtons laws....It is something that is communicated without a medium....u grow up with parents and siblings and without verbal exchange u can easily make out what is running in their mind.....No one teaches us how to do that....It is just like how babies know to drink mother's milk without any training.....

Sometimes some people are very sensitive and sharp for whom the others' thought process seems pretty transparent....This may make them good psychologists...but if thats not their proffesion, it is a bane in disguise of virtue....Thats because there is lot of hypocrisy in this worls......countless number of liars and pretenders....If u r a dumb believer of what people have to tell u....there is no disturbance...because what people usually tell u is more likely to be sweet, polite and atleast sounds favourable....But if there was some x ray machine that could decode the thoughts in their mind all that is said above may be disproved....So if u have the ability to somehow feel what the person is thinking or what his intentions are instead of what ur ears r hearing...U will face a lot of disappointment.....

For example lets take a hypothetical situation where u r in some serious crisis and in need of some money...U approach the person whom u consider to be ur very close friend and ask for help....If u r insensitive to invisible thought waves u will probably believe the reason that ur friend politely gives...and the disappointment of not getting the money will be covered up by the care that ur friend shows using wonderful words ....But if u r sharp to know what is going on in ur friends mind while he is saying those things....U r doomed to double disappointment....

So it is better to move on with life without thinking about the mental chaos of other people.....and better be happy with the flowery descriptions that cover up thorny intentions....In both cases ur practical situation will be same but mentally u will be obviating some extra disturbances....

To be happy one needs to learn to let go of many things....Nobody likes to be answerable to someone...and no one is answerable to u....no matter whether u think they r or not....so unless u let go of it....it will linger on only in ur mind and affect u.....Dont remember the bad things that others have done to u....because U cant reverse it and after all u did not do it....and also dont remember the good that u have done to others...because it is already done...moreover it will only make u expect returns in vain and regret the good things which will only devalue the highness of it.......

in the name of psychology u seem to have summarised most of what u think abt ppl
It was precise but more like a lecture in terms of giving examples and stuff

But i endorse ur idea that the lesser u think the lesser u ll have to think
