Sometimes you start seeing something which u didnt see before,
Like for example that the really cute advertisement. Everyone is drooling about it and u can see clearly that they are trying to manipulate you.
That action movie that u used to like so much is just a formula...
That news.. is very selective
That parents are not perfect
You start getting uneasy, and irritated about this new knowledge.
Some of us start thinking - I was better off being ignorant atleast I was happy. (This attitude really irritates me :D ) U cant go back to not knowing! Its like taking the Red pill!!
Some of us start thinking, I m supposed to not get irritated with things, why Am I getting more grumpy? Am I progressing or Regressing. Am I getting (God! forbid) Cynical?
( Is it cynical BTW? It is cynical, if it is others and just smart, if it is me? :D :) )
Ok the point is not that.
We resist all change, so this change of perspective is really just a change and that is what makes us uncomfortable.
First step is to see it, that we judge and get irritated or resigned ( cynical :P) but that ok, because there is second step.
Second step is understanding, sooner or later we see more, we dont just see the symptom but we see the cause also. That is when we get not irritated .
Just suppressing the irritating feelings and covering it up with "I am not supposed to feel this way" is not the way to go. Its ok to be irritated about something u think is wrong.
At a later point of time either we will understand better or realise that we were wrong after all..
or may be we realise that it was just us, not accepting a change . ( Conductors wont have this problem, they accept only change :P but dont give back any :P)
Sometimes I feel Am I being stupid? because I feel alone, no one else seems to find anything wrong or see the problem. but many times it turns out - I was just ahead of times after all. :->
Self trust is important.
I told you so.. comes to mind :D but that too shall pass ;-)
[bragging aside, some things I see ahead of time which others dont seem to see, but I have to admit many many things which are so clear and in the face for others, I dont see at all....its a matter of perspective ]
