what is living?
In old days entertainment was a break from life. now life is a break from entertainment....
Watching TV and pausing it to get my food to eat in front of TV... break from entertainment for living.
This was a wrong thought to think just before sleeping,
I must have spent hours and hours, half asleep half awake, thinking which moment in that day counted as "life". rewind rewind rewind the whole day - so what is this life then? painting, yoga, gardening, cooking, eating,FB time, coursera, call home, furniture rearranging. thoroughly enjoyable self development learning etc but was it life or break from life?
What is living what moments of my life count as living?
When do we help people by telling them things and when are we being stupid by assuming other people dont know anything when they probably know more than us.
When I say stupid people follow tradition, give mandatory gift etc... I m probably doing the same? they probably know thiigs I dont, how to maintain relationships etc and I m being a fool?
(Things should change may be - but One way it is not gonna happen is by calling other people - bad names.)
This requires us to understand and be more tuned into people -better??
or better tuned to ourself? Am I giving gyan to help or to show that I know better? is it a ego deal or a genuine concern?
sometimes ego is hidden behind genuine concern?
Is this also Empathy? the other side?
Empathy is what causes irritation in us when we see someone wearing uncomfortable clothes or have piercings. Empthay makes us feel like we ourselves have that piercing and we feel that pain/discomfort.
embarrassment! especially we feel embarrassed for others
empathy BTW is our reaction to their situation, may not be in tune with what they are feeling in their situation?
