Do you think you were the same person just a minutes ago?
Yesterday, I was mundane in the evening after watching a
movie. Had no work to do, my brain had become trash cycling through all the
nuance things happened in the past, thinking if something happened in the past was
really the same as it was, or just my wrong perceptions. I started wondering
about few guys’ behavior change, who were close to me.
This is one from the list: This person (person_one) whom I
thought to be much disciplined for the past one year, started speaking to me in
an extra casual way and started forwarding messages like my college guys in the
past. I began interlinking few things then concluded that it’s all because of
this new person (person_two) who has entered into our group. Person_one found person_two somewhat interesting
and wanted to approach him/her through me. But the irony is, I figured out that
the second one is not very interested in this guy/girl (I came to know that
they had conversation before and second one was not very happy with it).
How could a person jump to a flipside character all of a
sudden (at-least from my perspective)? He/she was not the same person a year
ago. There can be many reasons for these kind of change which I really don’t
want to get into.
I had writer’s block, left the writing for the day to do
some of my chores.
Today, I was reading through some of my online newsletters.
In fact I was very peaceful like bhuddist. One of my family member ambushed
into my room and started lashing out at my neighbors from my room. I saw him
passing by my room window just a few minutes back casually. I wasn’t really interested in the provocation
of my neighbors that triggered my member. I tried to mellow my member down and sent him
back. All of this happened in a matter of 5 mins.
This struck my mind to continue my yesterday’s article. It
became too subtle for me to converge to a point from just the above two incidents.
I started surfing the internet with some of the key words of this post’s title.
I found this google book “Healing into possibility: The transformation lesson
of my stroke” by Alison Bonds Shapiro.
I started reading vaguely through some of the pages, didn’t
know from where to start. Or should I read in the whole book? Somehow I found a
good point to start that made sense to read through. I think the author was
trying to put things that he had gone through when got the stroke: He had a dream of becoming a
children’s book literature before stroke. Now he was seeing all of his dreams were
collapsing. In that emotional time to cope up he read this book “Making loss
Matter: Answer lies in not return, but transformation”. He starts to correlate
this ingredients of the books with his mentor of formative psychology “Stanley
Keleman”.
I was essencing that the author was trying to converge
saying: transformation is always there in every minutes of our life, but our
mind muddles saying - we are fixed, immutable and solid. If we learn to live
the changes we find in our life or learn to change, we will have peace and
harmony in the life.
It is very hard for me to conclude on this Abstract. Let’s
just take this article as a seed to your brain.
