It's all in our mind

Ever been in such condition, when you think about something, and next instant you get the totally opposite feelings. Like something happens and you are happy, the next moment it proves to be the worse thing to happen to you. I guess we all have such moments. Why it happens? May be we assume things rather too quickly or, be happy or sad a bit too early.

In retrospect, this all sounds kind of assuming. Something happens and we mould it or assume it, according to our wish. It turns out to be something different, yet our human nature does not allow accepting it that easily. We try to do something, tweak something here and there, so that the outcome is what we want. Are we successful? No, but the whole affair becomes messy and things get more complex. I guess that’s the time to stop influencing things and let them take their own course. That’s the time to accept the power of destiny and let it rule.

According to me, the best way to keep away from such quagmires is to stop putting feelings. It’s all in our mind and our craving for things to happen in the way we want. Can we not stop doing it? Nothing new, Buddhism and others said it ages ago. The only risk involved is becoming cynic and mechanical in life. May be we should wait before being happy/sad about something or before assuming things are working/not working the way we want.

Sometimes it is also best to do nothing and allow things to take their own course. I guess, I am not making much sense, but it's my time to relax.
