Contradicting Ideas - Post One
I was thinking about the questions that remain! And for me, there are many such questions that remain(unanswered). The kind of questions I'm talking, is about two statements, both being correct or at least seeming to be and both contradicting each other. Which one of them is true, is the question. Now, let me tell you about the recent of the questions for which I tried to find an answer.
Like always, there are two schools of thought.
First School: Feedback is what rules the world.
One of my Professors, told in the class one day, that "Feedback is what rules the world". And like many people, I keep relating what I read or learn anywhere to things that happen. As the course went on, me and my friends started talking in the same language as the course and I somehow started accepting that, this statement in fact, is a fact. Whenever I do something that people notice, I do care about things like, what they think about what I did. May be a comment, some remark, even a retort, would make me feel happy and I would start justifying the comment, if I like it that is, or otherwise, giving reasons to myself why the comment is not right, if I don't like it. So, this statement, makes sense.
Second School: Don't be a football of others' opinion
Someone recently told me this. Now, thinking about this statement, yes, there are many things which I would want to do, but some times end up not actually doing them, thinking how others might feel about it. Starting a blog, for instance. I don't know why I wanted to blog in the first place, but, whenever I thought about something that felt like a good choice for the first-post, I would again think what if it is not. What if everybody thinks that it is the most waraashhtest post I could come up with. (And I somehow have this feeling even now :))
Now, the point is which school should I join? After thinking(?) for a while, I thought, why join any of them? Why not join a third school? And, I decided, the third is the best school to join. Whatever school that may be.
Third School: "Anything or everything happens for a reason. And every reason has a purpose"
And likewise, every school was found for a reason.
So, to summarize, I don't understand what I'm talking about, and I wonder whether joining any of these schools will be of any help. And so, the question remains!
Cheerio,
Ravi
