Perceptions

When all you have is a hammer, every problem looks like a nail!

In this bizarre world, chaos rules the roost. We hardly, if ever see the whole picture. Every day we are bombarded with clichés and stereotypes and our mind is conditioned accordingly. Ever seen a villain without his personal brand of maniacal laughter? Or seen a bomb which was not stopped with only a second left till detonation??

Sometimes we try to fit the problem in our prejudiced views— like trying to drive a square peg in a circular hole. We see the carrot held up in front of our eyes, not the fact that this essentially implies we are the donkey.

Human beings, by nature, are inclined to trust the bad news rather than good news . For example if a person tells you that you have won a lottery of a petty sum- say Rs.100 you ask “what’s the catch?” or maybe “do you think I’m a fool?” But if the same person tells you that your house was on fire, you will probably go running there as though…well… your house was on fire!

But still, there is hope, hope for a better day; after all we do get up on Monday mornings, don’t we?

On an unrelated topic last time’s post was a bit... well... different. Maybe I should have just said ‘click on kill-the-author’ this would have helped save time all around. Anyways, last two posts were in the 3rd person and I would appreciate any comments regarding it (preferably praising it..... :D)
