Diffi-cult is a cult


Difficult to remember, easier to forget
Difficult to concentrate, easier to wander
Difficult path to success, easier path to status quo
Difficult is to discover, easier is to cover
Difficult to stand and for truth, easier to lie and lie
Difficult to stand up for a cause, easier to “because”
Difficult to think institution, nation first but easier to think about self first
Difficult to tolerate, but easier to blame
Difficult to stand criticism, easier to criticise stand
Difficult to think…but easier to think it is difficult
Definition of Difficult is nothing but opposite of “cult”…diffi + cult.
Cult is culture…beliefs, thoughts, feelings, manifested in various “forms” of behaviour. Anything which is against the erstwhile or “used to” or “habituated” becomes against or new to the cult or culture. Hence to push oneself out of the cult is something that is difficult.

In ageless wisdom it’s called the “sanskara”  संस्कार  which gets programmed over many lives and more so in this life. Changing “sanskara” संस्कार  is DIFFICULT but whenever sanskaras were being formed or sanskaras became sanskaras, they were overwriting earlier imprints or earlier impressions anyways.

Appreciating the Flexibility and Elasticity of Sanskaras for Larger Good.

Dreading this flexibility and elasticity of Sanskaras for Opportunism or Self Good.

The William Forrester & Jamal Wallace in You

Image
A genius kid from low rung meets a prize winning recluse and both transform each other. Sixteen year old Jamal Wallace (Rob Brown) gets an opportunity in a prestigious private school. School's hope pinned high on his basketball ability and not so much in anything else, Jamal accidentally encounters William Forrester (Sean Connery).  Forrester's tragedies in life rips him away from his success (Pulitzer Prize).In course of tutelage to deserving Jamal, Forrester gradually and accidentally kindles his own life. Jamal's talent (for writing) shines and how !!! "Awareness" is the proverbial Jamal here in each of us. It is at the low rung of our priorities and importance. We believe that everything else that awareness is able to do for us, our thinking-feeling-saying-doing, is more worthy of cultivation.  Epiphanies and deep longings and timeless wisdom are the proverbial Forresters in us. Once or few times, having had the grand success of tasting dee...

you are being drafted into a war. you don't even know it .even leaders don't ....

Time and again, us humans have been at war. We certainly do not go to war because one or both or multiple sides feels over-arching abundance.  We go to war because of reasons deeply rooted in lack or scarcity or the anticipation of it . These "lack" or "scarcity" are deeply entrenched in individuals and or groups. This write-up sets out to answer the following questions: How was one drafted into wars in the past? What is the war now? How are you Asymptomatic Carriers of Warlords, thus drafted in the war  already? How can you fight it better or cut-down your participation? And these can enable you into "situational leadership" position if you chose to.  https://www.wearethemighty.com/articles/vietnam-draft-dodger   How was one drafted into wars in the past? What is drafting? When a community and or its organizing body or institution went for a war, there was either what is called voluntary participation for fight...

Encounter: Jingle-raaj and Jungle-raaj.

Encounter: Jingle-raaj and Jungle-raaj.  Summary: There is the Black Lives Matter Movement sparked by murder. There is close-home Gangster-Encounter. And in some sense, all of us are involved in daily murders or encounters. At individual level. At inter-personal level. At inter-group level. And that is getting played out in heinous ways sometimes and we feel shocked. Thats because of our own blindspots and our own treadmills. Time for Justice 2.0  Discretion and Weaponization  aren't strange bed-fellows. Some theorists in evolution, civilization, governance, organization structure and development and more would argue its need in society. And they would cite the inextricable need for going beyond process (the very "bureaucracy" that renders many a project ineffective or stalls innovation or "whatever it takes" scenarios). However, what one can surely argue is "is there an adaptive form of discretion and maladaptive forms of discretion?". How can one di...
