The fact that none of us can deny is that no matter what kind of person we are within, it doesn’t matter unless we bring it out.There will be a million times where we feel we’re much more than what we are.We feel we can do and be much better.We will be quite sure we are in fact a lot better in dealing with things.But in real,we’re not all that we think we are.Our actions don’t always represent our thoughts.What is the favour that we’re doing doing to ourselves?? It is what you are outside that matters the most.Infact that is what that matters.It doesn’t matter if you are a genius or a creative master mind unless you bring it out.
When we’re born, we’re an individual.Unique and like a blank sheet of paper., not sure what to expect from life.We learn to understand things from what is taught to us.From then on we learn things from different sources.Might be from the people we grow up with,family,friends,books,movies etc. Certain things are developed by instinct.But somewhere down the line the individuality in its true sense is lost.We get stuck in the group.There is pretty much no avoiding this because socializing is the Human necessity for survival.We all have to go to schools and colleges.What actually happens here is that the mind is programmed.What I mean by programmed is that we are influenced in our decision-making,choices,opportunities,interests etc.Then again, this need not always be bad.
Having provided with various things to choose from, life never tells us what to decide or what to choose.It is our inner self that somehow knows what is that we need. But because of all the programming done, we tend to choose the things that do not suit us and finally end up blaming.But the sad thing here is that what we are and what we become depend entirely on the choices we make in life.So the realization of listening to the inner person is very important.
Considering the little time we have here to live, it is not a great mistake to listen to the heart.To simply put it, when we hear people talking about things like listening to the heart, follow your heart, let instinct be your guide…. It simply means BE YOURSELF. That is what and who we really are. That is the little Us remaining after all the programming.Our heart,Our instinct,Our conscience everything refers to who we really are and the fact that following your heart will lead to a satisfying and liberating life is due to the simple reason that we live our life the way we are meant to live.So I feel that the only sensible way to live in this world is without rules.One has to start de-programming the mind.There’s no point in wasting the time we’ve got here.Ultimately it’s our life and no one can live it better than us and no one can really stop us from being Ourself.All the programming has hidden our true nature.So what I am asking here is to stop living someone elses life.Let the person within come out.Unleash the madness within.Because We are not what we think we are. WE are what we do!!!

Sound’s like a sociology post ! 🙂 To an extent programming does help us to learn how it live. Even animals do exercise this! That is a very natural instinct of every living being. Programming is an evil from an individualistic standpoint but its a necessary evil from a community standpoint of view. In fact it is inevitable. So the point I would like to make is to lay emphasis on rational understanding of the programmed world (which is of course a manifestation of same, but reasonably enough scope for rationality in it) to get a better understanding of this world in an optimistic way!
