Ignorance is bliss.. however, take some pain..?

Being a kid, we did not know many things. Nor cared about anything. Life was happening and we just took whatever it was.

With adulthood looming, we start to learn. A lot. Even worse is today's age where so much data is being dumped into our faces. Many of us are willing to go back to the phase where we didn't care about stuff. It seems peaceful and calming not to take care of things. True though; But...

It will not always work out.

Being ignorant may not always be helpful. Sometimes, we have to know about things. We have to understand them. Sit with the disturbance it may bring.

When starting learning something very deep, it may challenge our initial assumptions. We wonder what we knew till now is very different. This not at all feels good.

You love a person, and you understand that person is not reciprocating your feelings. Being aware of this fact makes you uneasy. Unbelievable. You wonder what's happening. But it's just that. The only way is to accept and move forward.

We are repeatedly messing up and there is a common factor that is causing you to fail. We should need to take that in. Only then we do improve.

The society is not a fair and equal place. Many types of inequalities are present, which are making basic amenities unreachable to many of us. This knowledge may give us PTSD, but it is worth remembering.

The pain helps stay grounded

Of course, we can't solve some problems just like that. They might be far out of our reach. The point is not to solve everything.

It is to know our limitations, be aware of situations. Ultimately, it's knowledge. We can always try using it for better...

25 and Disappointed: Can’t we choose simple life?

There’s something strange about the way we live now. It’s not enough to do your job. You have to grow. Climb. Upskill. Network. Earn more. Spend more. Repeat. People areound you - even the ones who seem tired - still say, “Keep pushing.” The ones ahead keep reaching higher. The ones behind are told to catch up. And if you stand still for even a moment, they say you’re wasting time. But no one explains why. Why is a peace a problem? Why is being satisfied with what you have seen as a failure? This idea of “simple life” - it used to be normal. Work. Come home. Cook. Be with the people you love. Rest. Now it’s rare. Or romanticized. Or quietly looked down on. We’re told that success means constant movement. That we need to hustle, or we’ll be left behind. But behind what, really? We’ve normalized the rat race, without asking who started it. And the truth is - only a few can actuallly win it. Most people burn out trying. Others fake their way through it, smiling through st...

Bye-bye strict timetables...! - The Bloggers League 2022

Author: Rama Subrahmanyam (ramasubrahmanyam.m@gmail.com) When we are planning for multi-tasking, we divide our time and allocate it for each task. That is a great thing, as it gives a chance for incremental growth, eventually getting compounded... Scheduling makes us punctual; sometimes forces us to be punctual if someone is counting on us, say an examination, office meeting, so on... Besides strict things, some activities should happen at planned times, like sports, gym, etc. But, we still have things, that can be done in our free time - say reading books, solving puzzles, or learning something of our passion. Should we also maintain the timetable in those cases...? Well, may not be that necessary... We get used to a task at the same time if we have a strict timetable; In a way, can also affect our peace... Suppose due to urgent work, we missed a task - We may develop a bad feeling, ...

my fav quotes from my teachers

On the occasion of Teacher's day, I wanted to remember my fav teachers in school/teacher and their quotes that stayed fresh in my mind after many years. NOTE: I may not remember the exact words. These are just from my memory. Anyway, who cares? From my social sir in school:- When does a revolt rise? When people lose their patience. From my Sanskrit sir in jr. college:- There is no edge for knowledge. From my chemistry sir in jr. college:- No one wants to return from the death. Maybe death is very beautiful. Also from the same sir:- When you comb your hair, your focus should be on completely on your hair and the comb. Also from the same sir:- In a forest, the tallest animal is Giraffe. The wisest animal is fox. The largest animal is Elephant. Lion is none of them. But still he is king of the jungle. From my maths sir in jr. college:- (he said in a form of poem which his teacher told) I am going through a forest, On the way there was beautiful trees, with bloomin...
