| The existence of "I" |
WE ALL ARE PROTAGONIST IN OUR OWN STORIES
We are all story tellers, and we are all the stories we tell. Our brain functions to generate an automatic narrative of stories related to a situation or sometimes create our own. We cannot see the future, but we imagine it. We imagine and create it through a narrative. We all justify our actions with the narrative of our thoughts and tell ourselves what we are and what we are not.
Narrative gives our actions a context so that nothing in my life is going out of context and directly or indirectly justifies our actions and thoughts. Even if something is going out of context or out of the thing we imagined, our brain somehow puts that narrative in it, even if it's not relevant. Sometimes we get stuck in negative narratives and we don't see any possibilities to get out. Being trapped in this negative loop we get tired mentally.
THE STORIES THAT WE TELL OURSELVES, ABOUT OURSELVES ARE NO LONGER CONVINCING
We don't have permanent memories, we have strategic memories. We choose memories and our past actions and incidents always influence our thoughts in the present, which is a case of concern because it spoils presents just because of something bad that has happened and gone.
PERCEPTIONS
We do see with our eyes, but our perception depends on our brain. "The Narrative Machine"— our actions speak our thoughts. Sometimes we try to relate to the stuff we like, even if it's not happening in our life. A good advertisement is not something that is very different but it is something that can make their reader relate.
Our thoughts play an extremely significant role in our lives. Our minds are constantly thinking. The majority of life is lived on the basis of thought. We judge and even get judged by our thoughts and keep pondering over the same issue again and again causing anxiety and emotional health problems. This represents about 90% of our lives. Thoughts are very powerful because they manipulate you easily just like visual techniques which bring images to your eyes and you are easily manipulated this is why they are considered so powerful. Sometimes it is hard to stay positive. We suffer a lot, we even suffer through thoughts. We even get judged by the perception in this world. We all relate to the stuff we like even if it's not in your life. Example- Listening to a sad song by our favourite artist makes us relate to the situation even when your life is going well. We seek a sense of self and subjective reality, which erects the geometry of "I". Being stuck in a situation we don't like makes us do the things that can get us rid of that feeling of loneliness that we get after being in an unlikely situation. The escape from the situation can be anything. It can be playing mobile games, putting on headphones, calling our friends or anything. It surely makes us feel like escaping but what after that escape fades away and we get back into reality?
The illusions we create are based on our own thoughts. The reality you create is entirely up to you. Not partially, but entirely. Everything you think, feel, and believe determines the outcome.
WE STORY OURSELVES AND OUR STORY TOO
The existence of "I", i.e. "मैं" comes into existence while being in some negative situation and with our own thoughts. Then aren't we all trapped in our private traps? or maybe our thoughts about ourselves decide our fate but it isn't reality and it's ok to be in thoughts too, with the sense of present.
