A man once said “someone who loves you unconditionally can hate you unbelievably”. This statement is very true but can I put it this way “someone who loves you unconditionally can hate you uncontrollably”. Life is a very dicey place. Everyday we walk on broken glasses without even knowing we are. Depending on who you are and why you are on the earth, life is either of two things, its either a journey or a destination, either way life remains a place.
To the optimist life is always a destination but to the pessimist life is a journey, constantly changing her course depending on the believe system of a man. Life has no place for the realist because life is no reality, life is a ring of interconnected dreams constantly changing every second with every decision we take, and whenever we don’t make a decision, life automatically chooses for us.
We are 100% what we think of. We often say “a man is defined by his actions” but this is not totally true. A man is actually defined by his thoughts not his actions. Consider this scenario: a young student is listening to a physics dictation from a lecturer in class but thinking of a song he listened to earlier that day, there is a 99% chance that the student would write down what he is thinking of rather that the dictation of the physics lecturer. This sounds familiar to us right? This is because we are all 100% a product of what we think of. The abusive statement “why do you like acting without thinking” is then totally wrong because a man can never act without thinking, actions are products of thoughts.
Some say we are products of what we believe in, but you would agree with me that a man can believe in something but not necessarily act on it but if a man thinks about something, there is a 99% chance he would act on it, either consciously or subconsciously. Ultimately our thoughts control us everyday without us knowing it. Thoughts are very powerful; they are like video games playing on our minds waiting for us to act on it. If a man can’t control his thoughts, he can never control life and if you can control a man’s thoughts, you are right behind the steering wheel of life.
All the crisis we undergo on the earth starting from simple addictions like masturbation, drugs to rape, murder , terrorism and so on started from very tiny harmless thoughts which kept on growing till our bodies couldn't contain them anymore and so they burst out into our dreams. Just like diseases, thoughts are easier to control when they are still in their very inception, but once they step out of our minds and into our dreams, we have what I call an “outbreak”.
It is of my own reasoning that no man is born bad or good or evil, all men are born with just thoughts which are encapsulated in the mind. As life goes on, Situations and challenges shapens a man and his thoughts until he is left with the decisions of good, bad or evil. Like I said earlier, if a man doesn’t make a decision, life would make it for him, that is, if you don’t choose either of the three when they are presented to you, life would pick for you. For example after undergoing series of betrayals from a partner you love unconditionally, with time, hatred might step in subconsciously. If you don’t choose fast to overcome the betrayals and lies, life would automatically put in an uncontrollable hatred in your thoughts.
