Hi,
The morning papers took out a news item on what it meant when Mamata Banerjee in the middle of the Singur crisis decided to paint and weild a brush . The newspaper carried out interpretations by Psychaitrists and Psycologists who said that this kind of an impulse suggested an immaturity of sorts , a childlike urge to shout and throw a tantrum when in dire straits is basically a deficit of adult emotions , it stated . I would have thought that she is resorting to a leisurely exercise thereby benefitting from the same , getting energised , destressed and rejuvenated . The experts shattered this feel -good interpretation and attributed it to her being dim witted as in an overgrown child.
It set me thinking and I realised that would it really matter if we cocretised and technicalised our very fine, abstract and beautiful emotions . If we start this process of psycoanalysing and then verbalising these beautiful ,non-lingual acts of leisure and passion ,then we lay ourselves bare and naked ;for so much of what we do will be a tell tale of our psyche, our inner world which we guard so fiercely and to top it all it may not be a correct analysis.
Human mind and its entire thought process is so complicated and dynamic that it cannot limit itself to any one psycoanalytic interpretation. I am not trying to speak on behalf of Mamata Banerjee for i truly dont understand her stance and am adverse to any kind of political leanings. It just set me thinking that it may also be true.
Did you ever think on these lines ?
Blog or blurb, talk or shout, whisper or murmur, look or glance, hold hands or mere touch , these are all means to communicate and to pass on some of your apprehensions ,fears anxieties and also insecurities just to make one feel better . These are important tools for survival, but reek of a selfish streak! Isnt it so?
Havent you felt revolted to advice , tips and those unwanted unsolicited manuals on how to do things , like beat stress, manage time , love better, earn friends and make money .How can people know more than you? After all you are the best one to know your affairs and it is not true that what holds good for one will be equally right for the other person .This is an invisible imposter in our lives who through the medium of print controls us . A dictatorial and authoritarian force that enable one to rule and dominate !
cheers ! Much more to learn !
