Debt free life
My itch to pen down my views cannot be arrested in spite of my heavy schedule…
When you put in some hard cash in savings account, you but naturally expect some amount of interest returns on it. At the other end, when you are granted a loan from a bank, they too expect some amount of interest on the principal amount. But, it’s a bitter truth that quantum of interest against loan is fairly more than that paid for a savings account for the same amount. This has been an implicit principle, tradition rather, for centuries together.
Metamorphic ally, when it comes to one’s ‘living’, the scenario is somewhat similar. Everything has some exceptions this has some too, let me come to them later. So, when one does something for someone, it is assumes or something like that, the thing/person will be returning back the doings with some interest in may be the same form or in different forms. From the perspective of the one for which the something has been done, he continuously lives in a sort of hysteresis that he ‘owes’ something to the one who has done something for him. He lives to pay off the debt which he is submerged in, may be virtually, and doesn’t exist for his Self. From the perspective of the one who has done something, he just lives to enjoy his share of interest.
A bit deeper, there are the ones who bargain over the interest they mean to pay as debt but when it comes to pay someone’s interest for their doings, they pay off what they think is appropriate.
My personal view is that, both the ends are stupid! Their lives are striated with the ‘want’ (Not need, it’s something which one deserves, want is something which one desires) for the interest for something they have done or the other end in the trauma of finding resources to pay off the debt.
This professionalism in banking is implicit, but I am worried that there isn’t any irony between this professionalism and socialism. How some traditions in profession can can become principles in one’s life. This is harmful for the existence of mankind (Man-KIND).
If I give try to give away a solution, I may find myself at the bullet point harming my very existence. The solution I will provided is fairly simple to say, but equally difficult to implement. Never Expect Anything, neither for your doings nor for other one’s…Live debt free & let live debt free..!
But, this is pretty difficult, with the present diplomatic junta, but is not impossible. If you start, the world will too. Someone has wisely said “The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore, all progress depends on the unreasonable man”

Too much, too less…

You have a task in hand and you’re getting along fine, maybe in an absent-minded kind of way, then something happens, you start thinking about what you’re doing and the whole operation goes to pieces. Our conscious mind has a weird way of messing up activities for no reason, when it comes to chose one of the many tasks to do. The only solution out of this is to give lesser options to our immature mind which will make it a bit easier for it to go with one specific task. May be it will prefer to go with 2-3 tasks, being in this 21st century, where multi-tasking is, a pretty popular asset for a one to possess.

There’s a critical threshold to everything. The quantum threshold varies from person to person and situation to situation. Nobody will dare to advocate Mark Twain’s quote ‘Too much of anything is bad’ when it comes to water, food, money, knowledge, love, kindness, joy, sex, etc. But, believe me or not, too much of any of these things is bad too. Take for instance water, food, etc excess of which may lead to death even. Excess of knowledge, love etc is surely a debatable issue. Knowledge surely is never in excess, unless one doesn’t use it at a proper place and at a proper time and it becomes a burden for him. Excess of love from parents may become a headache but when it comes to love from girlfriend, it’s a pretty good ‘asset’! Personal issue; Sorry to peep in..!

No doubt there are some abstract things; it’s my personal view, excess of which makes us proud .Take for instance, the willingness to help other. But, feeling proud or feeling ashamed, rather, loaded, with the excess of this specific thing depends on the charity of the mind of the person. So, it’s a personal issue again.

I am, unable to come to conclusion and I guess all are, whether excess of anything is bad or good. It may be said that, the quote by Mark Twain is true in general sense.

To me personally, excess of anything is bad. Too much thinking of anything is the worst thing, to you and also to the person whom you are thinking of. So, think too less. Willingness to help others is an exception to the quote.
