Ideas, Events and People

The human mind is so quick in its thinking ability and can run into complex conclusions at lightning speed.  This ability of the human mind has an effect that depends upon the way we utilize its potential.  From the past the universal objects about which this mind thinks about can be grouped into three main classes, ideas, events and people.  Whatever the human mind thinks of will easily come into one among these three categories.  Surprisingly, the effect of the human mind on the psyche of a person depends upon whether it thinks about the ideas, events or people.  To understand this clearly, let me explain in simple terms and in the end you will be surprised to note that everyone of us have experienced such varying effects !!

Ideas are something that bring a change into this world.  Good ideas are often aimed at bringing comfort to lifestyle, to alleviate pain (both physical and mental) in short make our life simple.   When our mind discusses ideas the atmosphere within the mind is positive and aimed at ensuring something good is done to people.  This is a good sign and all the inventions in this world have been the result of such great ideas that originated from the minds of men of past. Inventions in every field like Physics, Chemistry, Medicine, Geography, Astronomy etc., have made our lives much simpler and only because of these novelties we are away from much of the ailments of nature.  It's always advisory to discuss ideas whenever we talk with friends, relatives and even in a public meeting.  By this way I don't mean that we need to be serious with friends, talking too serious equations, just we need to make sure that we always wish that each conversation spawns a little new idea.  Bottomline, the ideas must never be crooked !!

Events are the occurences of the past.  Events are the result of human actions and may have had a good or bad ending.  Events often teach us a lesson of how not to live or how best one can live.   It's always good to analyze the result of an event as it helps us to correct the mistakes one has done and in case of a good event, we can try to emulate.  Beneficial events of the past include, peace treaties, revolutions in the field of food and medicine, economic resucitation, renaissance of culture and lot more.  When one looks at the course of these events, he/she can realize how tough it is to bring a change into this world and what are the requisites to do so.  Ofcourse, history has got some painful events like war and homicides that ought to be forgotten.  Bad events shouldn't go unanalyzed because one cannot learn what lead to such a disaster!  It is always good to learn from the past as it's funnily said, "one must learn from other's mistakes as he cannot commit all of them to learn!".  So, when the human mind thinks of the events, there is a mixed impact of positive and negative thoughts.



The last class of objects of this Universe, according to our classification is the 'People'.  This World is nothing without people.  It's more interesting to analyze what people are made of. People are   not absolute beings and are greatly influenced by ideas and events !!  Sounds strange, isn't it?  People in the past might have been free beings and had their own way of life and did what they felt as the right thing to do.  The World today is not that similar to the World of the past.  The commitments and responsibilities of people have gone high.  The events in their lives have a greater impact on their actions.  So, no person can be quoted as absolute and no person can claim himself to be living according to his own principles.  But, the natural tendancy of human mind is to discuss loads about people !! We grumble a lot about people and their activities.  The result is that we lose our temper and perform poorly in our career.  Discussing about people is the worst form of human brain activity !  We discuss a lot when people go wrong and so little when someone does something great.  

The conclusion can be clearly drawn.  Discuss a lot of ideas, with your friends, parents and relatives.  Ideas build our lives.  You need not be a scientist to do this.  Ideas can be for your everyday living.  Don't discuss too much about events as there are events that might have made you feel lot lower in your life.  The case of the human mind is to think of negatives first and so the negative events might cause you set back !  Keep discussion of events to a minimum and use them only to learn a few lessons and of course events that made you achieve greater things can be used as performance motivators for the future.  Last in the list, 'People'.  Talk about a person only when you want to admire him/her and when you want to emulate the person's traits. Never think about why a person is so bad in his life which will definitely leave you in a sullen mood.  No person is absolute and events control them greatly.  When the ideas are great, the events are good and the impact on the people is awesome.  So, it's the ideas that are the source of good will and make your best attempt to generate good ideas.  Often there goes a saying, "Great minds discuss ideas, average minds discuss events and small minds discuss people", by Eleanor Roosevelt.
