Cardinal truths continued
- If we don’t mind our business, others will mind our business
- We voluntarily become slaves to some people
- Counting blessings is tough for humans…it’s the reason we are always unhappy
- We are a lot more violent mentally, than we realize
- We think hard only in serious crises…otherwise we skim through life without a thought
- We rarely attribute an adverse event to chance…we always try to find a scapegoat
- Am I easy to live with? … is a question nobody asks themselves
- We humans look more often for unhappiness rather than for happiness
- If we are happy for someone else, the feeling is actually greater than being happy for oneself
- As much as we are urged to be prepared to die…we must be prepared to live long years too…
- Most frustrating thing…people don’t read… and don’t listen to those who read
- In life…we never have uninterrupted time…cannot finish having coffee, listening to a song on radio completely or reading a paragraph in the newspaper undisturbed!
- For most women of the world living it out on a daily basis itself is the biggest challenge
- Others will never ask you to stop doing things for them as long as you are able to do them well… you must decide when it is enough
- We all think we have done a lot for others…but they must think so too
- Bad moods are necessary in our lives… they propel us to do some fantastic work
- Happy moods are dangerous too…they let us drop our guard and we make mistakes that are hard to rectify
- In real life it is hard for people to admit mistakes and correct them
- Simple behavioural changes are the most difficult to achieve
- Our audience are always elsewhere…never here
- …and then there are people who respond to every question with another question rather than an answer!
- Unfortunately, ego comes in the way of taking well meant advice most often
- There are those who are free with negative criticism…but will never take it…only give it!
- The comfort in praising someone who is no more is very great…can’t say the same about distributing praise to living beings!
- We hum a song much better than we sing it
- Our need for a person is greater than our love for that person
- Not being spoken to and not speaking to some people is the most comfortable state
- As much as earning trust is important so is giving trust, on which most of us fail
- The toughest thing is to love without conditions
- Did anything ever get done by being nice?
- Why do we take all the responsibility? To boost our self esteem, not to help others
- We are lucky for some people…who fail to recognize that
- We think the other is somehow responsible for everything that goes wrong
- If nobody else does, the self creates anxiety for itself
- Unhappiness and pessimism go hand in hand
- Everybody wants freedom…not realizing true freedom can be very scary
- The talkers will never know what they missed listening to
- We know we must crave good news, but why are we so enamoured of bad news?
- Has anyone ever felt peaceful, contented and happy after winning an argument?
- The saddest thing is to be financially dependent on others
- Daughters can’t help even if they want to…sons don’t help even if they can! Net result?
- You must be needed…only then you will get attention
- If only people are allowed to complete their sentences, many conflicts can be avoided
- Some sacrifices go completely unrecognized in family life
- It appears like men were brought into this world to create conflicts and women to bear the brunt of these conflicts…at least history points that way
- If all questions were answered truthfully, there would be chaos in the world
- Being nasty comes easily; being nice needs learning and practice
- You will stop being important to others as you get older; they will stop offering explanations to you
- It is more important to anticipate others’ stupid actions rather than their intelligent ones
- Do we ever think life is fine?
- The quiet happy times are the least recognized times of our lives
- We never see the real thing; we see what we perceive to be the real thing
- Women life their formative years in parents home learning one way of living and being…then move to another house and are required to change overnight!
- Living a life unremarkable is also a blessing
More to come… I don’t yet know. But highly possible, as long as I keep observing people and their behaviours!
Nice……..
Great list Mayuri! Some of these could be topics for mini TED talks… so much to say about them! Keep observing people and human behaviors… you’ll never run out of raw material👍
Nice ‘continuation’! If possible, start numbering.
3,4,6,9,18,22,30,34,39,42,43- very true
8-‘fall’ instead of ‘look’ is a better word! 😊
10-You are right. You must constantly think of death in order to live n enjoy life fully!
11- ‘Ego’ dominates ‘ignorance’
15- Not necessary. To have ‘do good n forget’ mentality
17-Disagree slightly
19- You are right. Habit change is most difficult whether it is good habit or a bad habit.
47 – Disagree slightly
Overall 👍👍
What a remarkable observation of life Mayuri!!
Agree about numbering them. Very nice compilation MayurAtta.
Nice Atta. Yes , please number the lists
In future.
each line carries a meaningful idea to follow…however some are followed by many of us…
Life becomes beautiful and full when we start accepting the imperfections, incompleteness and impermanence of the things and people surrounding us. This is a wabi- sabi philosophy of Japanese. How true it is .
All the statements you have listed madam sync with the above philosophy.
Wonderful mam. I would like to add one more mam,
We tend to expect more than accepting the person and situations which makes life more complicated and takes away the joy of life.
Hard truths of life. Well said Ma’am. Waiting for the new list.
This is an excellent list of keen observations – cardinal truths several of which qualify as cardinal sins. Some may question the assertion of some of these as truths based on their own unique life experiences. I like the fact that several of them provoke, make me think or feel uncomfortable. For a writer, evoking such a varied response alone would be a gratifying reward.
Here’s wishing you continue to distill astute observations of the world into more truths!
Wow mam, wonderful observations of people’s behaviours and thought representations,bad moods to the better ‘u’ and happy moods to the guard distractor is the takeaway for me and the simple behaviours are hard to achieve is the stage I’m In ryt now, and as mentioned in the comments each observation can be a mini Ted talk topics!!
Cherished reading every line of this article. Thanks for these wonderful lines.
Some truths sprang in my presence and observing my life too!! I’m glad to be part of your cardinal truths blog. Unknowingly, I’m also a contributor to these wonderful truths brought to light by you.
The way women deal with their day to day life itself requires lot of grit, determination, restraint, and patience. It is not easy to lead a hopeless, thankless and more importantly a long life with toxicity and ungrateful people around. So, to lead a life without merit or recognition is nothing a woman doesn’t know. She’s probably born to take everything in her strode because each one has more than enough to handle for a lifetime. The world is not going to change so we simply need to sharpen our skill set to keep doing what we ought to excellently.
