Emofused
Comments (2)Emofused!!! don’t look it up in the dictionary, you wont find it. It’s not there at all. Emofused is derived out of 2 words – Eomtionally Confused.How can these two words go together?, you must be thinking.If you give a deep thought to this question,you yourself can come up to the answer.You will realize that both are very much a part of each other.Confusion is almost a definite result of emotion.
To explain this we will have to dissect these words.Emotion is:
·mo·tion 
[i-moh-shuhn] Pronunciation Key – Show IPA Pronunciation
–noun
| 1. | an affective state of consciousness in which joy, sorrow, fear, hate, or the like, is experienced, as distinguished from cognitive and volitional states of consciousness. |
| 2. | any of the feelings of joy, sorrow, fear, hate, love, etc. |
| 3. | any strong agitation of the feelings actuated by experiencing love, hate, fear, etc., and usually accompanied by certain physiological changes, as increased heartbeat or respiration, and often overt manifestation, as crying or shaking. |
| 4. | an instance of this. |
| 5. | something that causes such a reaction: the powerful emotion of a great symphony. |
[Origin: 1570–80; appar. < MF esmotion, derived on the model of movoir: motion, from esmovoir to set in motion, move the feelings < VL *exmovére, for L émovére; see e-, move, motion]
and confusion is :
con·fu·sion [kuhn-fyoo-zhuhn] Pronunciation Key – Show IPA Pronunciation
–noun
| 1. | the act of confusing. |
| 2. | the state of being confused. |
| 3. | disorder; upheaval; tumult; chaos: The army retreated in confusion. |
| 4. | lack of clearness or distinctness: a confusion in his mind between right and wrong. |
| 5. | perplexity; bewilderment: The more difficult questions left us in complete confusion. |
| 6. | embarrassment or abashment: He blushed in confusion. |
| 7. | Psychiatry. a disturbed mental state; disorientation. |
| 8. | Archaic. defeat, overthrow, or ruin. |
[Origin: 1300–50; ME (< AF) < L confūsiōn- (s. of confūsiō). See confuse, -ion]
—Related forms
con·fu·sion·al, adjective
—Synonyms 2. distraction. 3. turmoil, jumble, mess, disarray. 6. shame, mortification.
So we pick up 1 point from each of the explanations, point 1 in the definition of emotion says that in emotions is state which differentiates feeling from the state of consciousness.This means emotion directly or indirectly takes you into a state of disarray,chaos and you fail to differentiate things consciously.This prcisely means confusion.
This actually is not only what the dictionary says, practical situations also show the same thing.That is why the Army men and business men leave emotion behind in their dealings as a their job involves a scope of high octane emotion leading to a huge loss always.
Well, this dosent mean any of them is bad and always cause a damaging effect on the lives of people. Emotion is what leads people towards working for social causes and doing good work.
Getting back to emofusion, it is a universal phenomenon, I am also the same.As my previous posts about the 52 no bus and boy meets a girl, say a lot about my situation in those days, they precisely means that I was in a state of High emofusion in those days.I was confused what to do and where to go.I didnt know whether to wait for that girl or move on in life and forget her, and all this was driven solely by emotion.
So, tell me does the same phenomenon exist with u ??? It definitely does with everyone,its just that I have given a name to it. We always feel it but theres no clear distinction to it.No one, not even the philosophy czars have taken this toic distinctively as accordong to them also, confusion is also a part of emotion.
Whats about being average
Comments (2)Being average is a sin.it is a curse for most of the people.If you view it through the eyes of an optimist, you are better than the poor, but, if you see it as a pessimist, even the poor are better than you. This world is full of extremes and there is no place for mediocrity.Yet, 70 % of the people lie in this category, 25% lie in poor and reamining 5% of them are good and exhilering.
So, what is this phenomenon that 5% of the people in the world ruling the remaining 95% in this world??? This is human nature, this is what has been coming of the several ages.Have you ever heard of a kingdom where there are 100o kings and 500 subjects?,No thats because this world is built like that, this human mind works in the same way although the ages change.
Again we go back to the question in the previous paragraph.The answer according to my perspective here lies in the fact that 95% of the people in this world do not know the answer to some basic questions.The questions being, who they are ? what is their exstance meant for? why are they doing whatever they are doing? what is satisfaction for them? when do they feel they have got nirvana?…….These are a few, but there are several ones like this.You see most of the great people, they are very clear about the answer to these questions and their whole life goes off without even them asking these questions to themselves.Also, many a times it so happens that these questions are asked but the effect of these do not last long.
In India for example, a person wants to do business, but he is forced into job for several years because he has a family to support, or a person wants to become a singer but becomes an MBA selling shampoo instead of performing in a live concert because parents feel that singing is not a good profession, too unstable to make a career out of it.People who succumb to this become mediocre, people who say yeah lets do the thing which keeps everyone happy, and become an average person.
We can frame the same question in a different way, god makes everyone equal, in mind and body, then why are we average and dhirubhai ambani great? The answer is also same,but framed in a bit different way. We dont realize our real potential.We get carried away with situations, sorrows,happiness and worldly things like societal pressure.Only those who break this shell and come out of it, win, they are the ones who move from 95 % to 5% …they are the leaders.
However, as balance in nature is maintained, these people will always be less because king will always be one, rest all will be subjects, average people…
