The role of having a correct Belief.

            On this boring weekend, I was looking into some videos which was in my laptop and by chance, got to watch a 5 minute video on the topic ‘Belief’ by TT Rangarajan.

              In our lives, based on the belief we have, we would start to deal with any individual. Irrespective of any relationship or any bonding we have with them, the way we behave totally depends on the belief we have about that individual.

            I’d like to quote an example which was said in that video, "In the great epic Mahabharata, even though Duryodhana, who had immense trust over his friends and wife, was not at all respected as everyone had the belief that he belongs to the “bad side”.

            Whereas in the epic Ramayana, lord Ram, even though had asked queen Seetha to jump into the fire to prove her purity, is seen with immense devotion and respect as the belief towards lord Ram is so much positive.

The belief we have towards anyone makes us judge on the deeds done by that individual!

           I personally had a belief regarding one of my writer friend as a sharp critic,who would criticize without seeing much of the effects, this belief actually blurred my vision regarding her and made me think that everything she says is criticism, which actually were not.

            The bad deeds done by any individual whom we believe to be a good is generalized and slips away as something very bad, whereas good deeds done by any individual who we believe to be bad, would obviously go unnoticed!

           I remember an instance where in all had a notion that one of our classmates as a miser! There was a firm belief in our minds that he would not spend anything irrespective of him earning or having a good amount of money.

             So even when he literally spends money for some good cause of so, there would be a false notion in our minds that he does that in order to derive some future economic benefit and not without any good reasons.

             Ending this with a small quote, again from the video itself, “If the quality of our relationship with almost anything has to improve then the quality of belief in that relationship has to change”.

            We can never have a good relationship with any one when we have a negative belief about them. No matter what, our belief plays a role in dealing anything with an individual.

As soon as our belief towards anyone/anything changes, All other things would change by itself.

The effect of feeling good.

Everyone wants to feel good at almost all the time in their life.

           For all, the ‘feeling good’ plays a major role in most of the decisions they make. Their approach changes or way of talking changes and many times the way they respond significantly changes when they feel good. 

           Feeling good is much closely related to deriving that essence of happiness by doing something that makes us happy, or we can say it like doing things that relieves us from the sadness.

         The problem with ‘Feeling good’ is, it may only feel good and not be something literally good for us mentally, physically or emotionally.

         I would like to say about a close one of mine who had this thing of feeling good when she ate chocolates or something sweet.

       There would be an irresistible craving and mood swing if something sweet isn’t consumed! Of course after having the sugary content she may feel good, but is it literally good for her? 

         Similarly one may feel good by riding the 2 wheeler at a great speed, but a question surely arises in a sensible mind that, by the desire to feel good aren’t we just compromising our safety?

       We have become obsessed with the idea of feeling good that, for feeling good we are literally are spoiling ourselves in different ways.

       Few of us even get addicted to some of not so cool things, only to get the good feeling. 

      It’s a high time for us to start to analyze on the things that makes us feel good.

        Things that may seem good may actually be something very bad to you that may hinder you both physically as well as emotionally.

The good needn’t always be good, it can even be worse too!
