Abstract

am writing this post in a hurry because i don't have much time right now. but i really wanted to post this one today.

i am feeling completely confused. and not too happy. i like to keep things as uncomplicated as possible. but today some seemingly simple things managed to get terrifically complicated. and it does not please me.

also i like to keep some things unspoken. in the abstract. makes life a whole lot easier. but today a bunch of stuff was put on the table, stuff which i would have liked to not think about. or put into words.

and once things are said, they can't be unsaid again. they are out there. they can never be taken back and one can never pretend that they weren't said ever. once they have been brought into conscious thought, they can never be pushed back into the subconcious. and there are some things that i would have preferred to have left in the confines of my subconscious, at least for the time being. but i have been forced to prematurely recognise those things, and accept them as a part of my conscious, thinking mind.

now things have changed; maybe minutely, but the point is that they have. and i can never go back to being where i was before the whole thing happened. and that does not make me feel too good.

Well said things can be forgotten, and things can transcend to and forth from being in the conscious and subconscious. But I personally prefer to keep things active in my mind, even if it is something depressing I think if I get engrossed in it then I'll be able to peacefully live with it.

ummm... I wonder what exactly would make you feel that way? Well, such things obviously happen to all of us and one more thing, if you always wanted to be the way you were just before some(thing/thought) occured, you're definitely aiming for complete statis and as far as I know, there is no such thing while you're alive :) So I say just enjoy life!!!
PS- The reason for the cheerfulness of this post must be obvious, but thats what I'd have said even if my exams had just began!

It is a general human tendency to bring out things even if one does not want to, as somewhere in the subconscious state they want to share it with everyone but are unable to do so thinking of the consequence. One may try hard, but things generally come into light as it is not always possible to keep things in the dark. But once said it can not be taken back. So, the best thing is to discuss it and find a solution instead of leaving it in a absurdity. The best is to talk it out with close friends. This is what I feel.

So true, in deed.As it was wisely said, a spoken word is like an arrow.Once shot, it cannot be stopped from reaching its target.

But personally, I am of the opinion that bringing things out of the subconscious and into the conscious realm of our mind, is, though it sounds vapid, for our own betterment.Because even though it may have its effects, its better out there, because the effects it can have boiling about inside could be far worse (and far less noticeable, and hence all the more harmful).

Every subconscious thought's conversion into a conscious one leads to realization of something.In this case, it obviously made you realize something, a small product of which is also this article you have written.

And realizations are better than ignorances, the way I see it.

Nice Article!

Yeah, 25 does sound a bit too much.It did to me too.

But here is something nice to ponder- Come to think of it- Do we really lead such aimless, directionless, dreamless lives that there are not even 25 things we want to do in like half a dozen decades!!!????!!

Hehe...I always have to laugh when people put their email address in that fashion!
You know, if you do that for automated bots spying for direct email address, you should know that there are now bots around which can easily translate such email addresses! :-)
In fact I made a similar bot in my hols for fun...didn't actually let it loose though :-(

How do we know said...

Hows r u feeling now?

Unknown said...

well all of us go through some sort of tis feeling sometimes.. but then life is always about learning, improving, adapting and accepting that we can make mistakes that can have consequences of any magnitude... its good to wish, but sometimes its also good to differentiate between wish and regret..
