The Vicious Cycle of our thoughts
Posted February 24, 2011 by safwana in People, Mind, Spirit, Humor
This morning I woke up, really feeling refreshed and happy. Star gazing has been having a positive effect on my personality. My mind is opening up to new avenues, breaking free from constrictions and loosening up from inhibitions.

I have never felt this way, before! Its a positive feeling, not knowing how long it will last. But the bottom line is, it feels great to be alive and breathing.

So, here I am giving you a dose on grammar and how it defines us -something that crossed my mind this morning. This is not as crazy as it sounds. Really - trust me!

We are made of, nothing but words - a combination of antonyms and synonyms, nouns, adjectives, verbs. The most essential part of english language - grammar is so effective in defining our personality. Language is power.

The verbs - Action oriented

I am - I am not
I want - I do not want,
I have - I do not have,
I love - I hate

These describe our personality, likes and dislikes, things we do and things we don't do.


The nouns - who we are

Who are you?
a wanderer
an adventurer
an explorer
an inventor

Don't worry. These big words called nouns are not used any more. We are more familiar with nouns that are more commonly used - writer, reporter, scientist, consultant, lecturer, teacher, student

Then comes,

the Adjectives

Just to stroke that little ego of ours, we think we are smart, intelligent, beautiful, wonderful, handsome, sexy - that sums up the "adjectives" we use to describe ourselves.

And when our ego is hurt, we are thrown off-course, lose our way and try to get it back through other damaging actions.

Eureka - I found it.

I think this point comes in every person's life. Archimedes jumped out from his bath tub and ran out naked to the king's palace because he found what he was looking for - the theory of displacement.

So I am not sure which one is the greater truth.

A) Finding what I had once possessed

OR

B) I finally found what I was looking for.

Conclusion

People lose what they never cared for, then regret that they lost it and finally wished that they got it back. It is a vicious cycle.
