We create events over which we have no control

Foundational part of our being has predisposed us to distrust others because we are possessed by unconscious, restless force which sustains us for the continuation of life and existence. We always carry a very strong impulse toward something that promises a satisfaction in its attainment. We don’t ponder over or perhaps we don’t want to observe the newer evaluation to fit into a more realistic and positive perspective.

We have several unconnected links distinguishable to mind but get confused with a distinct unit. We manifest unrest of mind through improbable mental images in response to psychological needs. Mind, unable to sustain the weight of all desires, sometimes collapses.

We, human beings, create events over which we have no control because we are born with culturally induced ignorance which fragments us too easily by the unchecked emotional euphoria. We are possessed by some innate irrational tendencies that alter our moods and create emotional difficulties. These irrational tendencies have created in us fixed concepts and we are unable to control ourselves. We, sometimes, do something spontaneously which emphasizes how unrealistically we are living.

Unrealistic expectations which make us liable to fragmentation are the pathological cause of neurosis. From an early age, we create certain patterns about life and get swayed away in unfathomable fantasies. We, sometimes, try to reevaluate our identities but we are unable to control ourselves. Most of the times, our unconscious mind manifests itself through our actions. We don’t question our unconscious mind and live with unexpressed expectations. We fall a prey to the actions of our unconscious mind.

We are lethargic and don’t want to identify the illogical thinking. We are trapped in our emotional and behavioral problems because we want our blind unconscious striving with no meaning keep going.

We don’t encourage ourselves to question the consuming, striving, and violently troublesome beliefs that emerge from the material world and upset us. We only tend to think about our feelings in terms of polarities because we are the victims of the process of continuation. The irony is that we are deceived by our own mind and body and go against our own fundamental interests and endeavors. We expect happiness but we get misery. In the void of meaning, we attain the opposite. We are miserable because we expect and desire to be happy.

We do not know we lay enclosed in the chamber of attachments, miseries, and angst. We are not keen to open the many new possibilities, many levels of feelings of life, and expanding our horizons. We have to find the new level of understanding and possibilities from within. Only then, we’ll be holistic and create events over which we’ll have full control without controlling them.
