Self Identity, Inferiority Complex and “n pow”

Raashid Saiyed — Sat, 18 Sep 2010 07:24:32 +0000

The need for power over others perhaps arises out of fear of being dominated by “the other”. If an individual were to see himself and others as total and self empowered individual(s) he would develop a sense of personal adequacy and therefore would be less inclined to try and dominate fellow human beings and would focus his energies towards self actualization.
The need to dominate perhaps arises out of a sense of insecurity which in turn arises out of inferiority complex arising out of mistaken sense of self (not recognizing himself as total empowered individual). And perhaps creation of ‘the other” is a “cultural defense mechanism” of the inadequate selves to acquire “sanctioned power”.
Thus sensing and realizing a healthy self identity of being a total and self empowered individual seems to be the route to self actualization and human harmony.

Emotion causes and drives ambition, thinking actualizes it.

LIFE, LIBERTY & INDIVIDUAL EXPRESSION

Raashid Saiyed — Tue, 16 Mar 2010 05:43:07 +0000

Societies perhaps arise out of endeavour of creating meaning in/bringing about predictability wrt/ achieving a degree of control over life, requiring mass acceptance of some goals as more desirable than others and subordination of individual liberties towards achievement of those desirable goals, thus precipitating various pathologies (like the need to control the “other” individual arising out of frustrated “individual expression”.
Perhaps experimenting with individual liberty as be all and end all of life would create a healthier, happier and compassionate individual ( and hence the society) whose need for power would be satisfied through “complete individual expression”.

Life, Riches & TIME

Raashid Saiyed — Tue, 27 Oct 2009 07:22:43 +0000

The “really” rich person is the one having FREE TIME-time to do nothing. Perhaps the indicator variable of measuring richness should not be net worth (building which mostly requires lending personal free time to arbiters economic activities) but NET FREE TIME. Perhaps we could look for some “FREETIMEONAIRES”

If the bulk of activities of mankind is directed towards the end of survival and comfort, then how are we any different from animals and insects and what have we evolved to?

Life & Living

Raashid Saiyed — Sat, 03 Oct 2009 08:25:33 +0000

One’s Life is a function of a series of constructive/destructive interferences between one’s inner environment comprising of streams of thoughts and the external environment comprising of the streams of thoughts of he masses. Riding the crests and troughs then requires being conscious of these thoughts (and the causal feelings). Such consciousness is perhaps acquired and enhanced by forming a habit of “introspection” (for understanding the inner environment) and that of “reflection” over happenings (for understanding external environment).
