MUST LEARN

Can we learn, unlearn and relearn?  A few may respond positively.  But it’s too tough to do so.  Human brain has been evolving over millions of years.  We all learn and adapt to situations. Some learning’s are subjective in nature hence there are situations where we must unlearn the preconceived ones.  It provides a scope for relearning.  Our brain is not an artificial electronic data storage device wherein data can be stored, deleted and later recovered.  But we may find a few similarities, though, in remembering, forgetting and recollecting information.

We learn at all stages of life.  In many humans, learning of the childhood stays till death.  A strong reason being the inability to unlearn and relearn.  Thus making them stubborn upon their decisions over which they repent later.  There’s a question which may arise in this regard: Whether learning is to memory or to subconscious mind? If one had to be chosen, preferably it is the subconscious mind.  Because there are situations in life where we react before we think purely based upon past experiences.

Learning is an art.  Learn not to forget but give space for unlearning it. We may find people with memory but learning is not purely remembering things. Sometimes forgetting is a boon since it helps us to forgive others for their mistakes.  So here comes the second question; what is the difference between forgetting and unlearning?  Unlearning is to put out of mind or undo the effect of something.  But forgetting is the inability to remember or to treat with thoughtless inattention.  First one is intentional and the second being unintentional.  Life is quite smooth for those who can forget bad memories, unlearn the learnt and relearn the needful.

A failure always gives a new learning or proves any previous learning to be wrong.  So we must find failure, as a reason to celebrate rather than to weep upon.  It’s so because failure gives us a chance to learn, unlearn and relearn.  A true winner always searches for someone tougher to beat.  Otherwise the scope of learning diminishes.  The further the competition higher is the chance to learn, unlearn and relearn.

WHAT IS RIGHT?

This question strikes every time when I think, say or do something. In certain cases the thoughts, speech and action are not coordinated and thus are independent of each other.  Every bit of energy we spend over it may not be necessarily based upon any preconceived notion that we have.

Anything is right or wrong for anybody.  Neither all the things on earth are right for all or otherwise wrong for all.  The thought, speech or action which is right for an individual becomes wrong for another.  It is quite subjective to a cause, person or intension.

That’s why certain religious beliefs are right for the followers and at the same time wrong for people from other religions and for the atheist. This helps us to believe that nobody is right or wrong for themselves unless they are influenced by anything and that’s why people break rules.  But look at people who break rules and successfully justify it and be proved right.  For instance, killing a person is said to be wrong. Killing a person as a punishment given by the government is said to be right by the government. Again it is subjective in nature.  So is it that everything is right if justified properly? Don’t have an exact answer to say. Even terrorists have a strong reason for their act and are justified in their group. But the opposing parties state their activities to be wrong.

We can find one thing in common, i.e. majority decides what is right or wrong.  In a few cases, a minority which can influence a majority also can decide what is right or wrong for them.  Ethical code of conduct is followed by many Corporates.  It states the right or wrong code of conduct within their premises and never a standard rule being followed everywhere.

If anybody wants to be right always, learn from the chameleon which changes its colour according to the environment it steps on to.  Think on it.  Because for those who are always right are the persons who are tricky enough to change as per the environment who can justify themselves well or otherwise are able to influence and convince others.  They are right not because they do right things but everyone else believes their acts, intentions or speeches to be right. Or else they only do the things what the majority in their group does. Hence anyone can prove their part to be right if strategically thought upon their actions before they are done.
