GOOD MORNING MESSAGE #118

Reasoning is not everything.

From the first of June, 2018, I started writing Good Morning messages in the form of poems (Please read: ‘Good Morning Message #1‘).

The last such message was: Good Morning Message #117‘.

Good morning Friends,

Smart people go by logic and reasoning,
Smarter ones know there is life beyond these;
They think of these as just life’s seasoning,
Nothing whatsoever to cause any unease.

Proving a point is never important to them,
Nor do they try winning every possible argument;
Whilst they differ, they never seek to condemn,
The world, for them, is anything but turbulent.

Reasoning at all times can often be a disease,
It sometimes becomes an incurable obsession;
The one inflicted with it almost disagrees,
And often displays enormous aggression.

The only cure is to think of the limits of senses,
And make good use of the healing power of love;
It quickly penetrates the opponent’s defenses,
You can see the hawk transformed into a dove.

I am giving you something good to try today,
That I’ve myself tried with success many times;
Each one of us can great empathy display,
If we decide to go beyond reasoning sometimes.

Let me wish you today a memorable success,
In being able to put your own point across;
And having done that, to actually suppress,
The urge to be agitated, ill-tempered and cross.

Reasoning can often make you lose.

I have done a long stint in the Indian Navy that lasted for nearly thirty seven years; I rose as far as my somewhat rebellious and irreverent nature allowed me to. On retirement, in Feb 2010, the first thing that occurred to me, and those around me, was that I Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (you will find an article with this title in this blog) and hadn't lost all my noodles and hence thought of a blog titled 'This 'n That'. I later realised that every third blog is called 'This 'n That' and changed the name to 'Sunbyanyname'. I detest treading the beaten track. This blog offers me to air 'another way' of looking at things. The idea is not just to entertain but also to bring about a change. Should you feel differently, you are free to leave your comments. You can leave comments even when you agree and want to share your own experience about the topic of the blog post. Impudent or otherwise, I have never been insousciant and I am always concerned about the betterment of community, nation and the world. I hope the visitors of this blog would be able to discern it.
