WildOne: With No Insight We Are Doomed !

Without Insight We Are Doomed !

I have chosen strong words for my heading ! I have to do this as this is one major or probably the biggest problem we humans are facing today towards peace, happiness and blissful living !

Insight is the key to unlocking the magic to good life ! Simple as that !

I am writing as simple as I can so that we all can sit and reflect what I want to express and why ?

Lets start with our behaviour with ourselves and to others . Let us explore how or what happens without insight and with insight .

Without insight , we keep behaving in the same way again and again ! We keep repeating the same patterns even if they are doing damage to us or to others ! We are like some mindless creature that is unable to see or understand what we are doing ! We get angry . We abuse , fight verbally or even physically and we are unable to see what we have done to our relationship ! All relationships are built on love and trust . Yet , look around and you will notice how stressed and miserable we are with our relationships ! We are tensed , bored and just out right upset and angry being in the relationship !

We quarrel or abuse each other daily and are always so miserable most of the time ! This resulting in unable to be productive to ourselves and to others . We walk about as though we cannot understand how or why we are like we are ! We appear confused and lost . This is a picture of having no insight whatsoever !

We are simply unable to ponder or reflect why or how we are constantly getting into the same situation again and again . We are just unable to see our thoughts and feelings running around within us ! We just cannot see that we are doing all this to ourselves ! We cannot understand that we can actually have quite alot of control on how we behave . We may not be able to control or change our outer world , but we can definitely have a big say to how we react ! In fact , this is the greatest and biggest control we can have towards a wonderful life !!

Call it attitude , insight , wisdom , knowledge or experience , it does not matter ! It matters that we become aware and understand how we can really improve our life and living . Just take the case of anger . We all can realise that nobody is happy when we are angry . Nobody benefits from anger . The one who is angry and uses it and the one who receives it , are both upset and miserable ! This is the worst kind of relationship. If we use the analogy of investment , both are loosing here . Soon , we can realise that it is doing so much of damage and practically destroying the relationship .

We can step back and wonder why are we going on doing this to ourselves . When we don't do it , it means , that we don't have insight !

Insight literally means that we are able to understand our behaviours and are able to work out some new format or way . Either we are able to adjust and change our behaviours or we can leave to some better or safer relationship . We stop abusing ourselves and others . That is how love is meant to work. If our love is not working for whatever reason , at least , we are able to step back and show some decency and respect to the one we love or loved .

Insight means we are able to look within at our own thoughts and feelings and are able to do something about them . If we are unable to do that , we are going to keep repeating the same behaviour pattern . That is crazy and hence we are doomed ! Doing the same thing and expecting different results is a sign of madness !

Insight is so essential that our very progress , growth and development is based on insight !

Everything in life is centred around insight !

If Buddha went in search of a better life , it is because he had insight to the life he was going to have !

Even , being a king or prince made him realise that all life is ever changing , temporary and will not last ! All the hallmarks of such thinking comes from insight !

People are going on doing severe damage to themselves by smoking , drinking alcohol , taking drugs

and much more because they are unable to see the abuse they do to themselves .

Have to write more on insight , especially , how do we really get insight ?!

Insight can only come if we are able to became quiet and sit still ! Only than we are able to sit and ponder or ponder what is happening to us ! Until than , we are just running around without becoming aware .
