The Life OF Opposites


Is there a single structure for the expression? Or, We are more familiar with the single framework of expression. Any act of expression, in any medium, involves the use of opposites or contrasting personalities. Is the existence of one is so dependent on the other? What do I mean by this expression?

He is tall. The people who are tall behave in random ways. But, what we have managed to capture and showcase to the world is a small part of the whole spectrum. And, now everyone considers it the mainstream behavior or an accepted form of expression. And, if any form of expression involving tall people deviates from the standard model of the framework, We call it experimental or useless or unique or unknown. Many terms can be cited for such kind of expressions or works depending upon the nature of the people.

The Form Of Expression

The foundational platform of the expression is a large field, which can't be captured as a whole but only infractions and parts. The range of emotions are unlimited, but we have associated ourselves with only a few of them. And, the ecosystem around us plays the role of the network effect. When this becomes the norm, then the problem of each description starts creeping into the society. Because we have let ourselves to be limited by the number of expressions or forms, we have become accustomed to measured response or behavior. The society has created a set of response for the set of emotions, which most of us follow without asking any questions. And, if anyone questions the authority of the society, society blames on the society. It is the biggest and most potent excuse ever made in human history.

The act Of Society

This works in the favor of reinforcing its shared values and stereotypes. Many flickers of incidents, which spark at uncertain times in the ecosystem boost the image of the society and its ideals. The individual is, most of the times, clueless about the ways in which the society functions.

The Limitations of Opposites

The expression of an emotion is limited by the single format, and that is presenting two opposites characteristic of a situation. While many reasons can be cited for the wide adoption of this format, but one of the most prominent is the concept of contextualization. This is very important in our lives, and in our interaction with other human beings. If we are unaware the context of a dialogue or a result, then it becomes quite complex for our brain to process the events occurring in front of us. This is true for most of the art forms and expressions. Providing context to the people for understanding the narrative and making something of the whole situation is rather important if you want your work to be understood by the majority.

The Path Of Sanity

The scope of defining a situation in any given context varies widely depending upon the audiences. But then, you have alternative routes to create your work. Thinking about the people who will read your work is the biggest fence you can build around your creativity.

10 Points From The Book "Man's Search for Meaning Of Life" Written By Viktor Frankl

The Meaning Of Life Introduction The meaning Of Life, as we know it, varies person to person or Moment to moment. There is nothing new to be said about it. We know enough about life to live a peaceful life. Many books and research ultimately suggest the similar answer. Recently, I read the Book called  Man's Search for meaning  , which is a famous book by   Viktor_Frankl , who was a holocaust survivor. He was also an eminent psychiatrist, who founded a new field of therapy called logotherapy(logos means meaning). At this point, it is a mere coincidence that I, too was searching for a book in the genere of self help. Because, since ages, I had left reading books altogether. And, as the research suggests, most of the adults read fewer books after the college and that is quite true for my life too, until now. Hence, this book was a refreshing read after many years in this particular genre. Well, i had the summary of the book on my computer because i ...

The Illusion of an emotional experience

The Illusion of an emotional experience The emotional experience of an experienced man in the world of experiences has little commercial value. The lonely thoughts of becoming the person of your    Dream   must not leave us.  If we can't be that person then at least we can imagine ourselves in that position.  Source: https://www.artmajeur.com/en/artist/loaded88/collection/paintings/1453552/artwork/human-emotion-2/6663853 How does that help ?  It has practically no meaning but emotionally it is very satisfying to oneself. one tries to control his wandering mind to ride in one direction and achieve a milestone before jumping on to other paths. Sometime it looks even scarier when you think of the future of a such person. Can it be called an experience ?  Yes or maybe not .  Because the ideal definition of an experienced person is when someone performs the same act continuously over the years and gains mastery in it....
