What does being practical means?
It means think with your brain, and let heart take a back seat. It means keep your emotions at a side and just think what's more beneficial for you. This word was good when was used by people in business b'coz there these feelings and emotions don't hold any place and what matters is money though my conscious doesn't even accept that but still....
But shall this word be really there in our relationships and personal lives??? I really doubt.
If for instance parents thought that they don't see any benefit in upbringing their child as they don't see any benefit in doing so, the situation would have been different.
If that ALMIGHTY wanted us to think always about ourselves, he wouldn't have given us a heart, he wouldn't have created feelings,emotions and all that that creates a bond, which bounds parents to their child, a lover to his beloved etc. The creator of this universe can't be a fool to do that.
When a friend (a very practical friend actually) of mine used to tell me "be practical VT" I always used to think what that really means but today I understand.
To me this word PRACTICAL is a refined word for "being SELFISH".
To me it means think of yourself first, love yourself and leave others, do everything for yourself and don't even think of others, and have different opinions for yourself and others (in the same situation), don't bother if someone else is in trouble because you aren't in the same situation and that's why you have all the rights to enjoy......... and this goes on.
But shall we not think about it and care for people rather than just think about ourselves. I don't want to be that way. I don't want to be that practical, i mean selfish though i try saying no to what's beyond my range which I never used to do before.
Well I'm not very sure whether I'm right or wrong but as far as I have seen and understood people and life, that's my perception about the "Practical" people.
Hey whosoever reads this, do tell me whether you buy this or not because I always believe that introspection and reviews have the power to change one's views.
dude i think wat u said just made a lot of sense but something like this will not b discussed by ppl because theu r not real themselves and the selfishness of man is on it extreme and thats why we talk abt end of the world soon enough because the true values of love on which mankind can survive are so lost or to say so rare .... hope more ppl thought abt this :)
ReplyDeleteIts not a question of being right or wrong..different people have different view..the way you look at it might be right for you but some may say you are being rather impractical or foolish.. I personally stand by what you said..But people out are rather not 'Practical' but most self-centered..So i feel its better to listen to your heart and decide whether you are right or wrong,and if you still don't get the answer just have faith in God and take your decision..In today's world even being 'Practical' in a relationship doesn't help..its always what you sow, you reap..patience, trust and understanding is whats required..
