Is not Pity the cross on which he is nailed who loveth man?

-Thus Spake Zarathustra [Friedrich Nietzsche]

More often than not, pity generates a feeling of inferiority on the one who is being pitied. The gesture which is supposed to be of help, is in turn, taken with a remorse. Instead of reducing the suffering, it aggravates it, makes it more intense.

On wikipedia, there is an entry on pity which notes it to be a distraction. The text is quoted below

“Pity defuses the power of righteous indignation and proper prophetic wrath that lead to action. Pity is a distraction; the soul is divided between it and the action a ‘pitiable’ state demands.”

Denoted by an Active Male and a Tearful Female !!

Pity is a dual edge sword, which if not used with care, can result in an outcome that is apposite to what is actually desired. People with huge ego do not like themselves to pitied !!

The expression of pity is nothing but the extension of the state of being superior. Even the state of being superior is not achieved by elevation of oneself, but in the degradation of the other.

Pointing to a pile of dust,
that had collected,
I foolishly begged to have
as many anniversaries of my birth,
as were represented by the dust.
But I forgot to ask that the years
should be accompanied by youth.
~Ovid, Metamorphoses, Bk XIV
(translated by Anthony S. Kline)

In order to stay in touch with Reality, I constantly remind myself of my capabilities. Every now and then I go back and see where I failed in life, take stock of my failed achievements. Does it make me a better man ?? Does it make me a rational man ?? Does it allow me to make more realistic predictions of what I would be able to achieve ?? The answer is No !!

But it allows me to be, constantly be in touch with what I am not !!

I am not a very big fan of politics. Infact I don’t follow it at all. But, I chanced upon a speech by one of the young MP, Mr. Rahul Gandhi. I would quote a line from him

“We start to think like a big country, like a powerful country. And instead of worrying about how the world will impact us, we start to worry about, how we will impact  the world”

I start fighting only when I know I have lost the battle !!

And then I complain to myself that I was so close but am so far or I have butter fingers. The tendency to delay, postpone and procrastinate the time at which I have to make those important decisions has always hurt me. Yet I have never taken a corrective measure.

I realize that I have worked well in continuously deteriorating whatever little good things I had within me. Why ?? I do not have an answer. The habit of taking feedback has never helped me. I have always listened to the feedback and then justified why I am like the way I am. I have become rigid all the more, having a reason for every flaw within me.

I have become extremely frustrated and short of temper. I have totally lost interest in any person or thing. And I question what is the purpose of going through this ordeal. I question myself whether I am bipolar or I am in one of those 5 stages.

At the end, I ask too many question without having any answer. It has been ages since I had a dialogue with anyone. Well, on the contrary, I feel I have never had a dialogue with anyone and I guess I am in desperate need. If never, then why I have this craving?

I can go on and on with my ramblings, but it is without any fruitful outcome. I can be an epitome. An epitome which will suffice for many categories. But an epitome which is further becoming of how not to be.

Memories are not of people, but the comfort zone they have created for you when they were there. Craving is not because you miss the person, but because they left a void within yourself !!

PS: These are just random scribbles. In their truest sense. They may be incoherent !!
