The following reflection is triggered by reading a post posted on the Facebook wall of one of my friends. He stated,
I like to be a very practical man, believing in the maxim 'disobey and explain' rather than 'obey and complain'. Life's got happiness in store for everyone who's true to oneself. After all, what's life if you gonna live a life of lie..?
This sounds as an engaging good concept -- "Disobey and explain" rather than "obey and complain"! 'Life's got happiness in store for everyone who is true to oneself ' is still generic until it is personalised deep within the interiority.....( obedience and disobedience go parrellel to each other, obedience to your inner voice cannot be a disobedience, if at all, the consequence of it is explanation.... If one needs to obey the inner call to be true to oneself, what else is there --- is it not obedience rather than disobedience?? It is true that when one is not on the path of obedience, the consequent result of the action is 'complaining'. This is a movement of inauthenticity - a state of being a divided self (being true to oneself and the desire of wanting to be true).Think about it.... WE always live in a world of opposites... and there needs to be a creative tension between any opposites or polarities....this is good for right human living...
