Prompts for the Promptless – Ep. 6 – Counterintuition

Prompts for the Promptless – Ep. 6 – Counterintuition

Counterintutition is a seemingly simple concept– it represents a truth that is contrary to common sense or the expectations of intuition.
Some examples of counterintuitive situations: You burn calories when you’re sleeping, flailing around is exactly the wrong thing to do when drowning, and beautifully speckled dart frogs can be poisonous to the touch.

Now my take on it- I have come across so many counterintuitive phrases, it surprises me that even after being proved wrong they are still in use. Here is a list-

1- Practice makes a man perfect but  no body is perfect.

2- Men are more intelligent, powerful, entrepreneur etc. etc. etc. than women, and we all know the truth.

3-  Men are distracted by how a woman dress , especially in some of Asian countries they are forced to put veils, otherwise they are so pure and innocent.

4-  Women are weaker sex whereas  , everybody knows who needs all those medicines.

5-  Crocodile’s tears , they are not at all unhappy while eating but shed tears.

Thinking Aloud

So you think you are a very wise woman

you let go  your children to  grow

you never interfered in their matters

you allowed them to fight their own battle

you made them tough and positive

you smile proudly on your achievements

But,

the moment you hear they are sick, suffering

all you want to do to is to hug them, cuddle them

wrap your arms around them

to hide them from all evils

you don’t want them to suffer

you want to be there always to protect them

knowing well

you will not be there forever to look after them

how love makes one weak

Or

it is your strength?          kids5

Keep high aspirations, moderate expectations, and small needs ~ William Howard Stein

Methinks,

There comes a stage or rather age in life
where aspiration, expectations, and needs
all merge into each other and you aspire,
expect and need  a world,
without hunger, poverty and sickness
a world
without boundaries, discrimination and terrorism
a world full of
love, compassion,  and friendship
a world where religion is compatibility and respect for each other
a religion which embraces every one with open heart.
Is it asking too much ?

Elegance

Elegance

is all about keeping one’s grace,style and composure

in all aspects of life

whether having success and happiness

or feeling little low and  down

or elegance is rather being like The Sun

who keeps its elegance, beauty and composure

always intact

whether rising up or whether setting down

HUMANITY

Arrogance, egoism and hatred

Height of insanity.

Compatibility, compassion and love

Essence of humanity.

Be egoist or human

Right is obviously yours,

But let there be

Awareness and sanctity.
