Key to Joyful Living

Every Day is in fact a Bonus Life for us

In spite of all possible security arrangements, every day is in fact a bonus life for us in the light of the following unforeseen dangers around us.

Anyone living with security guards is not safe as late Indian PM Indira Gandhi’s assassination had demonstrated.

Even a minor circuit fault or wrong input may distort a drone to kill unintended persons.

We had seen how even the most developed countries could not rescue some of their citizens from the Nature’s fury.

The meteorite that exploded in central Russia few weeks before and innumerable objects circling around our earth remind us the uncertainty of our lives.

The above innumerable list including the kinds of weapons we are accumulating and the increasing tribe of selfish leaders in the countries,  suggest that every day is in fact a bonus life for us.

Every morning, when I wake up, I am happy to be alive and vow to spend that day in viable joyful way.

Can I afford to waste that day worrying about death?

I like to smell and enjoy life and hence I try to avoid the ‘dead’ robot like human beings always working to use all relationships and interactions only to earn money and influence - drowning in the infection of comparison, briefed in a post below.

I start the day with morning walk communicating ‘Good Morning’ to birds and trees.

I enjoy the music (from the birds, thunder,etc) and dance (the trees, river flow, etc) in nature.

I involve in activities that gives meaning to my life and joy to me.

In case death comes to me, I shall welcome it with joy as the day was spent in joy and most of the days in my life were spent in joy as I had divorced myself from the negative sources of memory, persons and places.

A bonus life is only for enjoyment and nothing else.

Note: How comparison becomes the thief of our joy?; http://veepandi.blogspot.sg/2013/12/normal-0-false-false-false-en-us-x-none_18.html

How to nurture the Power for Joyful Life?

Minus human beings, there will be no social power (governments, etc) in the world.

All kinds of power in the world owe their origin to the human beings.

The power of the individual human being is partly inherited by birth (the family, the country, etc) and partly developed. Depending on the nature of the power nurtured, one can lead a joyful life or stressful (& harmful) life.

The uneven magnitude of power in the world human beings will reflect the complex uneven conditions under which the particular individual can develop his/her power within the available means.

The identity components of the individual are the options within the available means as the nuts and bolts in the mechanism of the development of the individual power.

Identity components related to family, caste, language, heritage and country can help the individual to develop power for a joyful life or enslave the person to become an emotional robot, consciously or unconsciously serving harmful vested interests in the world.

Nature is a main source to develop one’s power for a joyful life. By living close to nature and interacting with birds, trees, etc of nature (as revealed in the posts below) one can escape from enslaving robotic influences and contribute to save the world from the following danger.

The world, under modern technology, is weakening the barriers in terms of country, language, caste, religion, etc. That process is being accompanied by both heterogeneous globalization (preserving all diversity in positive manner) and homogeneous globalization (destroying all diversity & nature to serve high energy thirsty robotic life needs).

The homogeneous globalization , threatening all diversities , will induce insecurity dominant mechanism to safeguard the identities in terms of caste, religion, country, etc - the extreme versions exhibiting anti-modern- technology curbing the ‘modern infection’ of the individual human rights in favor of the group identity rights.

The conflict of the homogeneous globalization and heterogeneous globalization is the source for all kinds of social disharmony including terrorism.

Unless we strengthen the heterogeneous globalization and simultaneously weaken the homogeneous globalization, the above conflict can not be weakened.

The forces supporting the homogeneous globalization mainly use the hard power of weapons, etc while those supporting the heterogeneous globalization could use the soft power. If more and more humans join, the soft power will win over the hard power in the long run. That could be the only way to prevent the world and the human beings sacrificed to serve the high energy - induced needs thirsty - robotic life.

Hence our leading a joyful life nurturing our power with the support from nature will strengthen the soft power and simultaneously contribute to the world harmony.

   

For our joyful life Beware of the Cancerous  Identity Mechanism Every one of us has diverse identity components related to our native place, family, culture, heritage, skills and interests. Our joyful life depends on our awareness and nurturing the diversity in our identity. It is like preserving the biodiversity for the well being of our earth. The danger to our joyful life originates in an infection weakening the diversity and the cancerous growth of one or few emotion based identity components weakening the other components. To understand one such mechanism of infection, consider the following example.  Imagine that the number  10  expects the number 4 to fall at its feet as it is lower in value.  No wonder the same number 10 falls at the feet of the number 80 as it is higher in value.  The same number 10, without shame disrespect the 80 when it is permitted to fall at the feet of  400. The purpose of falling at the feet is to increase one's value thereby increasing the scope of more less numbers falling at the feet.  In fact those numbers are the human beings and the value represents their wealth and influence levels- weakening all other identity components in favor of wealth and influence. Any country/society that encourages the above mechanism will have to decay becoming a desert for creativity and good values. The resulting human beings will be like robots programmed to pursuit the wealth and influence sacrificing all good values at their disposal.' Can you be angry with Mathematics?'(post below) exposed the above mechanism.Also emotion will enslave reason - encouraging its misuse thorough terrorist avenues. The unfortunate consequence will be the weakening of the diversity of many identity components of the individual falling prey to emotion based groups, causing violence and disharmony - explained well in -  'Identity and Violence: The Illusion of Destiny' by Amartya Sen The above unfortunate individual will consciously or unconsciously shelter increasing negative feelings and decreasing positive feelings. No wonder even in the midst of trees , birds, hills, rivers, etc , he/she , instead of enjoying the music and dance in nature, will be mentally more occupied with the thoughts induced by the cancerous dominant emotional identity component. Also such persons become the sources of infection to ruin a positive environment/country/society. Beware of such negative influences, if we need to preserve our sheltering of the good feelings for the joyful life. For our joyful life, we need to distant ourselves ( as explained in a post below) from the negative sources .
