The Other ME

“How could he even ask that to me?”
“You know, he was probably right. You are just looking it from a wrong perspective”
“But what if that was the perspective he used?”
“May be. But may be not. And it never hurts to look at the positive side”
“Did he even expect me to do such a thing? Doesn’t he know me?”
“He knows about you. And that is why he is asked. You do know that there is another way of looking at it..so why do you refuse to do so?”
“Because that idea is what came to my mind first”
“And so did the other one”
“But why should I forsake an idea if it fits the bill”
“Because your views are biased. You want to look at the negative aspects of everything instead of enjoying the brighter side”
“I am just trying to be on the defensive. What if?”
“So why not think as “What if NOT?”. You may end up losing something good just because you were defensive”
“On the other hand, I will be just as much vulnerable. Don’t you know ‘Prevention is better than cure’”
“But a cure for what?? You think of cure only when you know a disease, want to fight a disease. You are practically blocking all nutrients so that no disease comes either.”
“How do we differentiate then? How do we know what to block and what not to?”
“Have you seen your body work? When a disease comes first, your body is not capable of fighting it. But during the course, it develops itself to fight the disease, thus bringing itself back to health and now also prepared for defense against it in future”
“So you think that I should get a few blows and then learn from it.”
“Failure is inevitable. The only question is ‘Does it beat you down or do u kick yourself back for defense’
