You might have heard a lot many times "Its not we who make the choices , its the choices which make us".
I have always tried to understand and implement the subjective nature of this quote.
Starting from the basic instincts upon which we base our choices to the assumptions from which they are drawn , every reference is subjective and conditional.
Say for an eg - : its all upon us to assume things that make us happy rather than assuming things that make us sad. Every decision , every choice that we make anchors our behavior and attitude towards worldly things.
Either we try and look up to every event as an opportunity that can turn things around or we tend to look down on things with suspicion.
This is the pretext that i have been recently trying to map to the "August Revolution" by Anna Hazare against corruption. there was corruption all around us , all this while. we probably chose not to raise our voice against all the hue and cry and were pretty comfortable with "chalta hai" outlook as long as it didnt concern us in a huge way. Communism existed in the country all this while but there were no sparks of a revolt , or if there were any , they were suppressed by the bigwigs in the economy.
Now all of a sudden , we aligned our v(ch)oices with 1 voice that raised to break the normalcy.The nearest comparison i could attribute to this kind of a behavior was that of goslings.
Goslings are creatures which upon breaking out of thier eggs , become attached to the first moving object they encounter and follow then whole their life. this is perfectly replicated for humane behavior too.
In this context , I am not against unified voice against corruption , I am just trying to analyze humane behaviour in respect of day-to-day events. I had read this gosling theory in behavioral economics which was mapped to the dynamics of demand and supply. Extrapolating the same wrt to this domain , i just attempted to find if it applies to human psychology on a whole.
Ending these rambling , with Tom Sawyer's words - " in order to make a man covet a thing , its just necessary to make that thing difficult to attain". Is this the way LIFE shapes itself ?
