Most of the issues we have been discussing in these pages are simple common sense principles. If you read these pages again in your leisure time, you will be able to understand how relevant are these to improve the quality of our external actions, if we apply the same in our day to day life. Sometimes we behave in a way which may irritate others. We may not mean to irritate them, but we will be doing so unconsciously. Sometimes we may be indulging in a deviant behaviour, which we may not be aware, but others will notice.
It is around 3 am in the morning when I am typing this page in my house which is situated on a highway. I heard an ambulance passing through my house and the driver was using the emergency alarm hooter at its full volume. When I looked outside, I noticed the road completely empty and there is hardly any reason for the ambulance driver to use the hooter given the nil traffic on the road. He was causing such a noise pollution.
May be he is using the hooter from the `self' position of having to do something just because he likes doing it. If he places himself in an impartial position and reevaluates his behaviour, he will modify his behaviour by himself. If he does not do this self evaluation, but advised to change his behaviour, he will experience a stress and resistance.
May be it is a good idea to check impartially if you have done something which is out of place.
Is there a checklist to verify if we take the `observer' view point? Yes, there is. Keep reading…
