We have definitions for everything, we understand and derive a meaning from the definitions.
Tell me what your mind thinks when I say STRENGTH.
Think for a second.
My mind alone pulled different situations where I felt strong. My definition of strength varies according to situations. It might or might not be same for everyone.
I will write few, what my brain recollected when I asked about strength.
- Physical strength
- Mental strength
- Social Strength
- Soldier’s strength
- Strength of guitar strings
- Strength of concrete & steel (My Civil Engineer instincts heheh :P)
- Strength of skills
- Strength to tolerate stupidity
- Root strength of plants
- Strength received with good energy
I can go on and write 20 more easily because, as I think more, it triggers various situations in my brain, recollects and gives all the situations.
I even defined strength in best possible ways and here is the one, STRENGTH IS JUST THE ABILITY TO DO WHAT YOU LOVE, EVEN IF YOU ARE THE BEST AT IT OR NOT.
So imagine only one person is engaged and kept on thinking just about one word and there are already various memories, situations, definitions! Imagine 10 people are involved, will the outcome be same ?
Definitions are derived based on our experiences or learnings which may or may not match for everyone. But I can rely on my definitions because I have experienced and defined them based on my experience.
Another example is, when I say TASTY I will remember the yummiest food I have tasted, but will the memory or situation is same for everyone ? Imagine if 10 members are thinking about the word TASTY and will all the minds pull the same situation ? Think for a second.
What if we ask the 10 members to share the situation where they have recollected the memories using word TASTY. Everyone shares their different stories and expresses their DEFINITION of tasty.
But, if I say no it is not the TASTY which I’m expecting, my definition is the ultimate and correct. Will your mind accepts that statement ?
For some Taste can remind about the tastiest food, although taste is the sensory related where anything which touches our taste buds will define the substance because our receptors are recognizing ans sensing the substances. But, do we use TASTE only for food, did we stop exploring with the word and definition of TASTE ?
TASTE is also defined as a ability to recognize and judge the skills then came, taste in Music, taste in literature, taste in travelling to places, taste in fashion, taste in architecture, taste in cars or automobiles. My mind alone reminded me of so many things when I just triggered it with the word TASTE, so imagine how different it can be when 10 people are involved, when 100 people are involved or imagine the outcome when 1000 people are involved, it goes on multiplying because thoughts and perspectives have no limit.
so why all these discussions ? Now imagine words called SUCCESS, TRAVEL, FREEDOM, INDEPENDENT, WORK, BELIEVES. As you read there will be some definition back of your mind which already popping up as soon as you read the word. But are those really your definition ? Because those few words are just the foundation of what we actually are and what we really love, those words may define our life and will let us lead a life which we love.
Don’t you think such important words which can shape our vision to lead our dream life should be defined by us ?
It may take some time to explore and define, which may evolve as our perspective evolves, with the learning’s and unlearnings, with experiences and practices, we can define same word once, twice, thrice or 100th time, it can go on without being constant because as we evolve we may change our definitions or tweek a little here and there.
This is to let you think if we ever had defined anything in our lives based on the other’s experiences instead of trying it on our own, or let others define our definitions.
So what happens if we let others define ? they seem happy, what is wrong if we follow the same. There’s nothing wrong in following a path which is already defined but, is it yours?
We don’t even match our fingers prints with others, we have it our own and it is just a small element of our body, so imagine if we start exploring our own path!
It is a subject to think right ? Also think about the limitations if we define and conclude, when it is believed that we evolve continuously.
