Decorating The Infinite Capacity Container

Recently I was discussing with my friend about the various types of people we encounter in day-to-day life. One common thing that annoys almost everyone is attitude issues and immaturity level of certain folks. Self realization and self esteem are vital for individuals but rating themselves to be superior to the rest is immaturity. An individual with real talent and hunger for knowledge and wisdom will least have time to dwell upon complexes, but will always be keen to fine tune and improve themselves. They will be respectful to almost all the people they come across for they get the opportunity to learn, realize, understand and implement the good qualities in others, and also learn from their mistakes.

Historically, one would see that some big troubles were created because of certain short-sighted and out-of-mind people. Those “empty vessel would have made heavy noise” that paved way to unpleasant sequence of events. There are many forms in which the empty vessels make noise and the most common format nowadays is “EGO”.

Any normal and matured individual will respect and appreciate a true leader. A true leader will be a great inspiration, a wonderful role model, and an ultimate motivator. A true leader will posses qualities like calm and composed nature powered by honesty, truthfulness, righteousness, unbiased approach with high analytical skills and optimal decision making. All these qualities are result of years of experience and on-field learning, company of great personalities, and self analysis. These qualities cannot be taught with a book or some sessions.

But currently what we are encountering is some people who maybe “skilled labors” misunderstands themselves to have grown to the stature of great leaders and start displaying their complexes just because they got some recognition among peers. Unfortunately, such individuals have the backing of similar immature guys and start making noise strong enough to spoil the balance of a progressive system and shake it out. Their EGO will put oil to the fire, only to burn themselves to extinct. By the moment they realize their mistakes, they would have lost precious time and great individuals from their life.

Imagine an “Infinite Capacity Container” that has two sections. Different people who pass aside the container share their possessions to the person owning the container. The person distinguishes between the good and bad and fills the respective sections in the container. Depending on the richness of the good, the content in the bad section will get churned and converted to good and transferred accordingly. Ultimately, the bad section will become empty and only thing that is present in the container will be goodness.

Whereas on the other hand, if the person in charge of the container is one who consider himself/herself to be superior to the rest, fails to distinguish the good and bad. Anyone who sings praise about him/her will be more appealing for them. Naturally, they will fail to segregate the content properly and the bad stuffs may be dumped into the good section. Indirectly this will result in lower churning and the container will be dominated by bad features. Also if the person is an EGOist, then it is like a hole pierced on the lower part of the good section through which all the goodness (only goodness) leaks. As long as the hole of EGO is present, the goodness however accumulated will keep on leaking and ultimately make the container a rotten and stinky one.

The aforementioned phenomenon is what happens with human beings. The container is nothing but our mind that has infinite capacity. If we could be neutral and support the good, our aura will be good and so will be our deeds and such people will be respected and considered with at most importance. But if a person is addicted to his/her EGO and wants to dominate others, they will be flocked by parasites and will stagnate, and the deeds will start to sting. Their aura will be very negative and normal people over time will hate to accompany such folks.

All of us know what is right, only to satisfy our petty greed we fail to dedicatedly travel in its path. My simple request is, let’s not get blinded and chose the wrong route that lead to self destruction. It may look colorful at the early phase but just like how good rivers were transformed to drainage over time, one's life will also become unpleasant, useless and poisonous if we don’t place our vision at the highest level.

My suggestion to others who are disturbed by the deeds of negative people is to ignore them. There is no use wasting your valuable time and energy at a wrong end. A person who honestly is willing to grow as an individual will voluntarily be dedicated to accept the goodness, churn the bad, carry positive vibe and never be an egoist. So share the knowledge only if the person is worth it. An egoist and superiority complex person is one who is blowing out the light around in his his/her life one by one and forcing themselves into darkness. The light that we may carry will be insufficient unless they are willing to use it to lit up the blown out sources and enlighten themselves and their surroundings.

Let only real talent and character be showered with recognition and grow up in stature.
