I think this is the longest I have gone
without blogging. I am not a regular blogger but I do make a sincere effort to
get one out once in a week. I write when something really inspires me and when
that happens, words start forming in my head and thoughts run to and fro and I
perform in depth analysis inside my head.
I have always enjoyed tracing back to the
root of my thoughts – like how I ended up thinking about what I am right now
and how one thought led to another. It has never failed to amuse me how my train of thoughts move along in my head.
A human mind can never be idle for even a
second. And, an idle mind is a devil’s workshop. Is that the reason for the
wrong doings in this world? Right from terrorism to murders to rapes to thefts.
Most of the time, these acts require meticulous planning and a lot of time.
These crimes also are instantaneous. But what if this energy is directed for
good causes? What is the root cause for the crimes? It cannot just be an idle
mind. It could also be due to psychological issues, exposure to anti-social
elements, influence of wrong-does etc. But, again every human is gifted with
the sense to think and choose between right and wrong. There is no straight-cut
definition between right and wrong and it all lies in the perception of the
individual.
I have always wanted to understand the mind
of a person who commits a crime – what goes on in their mind before they do
something wrong. Here when I say ‘wrong’ it means any act that would hurt
others or cause destruction. The mind
plays tricks sometimes and an act of murder or other similar heinous acts may
be committed rashly. Does that mean the mind has the ability to over-power us? The
human mind sure is a mystery and that is the reason they have a stream of
science entirely dedicated for its study. The human mind is web of tangled
thoughts and I guess when a string is cut off the mind goes bonkers and the
person tends to commit insane things.
So, it is always better to keep one’s mind
occupied in a healthy manner and keep the brain engaged with some positive and
result oriented activity.
Now,
I am trying to analyse on how I started to write about me not being a
regular blogger which led on to idle mind and to the ugly side of crimes. Human
mind sure is unpredictable.
