Is change very deceptive or is it merely a perception? - 1 January 2012

Does change actually happen or is it a deceptive perception within our minds?
Bharat Bhushan - 1 January 2012

People change. From a child, to a young person to an adult, as a spouse, as a young parent and as a middle-aged individual. Relationships change over the years. Proximacy may cause occasions for arguments and lead to dissension. Age-old perspectives can be deceptive within different periods of time. There is always a first time for beginning with all activities. The correct approach to understanding change is to accept it.

We may question change and we may hesitate. We analyse those who are close to us. We analyse too much. We examine intentions, behaviour, reasons, logic, friendship and enmities. Our assumptions become our convictions within our mind. Why? Because, we think we are correct. We determine the correctness of our deceptive perceptions within our minds.

Distance can also lead to the same ideas. "The myth of Sisyphus" tells us that "there is no punishment more severe than eternally futile labour." This is true within our minds. We are always at labour within our minds, determining how our close ones understand us and examine our actions towards them. We are always living out a myth. Any examination of the reasons of behaviour of those individuals close to us is always a dirty way of going about our lives.

There is always a supplier and a recepient of actions. We supply reasons for analysis and we assume reasons for the actions of others. It seems more and more apparent that each individual is a lonely island. We live by ourselves within our midns, and we  grow positively and negatively within ourselves. We lose objectivity, and we establish a bias within us.

Our value systems may destroy themselves within our lifetime. We are products of our own values and we cannot retain our value neutrality. Maintaining the freedom from our values is crucial because all our values are our assumptions to social facts. Empirically observable reality is a perception. Public opinion is a social fact. Qualitative matter being observed objectively is an endeavor. Relativity, within any particular context, should give us similar behavior patterns, which does not happen. We will end up nowhere as always, and this would become a trend.
