SPARE A THOUGHT.....

At the end of winning a rat race, we are still a rat.

positionality - the root of bondage...

is freedom about repositioning of our conceptual perceptions alone or is it about seeing everything as a concept and responding in our own comfort zones without limiting positionalities...
it is positionalities which make us miserable....
we are unable to accept people with contrarian positions....and life seems like a battle ground....
a father is comfortable with the "arranged marriage " mechanism, while his daughter is not...she is comfortable with a different mechanism....a different concept of relating platforms...
perfectly fine, as long as they are responsible for their own adherances and do not try thrusting their viewpoint on the other....
and can share a beautiful friendship in their relating space inspite of differing perspectives...
but that hardly happens....
and thats where misery lies.....in trying to convert the other to one's own point of view....or incases where domination is possible, enforcing behaviour modes....domination is violent....
"positionality" ( an ego-centric location in consciousness) is normally "reactive"......never responsive....and limits our abilities to relate, for we are constantly judging others by empirical standards we have set ourselves....judging is always contextual....
when we are able to see and be aware of our own "positionalities" in life, whatever they may be....we see them for what they are..contextual emergences in our space....based on our conditionings, our experiences....and we respect emergences in other's spaces too....in an acceptance born in understanding of the underlying processes....
then , we don't judge...we are able to relate....from a domain that is beyond concepts....from a deeper core of our beings...
