Human Nature
Logged in today to my blog account to find that I have been TAGGED!!! ???
I don’t know how to explain it, but to get your first tag is something that keeps a smile on your face which lasts the whole day 
I was tagged by angel-doc who in her own words is a woman-doc-friend, a blogger with a strong affection for hyphenated words and someone who’s posts I have always found to be excellent reads. Having been fed on a regular dose of Scrubs, ER and Robin cook its nice to get to know the person inside the while coat.
Ahem…enough soapfying of my tagger…and getting down to business
The subject of the tag is “Human Nature” which is one of the things I think I am weak at. Be it judging people or dealing with people or anything with the root anthro in it.
Being an engineer (not to lean too much into the cliché) I like things that are logical. I mean, I like it when a=b and b=c follows with `a=c`. I like it, my mind likes it. But in case of human beings `a` can be any range of values from b-z and might borrow something from other scripts as well. But then again, being human (I would want you to believe that wouldn’t I? :P) I, at some level like this unpredictability, chaotic-ness ….for a lack of a better word….humanness. It is the same factor that mystifies and at the same time excites me.
(Disclaimer: the nature of the tag is such that once you read it there is HEAVY chance that you get influenced by it…that’s Heisenberg at work for u there….but still I shall try to be as unbiased as “Humanly” possible )
First To Name The people I want to Tag
Being my first tag I wish to limit it to just my best friend Zubin aka Madnezz aka crazy_guy
The second part of the tag is about the "Kinds of People I Judge"
I do not believe in “earth is flat” type of judgments and believe that most people are just products of their upbringings. While I do give this due consideration while judging people, still for getting a reference point from which to see the outer world, to introspect myself and make decisions I judge people. But to draw a list would be hard but here goes
I judge people who are born with the silver spoon and act as though they are the only people who should be living in the world. And on the opposite side if a person with the same background shows humility, I value it a lot.
As with most people, I dislike sycophants. While I do believe that you need to be in the favor of the powerful, you should have a stand of your own and that stand should have some driving force other than mere sycophancy.
I can accept a certain level of Hypocrisy, since at times I have felt that I am a hypocrite and with this the set of all hypocrites’ changes from “them” to “we”. And True to my human nature I have tried to justify it and the justification I could couture up is pretty straight forward. Your views change and when it does a lot of associated ideas change. For example, in my school I used to proudly declare that I won’t drive a polluting vehicle and I was vehemently against my parents for buying a car. But now I can’t live without my little Unicorn. I think it can be attributed to naivety than hypocrisy but then again I cant be impartial in judging me :P. But oscillatory or totally contradicting morals with in a small temporal space is something I would despise
Maybe I will add more here later
The third part of the tag is about "People and Things I admire"
I admire a lot of people. Recently I have been doing a lot of Find + Replace of Envy with admire in my lil book of emotions.
I admire
- People who are polite and courteous even when they gain nothing from it
- People who are dedicated for a cause and work tirelessly for it (Its something I really cant do)
- People who are able to take bold decisions against the flow due to right reasons
- People who are brave enough to speak out the truth how ever hard it is
- People who can understand people much better than me (that would include a large percentage of the world’s population ;))
- People who can live life as it comes
- People whose writing moves me (songs/poems/prose).
- Music and people who can sing from their hearts…and who can enjoy music
