A Man's Perception

In this blog i would like to share about our basic human psychology.

Yesterday as people say it is a black day b'cos of the tragic death of Andhra C.M. Y.S.Rajasekara Reddy.

I am not very good in politics (maybe little knowledge about Tamilnadu politics) but implying from all news channel and interviews he is supposed to be stalwart both in A.P. and Indian politics. Going by history right from his padayatra in 2004 till date supposed to a very good administrator and leader of the masses.

After going thru all the news a thing struck me about our human psychology and i could recall some of it which i studied during my post grad days. It goes like humans have the tendency to think themselves as unique and also they have a feeling that something happening normally will not affect them.

This instinct in every individual's mind is the one which made us evolve from stone age to the modern techie age.

This Beautiful mind has produced many Ramanujams, Einsteins, Gandhis and so on.....

But i am not here to talk about the boon but the bane of this thinking.

Here are some examples which many commonly follow...

Census says most accidental deaths caused due to head injury but we do not wear helmet or seat belt while driving.

Especially while driving we hardly keep our mobile phone down as we always feel thats the only time to catch up in business or with friends.

Saturday nights- our rule is to drink and drive which also leads to numerous accidents.

Do we spare a thought about Smoking and drinking which are injurious to health?

We do not like to wear a protective gear while travelling to swine flu affected areas.

We never head to things which our elder advises right from our childhood to what our government imposes when we are adult......but our perception is what we think is ONLY correct.

My reason for this blog is if Y.S.R headed to the advise of his colleagues not to travel due to bad weather conditions and postpone his trip this catastrophy would have been averted and his legacy would have continued for the welfare of the people.

It is left upto us to go by our mind and decide which road to take.

Adios.
