A Mind so Fragile

It's amazing how Sigmund Freud and Carl Jung (Pronounced Yung) explained Ego; for if not everything, atleast they suggested something that we believe and use to define and describe things which were else out of our purview. Psychology is a very amazing science and I being a student don't have much to contribute to it at present. But then if all that we believe in, all that we hold as right or wrong is nothing but a perception, and a perception that we hold is what we hold till something else molds it, then what is the significance of holding a perception which itself is nothing but malleable?

The thought process which is governed by nothing but an idea or approach of being right both socially and personally is nothing but an extension a forced perception that helps us to be the one, we want to see ourselves as. This thought process of seeing everything from our own created window is the chief reason for our mind's unrest. We constantly find ourselves in the conflict of opinions, of thoughts, of interest and of beliefs.

M. Esther Harding quoted, “Conflict is the beginning of consciousness.” And going by this, we all must have become too conscious of ourselves and others as most of our conflicts are either with self (internal) or with others (external). Conflict is inevitable, as fortunately the conscious minds' perceptions are different, but unfortunately most of our beliefs disable us from understanding anything which we never entered in our belief system.

So an individual who is, what he is, by the virtue of his circumstances and the way his psychology was changed in his formative years. And thus throughout his life an individual remains a puppet of a mind which is so fragile.

"The intellect has little to do on the road to discovery. There comes a leap in consciousness, call it intuition or what you will, and the solution comes to you and you don't know how or why."

-Albert Einstien
