Identity

Everyone is different from others. And this difference leads you to your identity. Your own identity, which is truly essential for oneself. This identity tells everything about you. Consider any of the recognised persons you know them. Each of them has a certain identity and you seem to recognise them by that identity. The difference is basically by one’s thoughts and his/her opinions on an object or subject or whatever. And not everyone has the thoughts and these differ from one another.

Suppose you had been walking through a garden of flowers. You may be driven crazy by the sweet fragrance of those flowers. And it can be that you truly disliked that sweet essence. What was that which made you think like that? Have you ever observed that? I have experienced a similar situation with myself. Let me tell you an example of my own. You like ice creams, right? Of course everyone likes it except me. I truly dislike it and can’t eat if it is the finest of all. Why? I have a reason. So you may also have a specific reason for everything that you like or dislike.

You may appreciate someone for their success in their particular field and don’t want to know how he did it as you are only bothered about the work that was done magnificently not the procedure unless and until it is of your field. My English textbook has a unit headed as “Are you smart?” defining and describing about the human nature or nearly like that. And there’s another one top lined as “Are you creative?” That was an interesting unit to enjoy. There the author describes seven tactics for being creative. The author says to follow these seven rules:

1. Follow the rules
2. That’s not logical
3. Find the right answer
4. Be practical
5. Don’t be foolish
6. That’s not my area
7. I’m not creative
Some quotations from this unit:
“Discovery lies in seeing what everybody has seen, but thinking what nobody has thought.” says Albert Czent Gyorgi.
“Nothing is more dangerous than a single idea, if it is the only one you have” says Emile Chartier [French Philosopher].

So this unit jumping from one point to another stresses on creativity and telling everyone to be creative. There’s one point to be brought forward which tells about being logical. In many cases the people are told to be logical and they say one should have a logical mind. But this unit has a contrary statement which states that being logical one has only two alternatives and is forced to select or do among those two alternatives. This continues telling that ideas generate in loose soil where one has all the ability to increase his thinking beyond the actual situation and hence having not two, but many such alternatives. So what do you think? Should one be logical or not? I am still confused at this question. Well according to my analysis, logical thinking always doesn’t serve the purpose [I think] and must be used at certain instances and not at every instance. After reading this unit everybody would ask himself, “Am I Creative”? That’s an obvious question that one would have. And one would be thinking about all the creative things that one has done to suffice the same.

Well do you have a specific identity? I suppose I have one, but I won’t tell and it is not a big mania to make me different from others. So what’s your identity,eh?
