Our values & Set theory




Set theory 

Leaving aside the jargon, we can use the most simple samples to understand

How our values that we hold on to, presents a problem in our interaction with others.


2  circles on the extreme left & right are used to represent "values" held by two people "A" & "B" .

Destiny decided that they need to co-exist. May be as spouses, friends, close relatives, neighbours, or as enemies 😜


They have a set of values they hold on to, while going through "life" as it happens with them. The circles represent their values respectively. The circle in the middle with a question mark, is the area of uncertainties ( of values), during the interaction of A & B with each other. 


Taking a live example,

In the year 2011( census year) tamilnadu had some 60,000 ration cards of "no commodities"( these card holders do not want any subsidy on any consumable, from the tax-payer's money. Simple. Zero freebies. They refuse to be social PARASITES... This number dropped dramatically during 2019 or so to just 41,106 such non-parasitical card holders( with a family in each card). Percentage wise,, these 41000 odd cardholders constitute a tiny number among 1,96,00,000 total  ( https://www.tncsc.tn.gov.in/en/PDS.html       for exact numbers)


Those who "hold on" to the values called "zero freebies" are becoming extinct...πŸ˜œπŸ™πŸ™



If a person from "freebie lovers" is going to become a co-dweller with "zero freebie" fellow, the "zero freebie" value-holder is destined to live MISERABLY 😜  ( CLASHES, conflicts, quarrels, emotional tantrums etc are going to be perpetual.  )

Suppose 2 people have total mismatch of values? And these mismatches are in direct-conflict? ( I wont take bribe-----versus------i shall live by bribery).... ill-fated minority-fellow who says " no bribes"....



We inherit values from 

own far-past( karma)

Our ancestors,

Our society of upbringing.


And then, we do our own concoction of permutation and combination.


Our emotions play a vital role, in deciding our mutual "tolerance" levelsπŸ˜œπŸ™πŸ™πŸ™



Ancient Bharat  transcended these problems associated with set-theory. They simply decided to turn reverential.  Inner evolvement was smooth, fast and with a fair degree of certainty. That's why, Bharat  used to be the spiritual destination.  

Ironically, the most advanced tech-city, Bengaluru, faces highest rate of divorces. Courts have to conduct "evening"sessions to manage conflicts of sets-of-values.



Just yours,
