Flexibility and resistance

 Flexibility and resistance

Once, I confronted a serious inconsistency within me, about the ancients. 😳
I knew, people until 300 years ago in Bharat had a healthy life style. A healthy 'mind' basically 🙏
A crucial ingredient was the thought contents of their minds.
Non-commercial thoughts. (must be around 95% or more of non commercial thoughts)
As a contrast, the thought-content in today's--me, can be easily traced to some kind of commercial value, and 98% of my thoughts are such! 
Why should it matter? Well, we decided to 'buy' everything, like water, air, sand, instead of using it conservatively, according to our needs. Even today, other life forms in free state don't pay for their food. We earn to pay for food. It matters!

The inconsistency now (of course, only my-problem, not of others!😒)
Why did the ancients try to use "Gold" (top most representative of wealth) as a name for their kids???? 
They were not 'commercial-minded'. Then why desi names 'Sona', 'Swarna', 'Thangam', etc???
My problem, so it is my head-ache. I kept it to keep aching in me till the inconsistency got re-solved.

It dawned suddenly one day!
Gold, the metal..;  Its innate qualities.   Desi style of using 'symbolism' at the drop of a hat 😜
Symbolism serves as a functional example, not just as a name-sake.
I referred to my memory of 7th class. 
Gold is malleable + ductile. (I wish, I had paid more attention to these 2 qualities in gold!😭). 

Damn! 😓(me, that 'damn', not gold 😜 ....🙏) Why didn't I think of it? 

They were 'wishing' for utmost flexibility in the kid, they decided to call as "Sona/Swarna/bangaroo/thangam/etc".   It was not about 'price' of gold😓

The tragedy is, I had already 'looked' at the aspect of 'flexibility' in humans, and still I missed the brilliance of ancients in 'symbolising' this adorable quality in  highly-evolved people 🙏
Proof of my stupidity : I kept on asking young techies an irritating koschan/question like: "What do you recruiters look for exactly in the candidate during the 4th round of personal interview for a 'plum' job???   
(I add 2 teasers, 
1) See, unless you know WHAT you are looking for, and  how can you sight it in the candidate?
2) a hint...   The same thing is what a bride/groom looks for in the other, and fails to sight it, leading to increasing number of divorce rates today, more among 'logical-wizards' called 'techies'😜

And, tragically, I failed to 'see' that the ancients had already known too-well this 'quality' and also, to sight it instantly  🙏🙏🙏( Super techies, in human-intelligence)

I will wind up my blabber now!
All the gadgets we use, need resistance, to be_of_use for us. (a chair needs to resist our weight, otherwise, our bottom faces a crash onto the floor if chair breaks😂)
Humans, need absence of resistance, to be of any use to others at least! (that was my problem 😭. "absence" was the word I used to 'catalogue' in my memory. and "DLL" developed a 'bug' in the hard-disk, my memory.  DynamicLink didn't work in my Library of my-mind)
Absence of resistance is flexibility.   
If I am Gold (instead of the 'idiot' that I am right now!), heat me,  beat me, bend me, stretch me to the limits, do every thing to me, that we do to Gold, I keep shining more, serving more. 🙏🙏🙏
(Lucky that my parents didn't think of naming me as 'Gold' 😜.  Very kind of them. I can resist being good, being useful, being loved, being liked. etc 😓)
The bigger tragedy is, to some extent, I even-had consciously dropped my resistance, when I attempted to reach towards my own spirit, using sophisticated tools bequeathed by ancients, and still failed to use my sense of discrimination to understand the deeper symbolism of ancients when they used the word "gold" for nomenclature of their kids!

flexibly yours,
