So as I mentioned in my Integrative seminar (week 6) blog that the incidents and person could change our lives. So this week is also as same as the last two weeks, feeling nostalgic. After discussing one of my past occurrences, I thought of discussing another incident which deviated me from an overthinker to a smart thinker. Sometimes we often take decisions while we are angry. This incident changed this habit of mine to a great extent, and now I try to be as calm as I can. So the event was ‘My last fight with him’, and the quote related to it is ‘Keep your face to the sunshine and you can never see the shadow’ by Helen Keller. I know this incident can sound useless and worthless, but it changed me a lot.
My last fight with him:- We all have that one point in our life which we think is the most stupid moment of our life. The moment when you behaved like what you should not, but you realized afterward that now you can’t do anything to make that any better. Long back I was like as violent as a fire. A small spark and little bit of fuel could lit me up vigorously at that time. Once I was so much puzzled about something, that a person said me something that he should not at that moment. I fought with him and afterward, I realized that there was no point of a fight at that moment. I was not sorry for that moment but that made me realized that violence is nothing just consumption of energy and time when you can think calmly and come to a better outcome. That fight changed me, my nature and my sense of thinking. Now I always take a minute or two to think before coming to a consequence. That while changed me into calm water pond from a vibrant river. Now you can get a reflection of your behavior in my behavior to you instead of taking you off with me with my aggressive waves.
So this can describe me to you because these incidents made me a whole new personality and the new me is described in these incidents and by these quotes.
