ANALYSIS


Most of the people in this world expect happiness, comfort and benefit from anything or anybody they are associated with directly or indirectly. They indulge in various thoughts, works, activities and pursuits to get them somehow. Many believe and wish to achieve them based on their fate, common sense or special effort. In doing so, very few have analytical thinking. Analysis means assessing the result of an action or phenomenon in a logically meaningful and practically probable perspective without depending on chance. I wonder to know that 98% of people in this world are not thinking about or doing anything based on analysis but emotional imbalance or blind loyalty. Rational and logical thinking is not there much. Let us examine this phenomenon taking different examples in the format of assumption, analysis and conclusion.

A. Assumption

All rich and influential people in this world are comfortable and happy.

Analysis

1. Those that have excessive money and assets cannot live happily always because their lives are also not in their control completely. They too suffer due to deaths of their dear ones, diseases, losses and pains.

2. One, who is rich, struggles to earn and retain more in course of time. In this network of desires and fantasies, one fails to allot adequate time to one’s personal or professional life. One is missing one’s life.

3. Rich ones fear that poor ones may attack and grab their assets one day. Revolutions, in all ages, are stories of revolts of the poor and the hapless against those who are rich and influential.

4. One cannot be happy and comfortable just because of money and assets but education and awareness about the contemporary things and phenomena. Illiterate, stupid, eccentric and miserly ones miss joy.

5. One cannot remain influential for long in any field or place. If somebody is doing what I order, it means I have authority to control his behaviour. He disobeys me the moment I lose control on him.

6. Nobody knows how fast one becomes rich or poor. One that became poor after being rich for a long time suffers more than one that became rich after being poor. Our being rich always is not in our control.

7. Rich ones turn into parasites in majority of the cases. They depend on many service provides to lead their lives comfortably. When their servants disobey or cheat them, they can’t come out of that shock fast.

8. Poor ones often seek the help of rich ones in emergencies and helpless conditions. Rich ones cannot do so, even after they become poor, because of their ego and self-respect, the traits they got as rich ones.

Conclusion

One’s happiness does not depend on being rich or poor but favourable conditions at different times.

B. Assumption

Those that have goals in lives and professions reach great altitudes of success and happiness.

Analysis

1. Life is predestined. It means a soul takes a birth based on its Karma. It is directed to such destinations which are due to it. Man’s desires, commitments and decisions cannot change his account of Karma.

2. Goal requires one to plan attentively and struggle to achieve it systematically. Majority of occurrences in our lives and circumstances around us may not be in favour of us. They pull us away from our plans.

3. When one is focused exclusively on one goal, one fails to appreciate the value of other creatures and things meant to be cared by one. To that extent, one is unable to fulfil one’s responsibilities completely.

4. Setting a goal and working hard to achieve it involves a lot of stress and disappointment on the way. One may be deeply affected physically and mentally by the time one achieves it. What’s use of such goal?

5. Setting a goal means restricting one’s freedom. One dies as scheduled with or without goals. Goals centred on achievements in material life bind one’s soul to that trajectory of attachments and rebirths.

6. Being happy and successful doing many good things is better than being devoted to one cause and its effects only. Being ideal and hard-working in all that one does is better than being good one way only.

7. One without goals can live happier than one with one or many goals. One without goals accepts and appreciates what is given by God and nature instead of fighting against the strong currents of destiny.

8. When one is focused towards one goal only, one misses and loses many on that turbulent journey. It is a path of multiple compromises, sacrifices and suffering. Bothering oneself intentionally is not desirable.

Conclusion

Setting and struggling to reach goals actually disturbs and disfigures one’s life in the long run.

C. Assumption

Democracy would be successful in a country where people are educated and enlightened.

Analysis

1. As many think, a democracy is not actually a system of rule which is meant for the poor but one which thrives depending on the ignorance, innocence and helplessness of millions of masses.

2. Democracy cannot be successful even if all are educated and enlightened. They have self-respect, multiple opinions and options about many things. They cannot approve many decisions of governments.

3. Highest amount of corruption and disorders are being observed in democracies because rulers and the ruled misuse the excessive freedom they have got. They commit mistakes and blunders when fearless.

4. All democracies are supposed to be welfare states but it is not happening at ground level. Giving many things freely to people demands a lot of money. Governments are telling lies to make people buffoons.

5. In democracies, a variety of people define and utilize freedom in their desirable fashion but not in a way expected by elected governments. One’s unlimited freedom may limit the scope of other’s freedom.  

6. Family politics have become an apparent phenomenon in democracies like India. There people love folks of a particular family more than those that have intelligence, idealism, innovation and rationality.

7. In democracies, the rich are becoming the richer and the poor the poorest. Unfair laws and unjust policies of selfish and manipulative governments are actually becoming the root cause for all problems.

8. All governments function depending on income collected from people in various ways. In democracies also, governments give money to poor people with one hand and collect it back with another hand.

Conclusion

Democracies offer freedom to many but not happiness to all in a fair and justifiable manner.

D. Assumption

Atheists believe that there is no God because He is invisible and inaccessible to those on earth.

Analysis

1. We cannot see and access everything present in this cosmos because our abilities are not enough for it as human beings. Just because we cannot see electricity and air, we can’t say that they are not there at all.

2. We, as ordinary human beings, know that even a top does not rotate around itself without application of energy from a source. Then, how is earth planet rotating around itself without the energy of some force?

3. Theists believe that a soul is the vital force animating and running the physical abode of a life form. We should believe it. If one can awake a dead body, we can believe that there is no soul at all anywhere.

4. Trees are blooming in time. Creatures are growing in a systematic manner. Time is occurring perfectly. There is logic in many things happening on earth. Logic is the result of careful planning of a creature.

5. There are many saints who have acquired superhuman capabilities through years of rigorous meditation. They do wonders which even scientists cannot explain. So, God is there empowering them.

6. Man is unable to create anything new from vacuum. He is making a variety of products depending on something readily available on earth planet. It means somebody kept everything ready for us long ago.

7. If sun and moon are objects composed of cosmic material that formed due to evolutionary occurrences, why can’t man also create such objects applying his superior intelligence, just like bus and train?

8. Why is man unable to avoid the occurrence of earthquakes, cyclones and volcanic eruptions if he believes that everything is happening by cause and effect? He should control the cause applying science.  

Conclusion

Man saying that there is no God is like raindrops telling us that there are no clouds at all on earth planet.

E. Assumption

Feminists believe and argue that females are equal to males in all respects.

Analysis

1. In this world, God did not create any two creatures with the same objectives and functions. Each creature is created with a specific purpose. There is no equality between any two creatures.

2. A man can’t live without a woman. A woman can’t live without a man. Both are interdependent. Both should seek pleasure and fulfilment realizing that they should live together harmoniously always.

3. A woman is like earth. A man is like a beautiful garden of flowers. Flowers cannot grow without the support of the earth. Earth does not look beautiful without flowers. One has no value without the other.

4. A man can dance, bath or sleep nakedly during day or night in the open. A woman cannot do so because she is scared of attack by man. It means nature is expecting her to remain within her limits.

5. A woman cannot do all that a man can do despite her best efforts and abilities. Most of the difficult and risky works in this world are being carried out by man only for ages. It means woman is not equal to man.

6. There are many differences between a man and a woman in terms of bodily functions and psychological changes. She is unique. He is special. Wonders happen only if two different entities join.

7. A woman can’t work like a man for many hours. It means a man is a strong worker. A woman is a sensitive worker. A sensitive worker can achieve great things in the company of a strong worker only.

8. A woman bears creatures patiently because she needs their care and protection in her latter life. This is why God endowed her with such abilities but not to fight with a man for equality in all things done there.

Conclusion

Believing that females are equal to males is like accepting that sky and earth have no differences at all.

F. Assumption

Some say that females should not wear revealing clothes to avoid misbehaviour of males.

Analysis

1. Body is an asset of the individual concerned. How to beautify and present it to others in different contexts is up to her. If others dictate her and how to wear, it is interfering in her freedom.

2. Man does not seek pleasure from possessing all that he likes. He derives joy observing things from distance and through fantasies also. He should see and enjoy the beauty and styles of women this way.

3. All cannot have attractive bodies. All those who have enticing physical beauty do not expose it to others minding their privacy and secrecy. So, those showing it to all are actually doing a great service.

4. We love animals and birds. We keep them in our homes as pets. We treat them in the best way possible but do not insult or attack them. Can’t we treat females with this much decency and sensitivity also?

5. We appreciate if our mother, sister, cousin or a well-wisher wears attractive clothes. We enjoy their presence. Why can’t we extend the same kind of warmth towards other females living around us?

6. We watch nude photos and videos of vulgarity secretly to satiate our basic instincts. It means we love to watch the hidden beauty of other creatures. Then why should we blame if it happens publicly?

7. We should not assess the character of a person based on her clothes only. Just because one wore highly revealing clothes to promote oneself, we should not consider her as a whore. It’s immoral and unfair.

8. Our response and reaction need not be offensive and exploitive when something unexpected appears somewhere. We can feel sympathetic, empathetic and generous also towards such innocent creatures.

Conclusion

Man should not dictate women not to wear revealing clothes but should know to treat them also well.

G. Assumption

Poverty and pain can be removed from this world through collective efforts of all.

Analysis

1. We don’t know when and how one becomes poor or rich. It means we cannot control the lives of others. We have no control on our lives also. Then how can we make one rich or poor through our efforts.

2. Poverty is a result of one’s ignorance, stupidity, laziness or fate. Nobody can acquire and retain all those that he desires as a man. Everybody is poor from some perspective. We cannot get rid of it.

3. If there is no poverty, everybody intends to play the role of a king or queen only. Then who play the roles of servants and workers? Nature balances poverty and richness in all ages silently to save us.

4. Karma influences the lives and journeys of millions of creatures in this world. It is predestined and inevitable. Man cannot alter the course of Karma that is applicable to a creature. Poverty is such one.

5. Pain is a result of one’s sense of loss. Losing something or the other is a natural quality of all living organisms as part of their evolution. Loss is inevitable. One must be ready to bear pain continuously.

6. Mostly pain is caused because our desires are unlimited. If we control our desires and keep them to the minimum possible, we don’t have pains. Self-tuning is better than trying for self-sufficiency.

7. We understand the value of joys and comforts only when we experience the ill effects of sources of pain. So, God intentionally subjects us to pain quite often. He wants us to reform fast this way.

8. Pain is the integral and inherent part of lives of all creatures. Diseases, accidents, deaths, natural calamities, disasters, wars and massacres are sources of pain. Controlling them completely is impossible.

Conclusion  

Poverty and pain cannot be uprooted from human world because they are main characteristics of that race.

H. Assumption

Every action has an equal and opposite reaction.

Analysis

1. A dog remains highly loyal and reliable to its master but he does not remain so towards it. He neglects and exploits it to his benefit always. He is opposite of the qualities his dog possesses and exhibits.

2. Many boys crave and struggle for the looks of exceptional beauties in their locality. They may or may not care them at times. When, where, how and why they behave differently is not fit for a formula.

3. A generous woman serves her family members like a Goddess not minding her comforts and priorities when she is energetic. Others do not reciprocate such love and care when she expects them from them.

4. When I throw a stone applying my complete energy to a distance, it falls and settles there but does not respond or react. It means we should not expect response or reaction for many things we do in life.

5. Many devotees pray their favourite deities to make and keep them comfortable, happy and successful always. They may or may not be so in course of time. Results are uncertain and absurd in this domain.

6. All passionate lovers and admirers think and do a lot for their beloved ones. In majority of the cases, there won’t be acknowledgement or appreciation at all from the other end. Response is not guaranteed.

7. The more one is careless and spends money recklessly; the more one becomes poor, unhealthy and helpless. He is not becoming rich and happy. It means our character decides what we become.

8. If we kiss or hug a rock continuously instead of unreliable girls or boys in our societies, there won’t be response at all. It means many can only accept our love but don’t know how to respond or react.

Conclusion

There is no rule without exceptions. Perfection is our imagination only. It’s not possible in reality.

I: Assumption

Familiarity breeds contempt in the long run.

Analysis

1. Let me have a few boxes of currency notes with me for any length of time. I never develop aversion for it. I am attributing great value to it. It means it has no intrinsic value but the one imagined by me.

2. We have many assets in the form of gold, clothes, gifts, lands and other items. We are developing more attachment with them in course of time. We never hate some things and persons in our sensitive lives.

3. If we live in a place for long, we develop stronger and deeper attachments with it. We cannot go away from those surroundings, events and creatures. It means we are all slaves to things of familiarity.

4. Life is sweeter and desirable to millions of creatures because it cannot be retrieved once lost. They struggle to continue it somehow somewhere. It means we love our life stronger than anything else.

5. Brushing, washing and bathing are chores in our common lives. All do it regularly. They don’t avoid them after some years. It means we do many things because they are vital, not because we like them.

6. Many do their jobs or involve in their chosen fields of business for 30 or 40 years. They don’t jump into other options at will. They cannot do anything else. They stay there only because they are helpless.

7. Everybody experiences and realizes that there is nothing in human life except disappointment, toil, pain and repentance. Actually they should shun such life but they are embracing it lovingly always.

8. We see our body everyday but we don’t develop aversion for it even after many years of existence. We are beautifying it more and more as we grow from one stage of life to another in our material journey.

Conclusion

We don’t dislike all that we have. We, in fact, love those, which are in our company for long.

J: Assumption

All Indians are my brothers and sisters. This is part of a pledge made by Indian students at schools.

Analysis

1. Most of the Indians don’t love their brothers or sisters also but the attractions of beauty, assets and comforts. They don’t play their roles in a morally and legally appreciable manner in many contexts.

2. We don’t share much of our personal and professional information with all Indians but only with those whom we think important from our outlook. It means we don’t take all as our reliable family members.

3. All Indians cannot be our brothers and sisters only but uncles, aunts, cousins and grandparents based on the difference of age between us and them. We should not narrow the meaning using brothers and sisters.

4. We don’t use abusive language and don’t resort to physical violence with our brothers and sisters. Most of Indians cannot spend even one day without blaming somebody. Many hurt others physically.

5. Most of the Indian students, who are reciting this pledge, actually do not understand the essence of this pledge because their age, knowledge and skills are not up to the mark to make it that early in growth.

6. The present Indian system of administration is not based on the principles of liberty, equality and fraternity but nepotism, selfishness and irregularity. When rulers are bad, how can children be good?

7. Even if we take all Indians as brothers and sisters, they don’t accept it. How many like and accept if we address all girls and ladies as sisters and all boys and men as brothers? Most of them are egoistic.

8. There won’t be beggars, thieves, robbers, fraudsters, criminals and sinners in our nation if all treat others as sisters and brothers. Others are cheating us because we are not offering them love and care.

Conclusion

Indians do a lot at theory level only. Actually they don’t practise most of what they preach others.

K. Assumption

Honesty is the best policy. This is an internationally known proverb, taken as a virtue.

Analysis

1. No man or woman can be completely honest in what is spoken, written or done, in life or profession. Telling lies, which are not meant for cheating or hurting others, occasionally, is acceptable.

2. Satya Harischandra suffered immensely just because of being honest to the promise he made to a sage of those days. Adhering to a virtue, cent percent, in all contexts, may disturb and deface us badly.

3. Ninety nine percent of the businesses in this world are being conducted without honesty. If the other knows the actual cost or origin of a product or service, he may not find our offer interesting to buy.

4. We cannot impress others telling bitter truths about them. We can attract them highlighting the great qualities in them only. It means double standards have become a vital need in complex modern lives.

5. An investigative journalist that unearths the fraud of a billionaire may be killed. A manipulative lawyer that wins the case of a fraudster may be rewarded greatly. Honesty means death in many cases now.

6. We cannot follow one virtue in all contexts alike. We should change our words, approach and attitude as per the demands of the context. It means culture and environment often push us to shun honesty.

7. If a beautiful lie delights somebody and a naked truth hurts one, the lie is desirable. Bringing happiness into the lives of others is a virtue. We often intentionally avoid being honest, not to hurt others.

8. There is much difference between theory and practice. Proverbs are words composed by those who lived in a kind of social milieu once. We cannot follow most of them when circumstances are different. 

Conclusion

No policy is perfectly suitable for any context always. Discretion is better than blind adherence.

L. Assumption

Non-violence and peace must be the goals of all human beings, to change others positively.

Analysis

1. Non-violence is impossible for humanity. We should not kill plants, pests, bacteria and viruses also if we are non-violent. Man is essentially a parasite. He dies when he stops exploiting other creatures by him.

2. Use of abusive language is also a kind of violence. Teacher rebukes his students at school. Father warns his spoilt children at home. Spiritual masters reprimand their disciples. Violence is required often.

3. Violence seems to be the basic instinct of humanity. I beat a dog when it approaches me to bite. I kill a mosquito when it flies around me. Violence becomes necessary when we are in a testing crisis.

4. Non-violence cannot be maintained if all living around us don’t feel and do the same. We shout if others shout at us. We cry if others cry sadly. Our responses and reactions change as per the situation.

5. If soldiers, sailors and airmen kill their enemies hugely in provinces to save their motherland from invaders, the respective governments reward them. It means violence is the nature of jobs of many.

6. A tiger lives hunting and eating weaker animals in a forest. A hunter lives killing birds and animals. Violence has demonstration effect. Mostly we learn and practise it, observing it in others often.

7. Violence is desirable at times when we have to save the helpless and the poor from its effects. We cannot save a sage from a robber and a rat from a poisonous snake without resorting to violence.

8. Non-violence is perceived as helplessness by many unscrupulous idiots and cheats in this world. If we remain submissive and empathetic, they often ridicule and hurt us. Violence must be last weapon for us.

Conclusion

Non-violence is a virtue. We may not be able to follow it perfectly all the time in our lives.

Insights

1. Analysis is a psychological or mechanical procedure or process meant for finding out solutions desired by us in our lives or professions. Analysis leads us towards logic, rationality and common sense.

2. Human brains are equipped with extraordinary powers of analysis and memory but most of us do not use them optimally. We use very little part of it to lead our lives quite easily, comfortably and lazily.

3. One that accepts and approves things readily without analysing the drawbacks and merits of an assignment, operation or activity is likely to remain a fool for long and achieve nothing substantial.

4. Analysis means thinking about something from multiple standpoints. Analysis gives us good or bad results. Both alert, educate and orient us towards good decisions, goals, activities and achievements.

5. Most of the development we are seeing now around the world is a direct result of application of the cumulative intelligence, creativity and analysis of highly energetic and proactive minds for social welfare.

6. Trying to find answers to questions like what, where, why, when and how of something or somebody in a given context or contexts often leads us towards analytical thinking and application of ideas.

7. Losing emotional balance and knowingly indulging in avoidable things is a sign of lack of analysis. Achievers analyse things objectively. Ordinary ones analyse many things from their perspectives only.

8. The primary cause for much of the pain and suffering in this world is lack of analytical thinking in human beings. Talking, buying, selling, planning, finalizing things hurriedly leads us to loss and distress.

9. We can develop analytical thinking observing things and creatures around. God furnishes everything readily for us for our growth as human beings. We often ignore the excellent teachers deployed by God.

10. It is not possible for us to take every decision in life or profession through analysis. Some occasions and contexts demand us to respond or react within seconds. In such contexts, time overshadows analysis.

11. Analysis among ordinary beings may, at times, yield extraordinary results. Only intellectuals need not discuss all crucial things for others. Analysis, the very process of it, makes many intelligent and creative.

12. Analysis facilitates exchange of ideas, opinions and criticism. The best decisions emerge and results occur only when we allow all to participate in all crucial decision-making processes meant for all.

13. Most of the art forms like films, dramas, stories, novels, paintings and music are based on analysis. We enjoy them because there is logic in the fundamentals of these art forms. We don’t like fuss.

14. Brain, liver, pancreas, thyroid and spine are the best examples for analysis. They take highly important decisions based on the needs and threats of the body concerned throughout the world.

15. We admire those who analyse things more than those that summarize. We like events or phenomena that have logic and order in them. We cannot bear such things or creatures which have no order.

16. God is the best analyst in this universe. He creates, sustains and ends the lives of millions of creatures as per His cosmic plans. He provides us with that which we deserve but not what we desire randomly.

17. Those with an analytical bent of mind do not accept and be content with status quo. The growth of the USA in about 500 years into a super power is a result of their analytical thinking for decades.

18. We are able to live peacefully in this planet because everything is fitted and operated in an intelligent manner, which is result of analysis. What if trees don’t bear fruit and earth does not have water?

19. Analysis may lead to ambivalence in many contexts. When we compare and contrast multiple things, we fail to discern what is right or wrong or what is desirable or avoidable in the long run.

20. Inventions and discoveries by great personalities took place because of their analytical thinking.  One that often says “Why not?” achieves more than one that always says “It’s OK”.

21. All strategies, law and order, constitution, regulatory bodies, statutes concerned, human consumption patterns, civilization, culture and nature are formed and implemented based on analysis.

22. Those with profound analytical bent of mind cannot compromise or sacrifice much to conform to the contemporary trends and demands. They are pioneers. Others cannot understand them easily.

23. Multiple options and a variety of data are required to utilize the process of analysis and resultant constructive efforts. We need not go for analysis when options are few and goals are flexible.

24. One with the power of analysis can outperform many that got educated for years. Learning based on what others proposed and experimented is less valuable than what I did myself and learnt on my own.

25. The progress of a race or region does not depend on their material assets or geographical uniqueness but their collective ability to visualize future and being prepared accordingly from quite early in time.

26. Analysis is like a great solution to a number of problems we are facing now across the world. We could not resolve many burning issues till now because we did not analyse them deeply enough.

27. If something is beyond analysis and logic of the best minds and machines in this material world, it should be divine. He can do many things at will, which we cannot analyse even in 10 years’ time.

28. Analysis is the best yardstick to assess the value of a person or object. We should avoid bias while doing analysis. It can give us the best results only when we submit the proofs honestly and perfectly.
