God of our own character!
In
ancient Greece, Athens produced intellectuals, philosophers, academician on the
other hand Sparta produced warriors and war lords. Parents sent their children
to Athens to make them academicians on the other hand children took tricks of
war in Sparta as per the wishes of their parents. War lords such as Alexander the
great etc and philosophers such as Aristotle and Plato etc are the products of
these two cities. Teachers of respective faculties nursed and imparted them
specific attributes which enabled them not only enlightened themselves but
spread the knowledge of wisdom, shown the exemplary of courage and bravery.
Hence it is not incongruous to say that these centers were the school of character foundation.
A
character is distinguished by the attributes one possesses but this is also the
fact that childhood is not only the best
age of formation or say foundation of any specific attributes but this is
process one gets it the way one moves in ones life. Goeth said “ Character develops itself in the
stream of life’
System
of nature has created various character such as son, daughter, father , mother,
uncle, doctor, Engineer , politicians etcetera in order to perform on the stage
ie world but the real character which
creates environment pleasant, worth living or hell is the attributes, traits which each and every
characters on the stage possess. We often hear people using the words egoist,
arrogant, humble, honest, soft spoken, genial etcetera these all traits we
somewhat inherit by birth but we also develop these through ‘ stream of life as
Goeth said. The way masons build our houses brick by brick
similarly with the passage of time we develop traits, habits in ourselves. The
more we work on our character, the way we want to nourish ourselves we find the results in form of our acts and this very acts give
us name of , Good Character, Bad Character etcetera. Our attributes, traits influence on whatever the
steps we take in our day today basis. American Chef and Author Anthony Bourdain said “ The way we make the omelet
reveals our character’
System
of nature made the stage and in order to
create drama, suspense, joy and sorrow they unleashed various traits in water,
soil, air since human beings are made of such elements although traits which are concealed in such elements are
invisible but oozed out when a human being plays the role on stage. One side
system of nature imparts traits of geniality, humbleness in some one, on the
other hand immediately meticulously allocate rude and rough attributes for
another since only then true taste of drama can be enjoyed on the stage by the audience
who have to also play the role of different characters on different stage at
different point of time.
System
of nature is also very generous it also imparts
immense power to performers to choose
the character one wants to play on stage. Now the scuffle begins in pursuit of
getting the best role, dominating role in stage. Thus we fight for the role, system of nature enjoys
this fighting sometimes it bows down before the aspirants who although don’t deserve
for enjoying the trait but it happens since
stage needs twist, suspense, Comedy. Nature let loose the condition, violate
its own norm while distributing the traits. When these same characters play their role audience are coerced
to laugh, they enjoy their traits, characters on stage, make the environment pleasant
on the other hand when other characters who differ their roles role decide to malign,
assassinate those character, scene gets morose, gloomy. Some challenge the
system of nature and become system in themselves. ))
We
should not deviate from the belief that we are god of our own character. The
way we want to be we are able to become provided that we should have guts to
scuffle, courage to challenge the system we live in.
We
should concentrate on our attitude, on our mental state as it shapes our
character . We should not deviate from the straight path which creates peace, harmony,
since some in our surrounding always try
to weaken your mental state. Some want to assassinate your character through
various ways, some of us cope up the conspiracy some fall prey to it since such
elements challenged the system of nature and became themselves a system. Albert
Ainstain said “ Weakness of attitude becomes weakness of character’ One has
rightly said that at point of time situation dictates your mental state and
even after your great endeavor you fail to survive since situation is controlled
by those elements who snatches power from nature to exploit those who are left
underprivileged by the circumstances.
In
brief, this tug of war among the characters will remain continue till the stage is
alive but here there is need to give a little space in our house of thought what Billy
graham said “ When wealth is lost, nothing is lost when health is lost,
something is lost, when character is lost, all is lost’
