When Winning is not Important! ...But the cause is!

( This is my maiden attempt of writing on a topic..)

Kar-Man-ye Wa, Dhika- Raste …. Ma Fale-shu KDA-ch’an:
(Do the deed rightfully, and don’t desire the fruit.)

- Sri MAD-BAGWATGEETA

From Hitler to Mahatma, Napoleon to Mother Teresa, we have witnessed the distinctions made and recorded in our history were remarkably based on the actions of deeds or fruits of actions. Keeping these two philosophical tools, this article tries to make an insight of the development and degradation of human race over a period of time. As a telescope endeavor into the universe yet has its limitations and possibilities to explore further, the author’s effort to rotate the telescope of his knowledge and experience up to 360 degree would not be possible without the addition of fresh ideas and suggestions by the readers.

“When Winning is not important !… but the cause is” is a connotation that describes such bewildered situations in our lives where it seems impossible to judge what is more ethical in our life – winning or losing… or none of it.

An understanding is not possible to achieve without the possibility of its implementation in future. Therefore, the balance between the desire and deed is must. Extinction of any of factor all the time is not a wise act. We will discover why and why not, how and how much, what and what for, types of dilemma paralysis or inspire our intentions and motives of doing the deeds.
The most important question striving to fight back with our moral is indeed “I or we”. And I hope the answer to “when it is not about winning but the cause” lies somewhere in between these two words.
.
Let’s begin our journey to a better understanding.

Kick -Off

“One makes moan, Two sing a song…. Three Make Noise, And so on.”

First breath intake and here starts a life, a baby is just born. A Panorama of life has just begun and will last till the 'show' is ON. The prospects of new fight by a new entity dwell with a promise to bring more of it. And the more it comes the more of the proliferation of Darwin’s theory appears, which says “survival of the best fit”. It is nevertheless very important that Nature has its own role to play into yet we, humans, react in against to make things accordingly. The Significance of this natural kiosk is not omissible though.
.
To encompass the traversal of the first natural kick-off to explore and understand the world from a perspective of a baby can be compressed to a subset of 5 concurrent phases.
1. Observation
2. Attempts
3. Learn
4. Experience
5. Individuality

It might sound odd that ‘failure’ has somehow been the mother of ‘successes’. And this entitlement hasn’t yet been observed very closely by many of us. What an adrift of conscience! We are so obsessed of being unique and distinct, we overrule that success is a contemporary state of mind not the stage of the life. This is why a failure occasionally congregates several misdemeanors and thus making it a “fatal failure”.
.
“The man, who is not ready to face failure, is actually not yet ready for a success.”
.
Haven’t we observed how queer this world used to look right before we got meaning of our senses? Before this sensible sate there was an unquestioned answer of the life which is beyond the reach of winning or losing. I doubt if it would not have been somewhere close to ‘none of these two options’ possibility. Applications of common sense and knowledge are resilient in nature because they enable us before hand for the adversities or the scopes possible in a given circumstances and furthermore the optimistic approach brings certain degree of adaptability.















Observation is the primal inherited virtue of all of us and we continue to grow with it throughout our lives. The curiosity is the inseparable input that drives the observation process. It can be consciously or unconsciously motivated.
Though the radical changes occur while our knowledge area expends and curiosity begins to decline. Saturation of learning curiosity also re-assembles the opportunity to assumptions and untested truth. Hence, it leaves nothing much to improve on the case.

If we look closely, these untested truths are the most common lies upon which we all live lesser or more than anyone else. These make our life easier and teach us the meaning of comfort. The idea behind the creation of the God may be somewhat like that too. We donot intend to test the existence of god in any way. At good times and bad time we rely upon Him. Thousand of cultures around the world are following the same untested truths since thousand of years . Coming back to the micro level, the practice has cloned itself into a newer form, which we can say assumptions. These are weaker untested truths and most of the times these are of short life. Though the life of such untested truths are not very eminent but their ripple effect is very very deep and long lasting.
