Fleetingly...

How fleeting our state of mind is... of course, sometime it might even last for some years, but when you look back, it seem moments earlier. Our emotional states they play trick on us by making us believe it will remain for ever. Love, which has had the biggest media advertising campaign ever to support it is just one example.

But often the good-ness or heroism is shown as unwillingness to change. movies for example show the hero or the good side as sticking with their ideals their whole life, show one side bathed in sun shine from beginning to end.

of course, movies also show the temporary nature of emotions, as they make us go through various states within the duration of few reels...

But maybe we humans need to be brainwashed (indoctrinated) with all this concepts which are socially approved to stick together as a group? How much indoctrinated a group need to be to stick together? Maybe more important still... how much integrity should there be in one person (personality) for that person to be normal? (Here I am using integrity as similar to an indoctrinated group). Of course, no one would like dictatorship when it comes to social situation...

But as an individual, single focus or dictator like single personality trait is often appreciated. (And a chaotic, democratic personality structure (person) would not be considered as a role model.

[I had argued that integrity as something good in an earlier blog. But of course, here context is different to some extent at least, or so I hope].

Maybe its bit too complex. but a germ of an idea, and comparison between group and individual, I feel exists somewhere up there in those words, maybe just fleetingly…
