I realized that such a perception exists only when one of my friends mocked at me saying, 'What would you do if I hurt you, nothing but sit for an hour or so and generate a tangled and anonymous post on your wall, which ends up with likes and comments of like-minded people. You are never going to reveal who I am or retort directly!!!'. I was stupefied and left watching her with an open-mouth!!!!
I sat over it through the night, pondered heavily and contemplated over a cup of hot milk in the wee hours. This is not that simple!! Firstly, I do not necessarily analyze my experiences. Most of them are those that I hear from some near and dear. Secondly, even if I try to evaluate the events in my own life, I try to be objective and do so by imagining myself as a third person watching the entire thing.
I intentionally overcome the instant reaction or response to the matter, though not really but at a minimum in my mind. Then, I think and zero on to that part of the situation which has contributed the most to the damage, sadness, hurt, happiness, joy or any other emotion whatsoever it might be. So, the names of persons and whereabouts are immaterial. I think about a gentle way in which it could be handled (as a preparation for the next time!) so that the mental dialogue within me could be resolved peacefully there itself and I find a way to walk out with a smile once again.
Therefore, I neither use the social media to cover up my cowardice nor counter and respond to the real life situations using these channels as via media. I utilize them as a platform to express the mental drill that it takes to bring back my mind into a healthy state, after it has been tweaked by some strong stimulus. I have got into the bad habit of writing down this process. The blogs and Facebook have asked me, 'What is on your mind?'.......what else do I need??!!!
