Anti-Incumbency

Anti-incumbency could turn out to be as dangerous as a free fall!! We lose sight of the consequences, send the logic on a holiday, put our intelligence to rest and allow ourselves to jump with the rage. We just keep puffing out heavily to strongly let the things not happen!!
The rationality of perceiving anything at face value, the wisdom that our education, experience and value system have given us; is pushed out of the processing mechanism. We neither care for the past nor the future and even forget to note whether the person is a dear one!! We are not prepared to realize the other half of the truth. Our brain uses anything and everything to frame a story to stick to the opposition.
Halfway through, even if we try to contemplate, the surroundings don't allow us to dig deeper; as people don't understand our background, the path we have treaded through or the dynamics of our present situation. They can't empathize with our greatest fears and insecurities that we are trying to cover up using these superfluous arguments. They add their own reasons and explanations. Nevertheless, we are ready to gulp down any 'anti'dote that might seem to ease the impact of the stupid collapse!!
Thud.....!!
The first response is denial... Nothing has happened... I am okay!!
Then we look around.... it's all because of that rascal.... we push the blame onto our opponent who has hijacked our thoughts entirely!!
And then the truth slowly dawns down... the bones are broken, body is aching, I have hurt myself and poked nails into my own eyes.... behold, the damage is permanent!!

Remember, we are not here to teach someone a lesson or settle scores,
Not even here to carry hatred in our hearts or emotionally blackmail others!!
We are definitely here to recall our learning and capabilities to make a good decision,
And acknowledge that we are part of a large system that doesn't function by our intuition!!
