Law Of Averages

LAW OF AVERAGES: GETTING ON ME

Duality of existence or rather duality of character or rather duality of personalities or rather duality of one’s own self. It’s been quite some time now when people have been telling me of my dual identities. I have been very comfortable living these two lives which are a gift of my past experience but off late people seem to be inquisitive of or perplexed of these.
There are people who accept it as a normal part of every one’s existence (partner), and they think its there in everyone. So do I feel. But then there are people who think it’s weird.
Subho, who came to know of this duality aspect even did my handwriting analysis and concluded the same. I was at extremes in both of my identities. He was right to judge that I was shallow in my relationships, I wasn’t giving any depth or time in any relationship though I portrayed as if I’m keenly involved. I was amazed at his observations skill. He had been observing me for quite some time now. Then there were few others too who felt the same but then recently I was given a very new dimension in this regard.
Law Of Averages – Courtsey : Saurabh Jain.

I have come to Bangalore for my summer training. I meet Saurabh and Monica at FORUM, a mall. Saurabh has met Monica for the first time and to be frank even I don’t know Saurabh that well. Out of one of the conversations, Saurabh comes out with a weird statement. “Monica, do you openly confess that you play mind games”. MIND GAMES? Hmmm sounds too good for a person like me. With initial explanation given by Saurabh, I gave it some thought but when he explained it in detail then I asked him about myself. He comes with this theory of Law of Averages.

Law of Averages is the balancing act of life. If you have been doing all good in your life till now then you are bound to do bad as well, only to average out your karma in the end. And every person who is a sinner will do something good in his life that will average his good and bad deeds and bring his karma to average. It was hard to believe that I would be doing wrong deeds in my life to balance my karma but I did want to believe it. Not because I wanted to but because I have not done all good deeds in life. Despite this I feel I’m a good guy. I often say this to Jassi that I’m a ‘Paapi’ but then this world is a ‘Maha Paapi’. This brings me to a deadlock that whether I’m good or bad.

I think I’m a good guy for I have done lots of good deeds in life but should that make me a good guy. Does absence of bad deeds means a man is good? Somewhere deep within my conscience I feel that absence of bad is not what makes you good. Perhaps the people who think I am good want to see me as good, they perceive me as good and their belief set makes me good. At the same time there are people who think I am bad…. For them I have been always saying one thing to me and to all my friends that you cannot be good for everyone. It is you who has to make a choice in life that whether you want to live for the people who think you are good or for people who don’t mean anything to you and feel you are good for nothing. I think its better to live with those five people who think you are good rather than to live for those five hundred people who think you are bad.Make your CHOICE!!!
IT’S EASIER TO CRY FOR SOMEONE,
IT’S DIFFICULT TO SMILE WITH SOMEONE.

I’m still to see the effects of this law of averages. There is still much life to live and I’m looking forward to witness this spectacular event.

i dont feel i have dual personality. but i accept that i have behaved differently with different people. in fact we should realize it. the sooner the better. its imp. we do it both conciously and unconciously.
on law of averages: i dont think we will do bad conciously if we have done good in the past although vice-versa might be true.
in fact if i have done some good in the past this fact reinforces me to continue with it. on the other hand if i have done some wrong in past repeating it a second time won't be a big issue.

Ah...an interesting theory indeed :)If this theory is actually true and if our karma does balance out in the end, then it will be a stark contrast to the theory of a heaven n hell..
Also I feel all of us have multiple n not dual personalities..v tend to change ourself according to the surroundings n ppl.. Change is truly the only constant :)
