Understanding is more important than adjustment

#newdaynewchapter is a Blog narrative started on March 1, 2021 co-founded by Kishore Shintre & Sonia Bedi, to write a new chapter everyday for making "Life" and not just making a "living"
“You are only truly moral if you do it from your guts knowing it's for a good purpose”. You are only acting moral if you don't do it to make yourself feel better about yourself, but if you actually know why it is important to act that way, even if you sacrifice your happiness over it. Adjusting is not acting morally right, cause having it as a habit is not doing it cause you “feel” that it's right, there's no understanding to why you're doing it. You have to do it from your own will, not because someone told you to do it.
Otherwise you are acting from habit not because you think and know why it's right. If you do it with expectation then you're also not morally right. Others happiness > your happiness. It's the idea of being selfless and good Karma points, tho then again if you do it to get good Karma then again you are not acting morally right cause you are expecting something out from your actions again I know… it's complicated, but it makes sense.
Understanding that math problem or at least trying to understand it rather than adjusting by skipping it and answering others isn't really an ideal solution. It'll come back to bite you one day. When your in a tight position and hopelessly looking for a way to fix it , understand the gravity of it simply does the job. Understanding is key in many relationships. I can give more examples but by now you might have a clarity or confirmation over the your own previous conclusions.
Understanding is much important because you are able to have the knowledge about the behavioral attitude and follow the per the requirement. But adjusting is just modifying yourself as per the requirement, this is only a temporary requirement and changes per situations. When you don’t take the time to understand yourself and who you are, your sense of individuality weakens. You become easily influenced and pushed into a lifestyle that doesn’t represent who you are. The good news is you can gradually transition into the life you want by periodically “checking in” with yourself – the better you understand yourself, the easier it will be to steer your life in the right direction.r
Here are some key questions to get you started. Each answer will shed light on your individuality and unlock your own potential. . Are you an introvert or an extrovert? Make sure you’re really an extrovert and not an introvert in an extrovert’s clothing. What are the top five words that describe your personality? Highlight your key personality traits and stay true to who you are. Are you comfortable or uncomfortable in a disorganized environment? Define the ideal work/home environments you’re known to thrive in. Are you comfortable with taking risks? Decide how you feel about uncertainty and how you’ll use it to create your ideal lifestyle.

Do you work better alone or in a busy environment? When you know what your most productive work environment consists of, it will help you find (or create) a job that best suits your preferences. What are your strengths? Define what your strengths are and how you’re going to use them to your advantage. What are your weaknesses? Acknowledge what you struggle with and how you want to improve. What sets you apart from everyone else? Know your quirks and charm your ass off with them. Are you motivated by competition? Define what your ideal competition/collaboration formula is for optimal productivity.
What are your favorite movies/shows/books? Disregard what’s trending and define the types of movies/shows/books you’ll always enjoy. It speaks volumes of your personality. What’s more important to you – having a career or a family? Even though you’ll try to have both, we all teeter towards a favorite. Knowing this will help you decide which priority will receive a bigger piece of the pie. Humans are complex creatures. It takes a long time to understand a human being.
You need to observe the person in all situations, see what they think and you have to make sense of why they think so etc. Where better to start than with understanding yourself — the only human being that you actually are with constantly 24/7 every day of a year? The only human being whose mind you can read? It is important to understand yourself, because with that knowledge there comes understanding people in general.
Not everybody thinks the same way as you. Not everybody process emotions and different kinds of stimuli the same way as you. Nobody has the same life experiences as you. But we are all humans. You can’t understand others, if you don’t understand yourself, first.You doubted importance of understanding yourself, so why is it important to understand others? Misunderstanding is the single greatest cause of conflicts and injustice. Misunderstanding kills progress. Misunderstanding kills hopes. Misunderstanding kills people. Therefore learn to be more understanding than merely doing adjustments out of force or coercion. Cheers!

3 年Hi Kishore Shintre, thank you for sharing. Understanding is a beautiful virtue to cultivate.? It brings our minds into a state of focus and attunement.? Understanding aligns our thinking and our feeling.? It unites our hearts and minds. The more we try to understand, the more open we are to possibility.? We don’t jump to conclusions.? We use astute observation skills, we concentrate, and we resist distractions.? We see the whole picture.? As a result, we have greater insights and wonderful ideas.? People around us feel noticed, respected and heard. We go through a series of steps in learning. First we are ignorant. Ignorant is not stupid, it is not knowing something. Ignorance is overcome by knowledge. Knowledge is knowing something about something. The more you know about something the more knowledgeable you become. Knowledge becomes understanding when we figure out how to apply the knowledge in a meaningful way.
