Many
of us wonder why our life isn’t perfect. Why something has to go wrong anyway?
And if something has to go wrong, why is it always us? Actually, we follow
certain protocols, and the scheme made by our heavenly father is based on some rules and regulations. Let’s just say we are never in a state to guess what will happen next,
because whatever happens will surely NOT be of our best interest.
Overall, we find that there is nothing called an
absolutely flawless and state-of-the-art possibility of a "perfect" thing. If things can go bad, they will
go worse, until they end up being the worst possible. And this in short is
known as "Murphy’s Law". And people who consider that rules are meant to be broken, they
actually follow Murphy’s Law most sincerely.
When
there is a possibility of several things going wrong, the one that’ll cause the
maximum damage goes wrong first and the chaos takes place at a time we least
expect! We coin the phrase “Be positive” so often but our errands don’t seem to
be going in the positive direction. There always is at least one job that always
follows a negative path. After all it’s all about energy conservation! Too much
of a positive flow needs to be balanced by a negative element. And
ridiculously, the work that gets screwed is co-incidentally the most important
work always!
Sometimes
it might happen that we feel all our tasks are going smoothly, and life can’t
be better! But, (there’s always a ‘but’) we obviously might have overlooked
something! And it’s usually the key point, which is the prime seed of
destruction of the happening of all the other tasks. And we tend not to find it until it gets in
position to ruin the rest of the lot. Nature always sides with hidden flaws,
and we fight and strive to support campaigns that save nature, eh?
If
what I said above holds, and still we are not able to find that one small
error, it might not be present as such! What could be more pleasing! And yes,
we are actually walking into an ambush here! In the old days during the Vietnam
War, the Vietcong used to set up booby traps for the Americans, who are obsessed
with their perfectionist theories, and believe they can always win a war. These
guys finally end up blowing themselves up singing, “Over the land of the free
and the home of the brave!”
Had
all the builders built their building the way programmers code their programs,
then surely the first woodpecker that came along would have destroyed an entire
civilization! No offence intended to poor coders, but it’s all about more the
amount of brains we have, the more we tend to jumble things up. We never run
out of things that can go wrong. Thus we try to be so logical, you know! We
always come to the wrong conclusion very confidently and systematically. When
things are left their way, they tend to get from bad to worse. Entropy it is!
We plan to keep our books nice and tidy all along, but all that happens is,
there is always a layer of dust on them, however clean they are expected to be.
Finally,
we have a category of people who call themselves experts! And they really are,
as they know more and more about less and less and final end up knowing
everything about nothing and damaging things which would have remained unharmed
otherwise. It’s an interesting fact to note that when it comes to damaging
things, things always get destroyed in direct proportion to their value, and
the chance that we are the culprit also varies in the same proportion! We have
often thought about the small fact that it is always us who are spanked at home
for breaking Mum’s favorite and most expensive vase!
