My flawed “if this then that” approach in life.
Recently, we were working on a criterion for a notification system, which required me to compute certain conditional logics. Essentially it came down to codifying, a type of: if this then that factor output. But this made me pause and reflect if I or us we all apply similar approaches to life and living. Sure, enough I did and wasn’t proud of it on some key aspects of life.
My mindset of If I am doing good, I will definitely do good is fundamentally flawed, this only indicates lack of defined character or rather malleability in it. When I am rich, I will give to the poor is a stupid logic. It indicates that my virtues are operating on base monetary denominator. This could be played like an accordion in life, shrunk and stretched.
Virtue cannot and does not work like that. You do what you can always, that is an exemplary embodiment of empathy and virtue. And I don’t wish to subscribe to a % either because that again is no different that transaction. Helping should be guided by the heart as much as the brain. Virtue always starts at the heart. Virtue is not an overflow mechanism but a constant flow permanence, only that eventually defines your true nature. I stand corrected, rather kneel in this truth. Introspection is disturbing but also equally telling. Grateful. APTTU.
