Water colors and us
While in Kanpur, I used to have several discussions with Tweety and I used to try my best to quote as many and good examples. So that I could make my self as clear as I was to my self.
One of such examples I used while explaining her something is below.
Example: When we try to paint with water colors on chart paper we usually face a problem. If we try to use two different colors very close to each other then they mixes and creates a new shade. Like if you try to make a painting of a mountain with sunset then you will have to make a mountain and use green color to show grass and yellow color to make sun. Both colors will mix while painting and creates a new shade orange at the point they will mix with each other.
Problem: In our day to day life we face several problems and try to solve them by following one procedure or another. Here procedures mean a mix of mental and emotional work that results a response against a situation. While handling different problems there is a need to have a different or fresh set of procedures or a mix of thoughts and emotions.
Relation between example, problem and solution: Our emotions can be better understood with the example quoted above. As different emotions are mixed without any relation with each other then they creates different shades under different circumstances. In the example another thing that is clear is that if we use the same brush without cleanup then the real color can not be drawn on the chart, in the same way it is required to have different set of emotions and thought process for every problem that does not have relation with any other problem. Otherwise a non bias reaction or response cannot be given. That will not be fair for the people involved. Hence the solution for the problem will be invalid.
