Consistency


Well, we form ideas and principles for our lives-consciously or unconsciously- based on many happenings around. But many a times the ideas that we come to appreciate would be because of an overly hyped halo around those ideas. Sometimes it can also be a verbal appeal or the appreciation because of some sentimental reasons!In the process we might start living lives with ideas that might contradict one another. And at these times, we try to separate one idea from the other and try and lead a compartmentalised life which is not fulfiling in the long run.We need to have a consistency in all the ideas that we subscribe to. These ideas would be the base for all our endeavour in life. If there are contradictions in the ideas,the base will not be strong enough to support a strong edifice of life!Now why do I say that, there is a need for consistency? Consistency would actually easen the thought for us. If we have a uniform base for all the thoughts that we have, we can get at spontaneous solutions or answers for many problems, or atleast we can be sure of the approach to solve that.Also a consistent life style would embolden us to tred any path of thought because of a surity that we dont get lost easily!Any new idea that we come to accept should nicely gel with the already accepted ideas...else if we try to mimic appreciation, deep down it results in a frustration,a non acceptance and a guilt of being insincere!

As usual, very clearly putforth... :)
I agree with your point in the need to have the consistency.
But I do have a few comments. The initial ideas (or the already accepted ideas) which we subscribe to must be right! How often have we seen some strong idea to be 'right' (based on our past experiences) and then go on to learn that we were wrong... So I think, there is also a factor of 'experience' which can lead us in choosing the 'correct' idea...
watsay?
