Head meets the mind



I started writing somthing else, but deviated to writing this piece of dialogue between head and heart which I have managed to complete.

Happy reading!

Here is a little going back to the basics : When god created man, she ( just to ensure I don sound chauvinistic) said to him "May you have a mind, which is the most powerful thing that anyone can have. With this, you can do anything you desire. However, there is a catch to it - this mind you will have is so powerful and innocent both at the same time that it will keep doing and following things without even knowing what it is up to. It will be more than happy to be occupied all the time but will find it extremely difficult to remain idle. It is going to be impossible for you to live peacefully only with the mind. So, I am giving you a head.

This head of yours is also extremely powerful but not as powerful as your mind. Your success in life or how peaceful you live depends on how skillfully you use both. In addition to this, I will give you a body inside which I will put both these for you to experience worldly pleasures." He said this.. oops sorry she said this dropped man on planet earth.

Man fell down, got up, got fascinated by the power of mind, went about using it and experienced happiness. He pushed the mind further and found more happiness. This made him feel overjoyed. He was absolutely fascinated by the power of mind and what he could do with it. He wasn't content with what he had. So, he wanted to take away what others had too. He trained his body and mind to overpower others and get what they had too so that he had more that will make him feel happier.

The brain warned his mind "This is enough. Just because you can, you cannot exploit others. You have enough to be happy. So, leave others' things to themselves and be happy with what you have."

The mind got angry and said "Who the hell are you to tell me. You are not as powerful as I am. I will do what I want to. Stop me if you can."

"Chill...Don't get so angry. I never said I am more powerful than you. I only said, exploiting others and becoming happy in the process is very temproary and I foresee a disaster happening to you and the body that you control to you if you keep doing it." The brain completed.

"Shut up.. you powerless piece of s***. I am anyway going to do what I want to do. Better be by my side to experience happiness. If not, even the god who created you can't make you happy.. ha ha ha..." The mind roared with confidence.

The brain succumbed to the sheer power of the mind and hence could not stop it. The mind set out for a journey in a attempt to be more happy but ended up creating the opposite. Man's mind became miserable, the body weak and the spirit dull as a result of not using the mind and head in tandem per what god said.

Something went wrong somewhere.. Isn't it? Rewinding a little bit, God gave man a mind, a head and a body and explained him how to use each to live happily and dropped him on planet earth. Man fell down... "Cut......" the director of this write up shouts.. "Continue.." he continues.. after after falling down, he never actually got up! End of story...

"Excuse me Mr. Director.. This is my creation, I want to add a finishing touch." God said.

"Oops.. sorry God.. please go ahead.." The director said.

God became happy, adjusted her make up, and asked the director "Am I looking good?"
( Women will be women)

"Of course yes." The director replied.

God turned her face towards the camera and said "I told you no.. now see what you've done!"
( Even an Indian god is capable of killing the English language.. lol...)
