I have Desires Hope, Dreams, Temptations Like every other person u come across still I am Human and I am No Different ---- I tend to make mistakes ---- Learn and still Sometime Repeat Them -----
My profile gives this explanation of me being a plain human , the usual kinds who always goes through the normal emotions of love, hatred, greed, angst, anger and jealousy. I accept that along with my strength are my weaknesses, the ones which are the offspring of these emotions. In short Flaws which come in as a part and parcel of being born as Human Being. But there was a time when I used to seriously ponder on this fact and get worried. Was I just becoming a plain nut case? I used to hallucinate on those horns growing from my head .I was getting concerned by my own mood swings. It was a big challenge to accept the fact that I am born with negatives too and I do have a right to sense all these feelings which come as a part and parcel of being plain human. An excerpt from Bible , the story of Samson and Delilah conveyed me the message I had been so looking for. Emotions are absolutely justified till kept in leash! Once you cave in to your emotions, trouble is in order.
Summarizing Samson was a major challenge for Philistines. His strength was a major fact of concern for them. They just needed that one clue to find out the way of getting across him. Delilah was that clue, the lovely woman who knew the path to his heart. She seduced him for money and the fact that in case he loses strength, he will always be by her side. His hair which carried his strength was shaved and he was imprisoned by Philistines. He was blinded and was held captive by them. Delilah realized her mistake but a bit too late. As she approached him silently for forgiveness, he forgave her, warning her to leave immediately. His hair had grown back and he planned to take the temple down with the pillars to which he was tied, killing as many Philistines as possible. He did tear it down, killing himself and Delilah alongwith many Philistines. Little did he know that she had not left and stood their silently!
This just gave me insight to the fact that Samson and Delilah were as Human as any other. While he fell for her charm and seduction, she used her powers in an erroneous manner. But there was nothing wrong about it, till they felt it that way. Things went haywire when they acted upon it. I mean who would not fall for the charm of a good looking seductress. Every normal blooded male would. In the same way which Woman would not like to be in complete control, something which she fantasizes day in and day out. But the time its starts taking shape from an intangible to tangible stuff, there is surely a cause of concern. Samson’s extreme love blinded him and once he acted upon it, he fell for deceit. Similarly Delilah’s acute anxiety and greed did not allow her to see the obvious. They were fine till they did not take a step or should say a misstep in getting what they needed. Ironically extreme love and guilt lead to their destruction.
The Emotions ,Unleashed! had the potency to suck up all that was relevant, positive and breathing.
I know that so many times my own reflections will scare me and I can never get away from being an average Human being. Yet I seem to be discovering a thin line between sensing it and proceeding with it. A little control over unleashing the power of my emotions, becaz as stated above, I would hate to be a victim of my own expressive self.
I would rather be a Lesser Mortal in my own Eyes than being the Divine in Else’s!
