The Reverse button

We are often tempted to do things that our heart wants to do !

We often tend to remove the restriction from our heart’s demands !

We just move in the direction that supposedly is quite comfortable and alluring !

After doing all this, most of us sit and feel like having a reverse button. We wish we could just fly back in time and make our past self-understand that he needs to dive in the opposite direction. The slightest of decision, that appears silly to ponder upon, unfolds into something drastic. Every molecule that is displaced, brings with it an entire new world. I can relate this to a theory called 'The Butterfly Effect', which says 'small causes can have large effects' and this theory aptly applies to most of our lives.

Have you ever stood at a crossroad where you can choose only one way but you definitely want to explore the other option? You want to see how life would unfold in a parallel world where you would have chosen a different road.

All this alludes our minds in a way that can sometimes even damage us.

This is just a part where we want to explore the parallel world, but there are certain situations where we are so helpless that turning the pages of life for revisiting the point where we committed some mistake seems like the only option that we wish to have and that we want to avail.

But looking at this entire scenario from a different angle, will make us understand that a ‘reverse button’ is an escape for not facing our carelessness, and our wrong decisions.

Is it really what we want ?

Well, social polling shows so.

But should we not be facing our fears, our wrongdoings and our own steps ?

Won’t it help us improve and evolve at the same time ?

We all fall in love, we all get our hearts broken, we all break hearts, we all choose a wrong road, we all expect, we all want to be in our cocoons, we all take decisions based on our heart’s voice and we all want to avoid the aftereffect !!

But is avoiding the aftereffects really the solution ?

Won’t we evolve more rapidly, if we close all the doors for ourselves to run ?

We get ways to escape and we follow that way, in spite of running away we must be facing our actions. After all, our actions and their reverberations will enhance us to be a little better with each passing day.

So, let’s put on our thinking caps and view all the angles, pros and cons and the entirety of the situation. Who knows, we won’t want a reverse button and love the normal pace of our lives.

And after reflecting and considering your inner self, let us know your thoughts here http://app.sociale.co/question/1456900560539
