Is philosophy just an armchair theory?BY: chitracs | Category: Self Improvement | Post Date: 2008-10-10
Is philosophy is just an armchair theory or in anyway useful to our day to day life. We can just relax and reap the benefits of philosophy, by following simple principles in life. First, let us learn to accept whatever comes and do the right things only in life to make life more happier. We will come more close to philosophical life by shredding our ego. The mind to accept anything and sacrifice anything is called philosophical life. We have studied that the face of Lord Rama did not change when it was told that he will be the king and afterwards, he has to leave the kingdom to his brother Bharatha and live in the forest. How philosophy can be applied in day to day life? Be a self-critique, analyse yourself, correct yourself and walk in the correct path. To err is human; so don't find fault with others, if something goes wrong. If any negative thoughts come into your mind about anything or anybody, try to get out of such thoughts from the mind and fill the mind with positive thoughts. Even if somebody does some harm to you, think about any good deed by them to you or to somebody else. By this, hatredness will ooze out from the mind. Armchair pursuit of philosophy is not at all required. Philosophy is not a dry subject. It can be practiced easily. You need not put all the blame on fate, if something goes wrong. Accept the failure and try to make it a success. You have to accept all the feelings which generates in your mind like happiness, sorrow, anger, irritation, peace, frustration etc. You need not control your thoughts. But, react to good feelings only and push the bad feelings inside the mind. If a sudden change comes in your daily life like a transfer, accept it, because it may be good for your future. If you happen to hurt anybody, knowingly or unknowingly, say -sorry- and take redressal action immediately. It does not degrade oneself to accept any wrong act; by correcting yourself, your reputation will increase. Don't develop the feelings of hatredness or taking revenge on somebody who does harm to you. Don't waste your precious time; just move away from the situation and forget it. Philosophy is the right approach with positive mental attitude. Application of philosophy in daily life: All the time you have to live in the present only. Don't think about the bad things happened in your life in the past. The day dreaming about future also will not help for the present life. Learn the lessons from the past, live in the present and make future plans. Enjoy all the fun in the life. Be happy and make others happy. Self-surrender and order of discipline is the methods of applying philosophy in daily life. Everyday while getting up say to yourselves that today is most important and that you will do all the good things in life that day. Like that, you can spend all the days. There is a famous saying -Better to light a small candle than to curse the darkness-. So, you need not expect others to do a good thing. You yourself can start it. The Bhagavat Gita says that whatever already happened is good and whatever yet to come is also good. So, always think about good things only. Real philosophical view lies in learning about moral responsibility and intentional action. You should learn to balance the emotional response and reasoning about everything. At the time of tough situation, you should see the problems, standing in the shoes of the affected person and take unbiased decision. It can be concluded that philosophy is not just an armchair theory; but can be practiced in day to day life for attaining success in all walks of life.
