The Curtain.

Hello readers

Hope you all are doing great.

Bad things happen. And the human brain is especially adept at making sure that we keep track of these events. This is an adaptive mechanism important for survival.

 -David Perlmutter

Every individual in this world behaves differently in their public and private life. It is said that both have to be dealt differently to avoid conflicts, true but what exactly  triggers him/her to behave in a particular manner in that particular situation? We all are like liquids which can take the shape of any container the same way we somehow  knowingly or unknowingly adapt to the situations that get to your feet.

When we reach a specific age we start  behaving  in a different manner, we start to differentiate what should be our behaviour in our public and private life.

So when we talk about this trigger,  it comes so naturally to all and which is practically involuntary , but we behave in the particular manner in every place we  visit and throughout our life and, further adding to the amazement  not only we are mentally prepared when we visit that place, but there will be a sequence of physical changes which our bodies undergo, for instance if you are writing an exam at 10 am, the adrenaline kicks in increasing the pace of the heart and lungs for a better supply of oxygen to the brain so that we get good thoughts, so your behaviour is justified both internally as well as externally.

  

Our brain develops this art of adjusting when we are with known and unknown people, with family away from family and at work.

Behaviour as we know is most commonly called in psychology as response to external stimulus but, can this behaviour be faked by a person? We know the answer and every time a person fakes his behaviour we either frown at him or we will talk about him later saying “hmmm what a fake” our brain is very smart in judging this fake behaviour.

Actually we must all behave in the required manner at a given situation, personality or the qualities of person like judgement and decision making must be always the same and should never follow a crowd and change accordingly.

 Innocent people can actually be embittered easily by this. There could be a breach of trust by the person who is faking out his/her behaviour. This is the negative side of the behaviour of an individual. To gain something from  others usually an individual changes his or her  normal behaviour and falsify it. For example a guy who likes a particular girl at the first sight and wants her on his bed somehow at any cost. For this, the guy changes his normal behaviour and tends to flirt with the girl. In this situation there is a desperation shown by the guy for that girl. The innocent girl could fall prey for that guy.  

This type of behaviour of falsifying is seen in many other contexts also. You can get short term success in this faked behaviour but, in the long run things would take an ugly turn. 

 The task of maintaining  a similar behaviour and attitude in private and public life  is a very challenging task because it requires a lot of character and a rock stable mind . And his or her mind should be as fresh as dew.

So, there has to be a curtain between  private and public life of an individual which has to dealt with utmost care. It is left to him how true will he be to his own conscious.

Thanks for your time.

Living with hope.
