Markovish -- Behaviour

What I am saying is that the great traditions of yoga build a lot of patience in a person and helps him to focus his energy for the benefit of others. and by yoga i just don't mean the physical excercises which just a small part of the yoga tradition but the mental equilibirium need to lead a balanced life.

I agree with you that Yoga, Dhyan and other similar practices build a lot of patience, helps to develop a character and broaden your vision towards life, people and surroundings. The technical aspect behind all these practice is to relate your body and the vibrations of mind in a perfect synch. Lack of a perfect body-mind equilibrium results into an abnormal behaviour. This body-mind euqation is totally a reversible phenomenon and should be maintained at equilibrium as a slightest excess of any variable may lead it into any direction.

Practicing Yoga etc doesn't mean completing physical excercise only but mental devotion is an important part of it. These practices are not made for only burning out fat or gaining weight but it's all about maintaining your body and mind in equilibrium. I remember that during college days i used to be quite aggressive and loose tempered. Then i joined a Martial Arts and that brought a drastic change in my behaviour and attitude. I became more patient and easy going. That changed a lot of things in my life and my thinking.

I suppose any sports activity helps you to release the stress and make you feel comfortable. But there should be right approach and attitude. If you learn boxing to beat or kill someone then it will certainly not going to help you by any means. Similarly if you try to learn Hypnotism to lure someone with bad intentions it may lead so many abnormalities in your nature, behaviour and thinking.

Most of the people on internet and active in the forums such as we are on here , are technocrats and these are the very people who should understand the importance of reasoning. But i gues we myself are degrading ourselves by not asking enough questions , by not putting strain on our brain , by not going behind what are the causals for a particular event.
The most important reason for sucha thing i would suppose is that most come with an attitue of pastime and having fun and for relaxation, which is not always the case i believe , because there will be ome people who will always have the propensity of having food for mind. And of course differing personalities and the fundamental of uniquneness of personalities does not help either ! We are looking for soothing of mind and when we get that from a relation ( on virtual world ) , we fall for it and we are in a fantasy world , but the moment the reality starts biting you , or the moment someone tends to disagree , or tends to make you come out of sedateness of your mind , we averse the situation.
I guess we have come to terms with the fact that we are on a virtual world , but we also need to come to terms that it is not going to be always rosy as this would rather lead to arbitrage.
We should come to terms that we will have good days and bad days , others will have good days and bad days and we have to tolerate , forgive , seek help , seek forgiveness, ultimately moving into the realm of actual world.

Anil, most of the people active on internet and especially on forums, community sites just live in virtual world. Virtual world as implies is like a world of choices where we just choose what we like and for how long we like a specific pattern of life. Reasoning always take a back seat when we live by our own choices and Net provides a perfect ground for creating such a nice ideal world. Personal likes and dislikes are more important in such a world rather than right or wrong or any type moral ethics. Personal likes and dislikes seems to be based upon individual perceptions instead of practical realities and cross examinations of the facts. Nobody seems to take pain of digging out the actual truth as it requires lot of efforts and mind stress.

The other option is quite simple and straight forward, just hear from somewhere that someone is not good, make a perception about that entity, decide to like or dislike, and move ahead with the conclusion. How beautiful this world is ? No pains, No gains ( never mind ) and obviously no complain untill somehow the truth haunts you back with bitter ground realities. Net is the best things to blame without thinking about their own uncalculated and unanalyzed perceptions.

We come across Markovish behaviour from someone after these approaches. Firstly, a virtually fabricated ideal profile turned out as a bundle of lies and the entity under observation seems like a villain NOW. Secondly, a proposed and assumed bad guy emerges out as a nice person and that also lead to the Markovish behaviour ( maybe for the good ... but here we are discussing Markovish behaviour only ).

To sum up this post, any perception without cross examining and analyzing the figures and facts practically leads to a wrong approach towards person specific. When they came out of their dreamland, people seems changed and hence they behave accordingly. Totally opposite to the way they used to behave in the past and a perfect example of Markovish Behaviour.
