Did you ever wonder how often you make up stories around you? Sometimes to feel good and most of the times to escape from reality. And sometimes you make them for something good. To release yourself or To get yourself again.
I just watched a splendidly movie, Kahani, starring Vidya Balan. If you are expecting me to talk about movie's story I am sorry you will be disappointed. Actually there is nothing much in the story. It is a kind of a puzzle game. But if you look beneath the story you will find the essence there.
God must have had a story in His mind before creating Adam. He must have all in His mind. About Satan's revolt, Eve's mistake, Fall from Grace and motion of the World. He is the Greatest Story Maker. Man , since he is born of God's part, has the same quality since the beginning. Story telling is among the oldest Arts. It is a human nature. Whatever we speak about, is our side of story and unknowingly we weave an intricate web of stories around us.
But what if it is about the Stories you tell to yourself rather than to others? Things become quite complicated. The Stories begin to weave you. They begin to take your place and control your whole being. And when you try to run away from them they follow you and... its a never ending game. But once you realize , which is very challenging, that they are the stories which play a vital role in taking care of your healthy social life, you create some Distance and Adjust the version of story according to your Real Life.
Such made up stories are good as long as you are at distance. They help you to reach, what you deserve. Sometimes you get emotionally attached to the Made up story. Sometimes in spite of knowing the fact it is a made-up story, you face a dilemma, you feel guilty about ditching the character of Made-up story. You feel somewhere deep inside you are in wrong.
It is like- You are intimate with a close friend in spite of knowing the fact s/he is not your Love or would be. Intimacy is 'Hell' not wrong and specially when it is not Fake. But you are convinced that it is. And so you keep feeling guilty about it.
Everything said above is also a Story. Since its not a universal truth which is same for everyone. Its an experience. You might have experienced it or not. But the truth is - sometimes you have to Anti-Condition or Condition yourself because not everything is conditioned by situations or society and whatever is, does not always reflect your personal Truth.
