About Me and Reverse Philosophy - Philosophy Turned Upside Down

Well, Reverse Philosophy defines it all, but it is always better to start fresh. I am Ashish Behera who is in the world of tyrannical preaching of good living through alternate middle path, which took me years to comprehend and understand. Like all good things in life, we guys, most of the times behave like imbiciles and I am no different. I changed over a long period of 8 years since I achieved adulthood. It was frantic experimentations with life that taught me the virtue of life itself.

So what is Reverse Philosophy? To sum it up it is a way of alternate living. Without bondages and bandages. People who read this have to be really analytical to make out the words :-). Anyhow I'll not get more cryptic. Reverse Philosophy is my way of interpreting this world which has been meandering like a river. I see things very straight so make no mistakes that I commit mistakes. But I can take lessons from life and wake up for the next morning's call to apologize in no time. Thus, Reverse Philosophy for me is to understand yourself completely first. Learn about yourself, what you are, how you are and why you are. These three questions if asked in depth will certainly open the pandoras box. I don't keep anything hidden as secrets hurt if they come out late. Thus, Ashish's Philosophy aka Reverse Philosophy is a matter of self understanding.

I have a belief that if you cannot understand youself then you can never understand people around you. It is a very good art to be a duplicate self and pretending your way of life. But does it really help. It is a good thing as it gives you instant high level of satisfaction, but it is like the firefly's light. It keeps jumping and is not consistent. Fortunately, there is an alternate middle path. The path of salvation as described by Buddha himself. But he left the philosophy to be interpreted in our own ways. I did an interpretation in my own way. And finally I came out with my own version.

I was an aggressive person, perhaps that was the reason for which I am still immensely ambitious, and same is the reason for which I went relationship-less for years. People came and went away because they felt I am too much into my ownself. Then, self realization came, and uplifted me and I was surrounded, but damn my own reservations about relationships and fear of being a stupendously fabulous fool, I kept away. Thus, loss after loss, made me really concious of what wrong I was doing. I literally turned myself upside down. From tails I flipped and became heads. Now there is a wonderful person whom I am able to keep attached to me. And she too reciprocates well.

Ego is a big word for me as I never was able to understand what ego means. I ask for sorry even if I say something right, but feel that it has hurt someone. I can be really like a tree full of fruits which lowers itself down. I can ask for sorry for people, even if they hurt me. I feel for them and have full faith that they will come to know their mistakes someday or the other. It is a method of non-violence taught by Gandhiji. He applied it for our freedom, I apply it for my happiness.

Love is the most beautiful word in the English Dictionary. It encompasses life. Life without love is a barren desert and I lived in it for many years. Make sure that you don't let away people who love you. It hurts to know that they are gone.

So I shall write more. And I'll definitely share the peculiar but astonishingly beautiful finding I have in my life recently....
