Have you ever misspelled a word in Microsoft Word? Your word immediately get red flag. I must be back with some bizarre concept, otherwise why would I point out such a common thing? I believe if human behaviour is somewhat like a WORD document, guilt acts as the spell check functionality.
I know I know my analogies have lately degraded from Poetic to pragmatic to rather programmatic realm. But I can't help it either. Whenever a person does something wrong, a small pinch of guilt is added in the back of his mind which pops up every now and then until we do something about it. Recently I had similar experience. Just for the sake of not disclosing my revelation let me build up an abstract scenario. Long back I did something which was unforgivable. I realized it but due to other distractions in life, I neglected it. But it was looking right into my eyes, just like the gollum looks creepily from shadows towards the ring. One fine day, who I am kidding with, ok today, somebody hinted something to me which brought the guilt right in front of my eyes. There was no escape. I tried as usual to diverge my attention to other 'Important' things, but suddenly everything around me started loosing its important. When you neglect a spell check and keep on writing, a time comes when the red underline irritates you beyond your control. You finally right click on the word and replace the correct word. In real life, I am planning to do something so that I will get rid of that guilt. They say, 'Apology can mend anything'. I say, 'Apology with an action will mend everything.' I know not all the words in our document..err..our behaviour can not be clean, but then that's it. Sometimes you write something which is red flagged but you eventually add it to dictionary. What would that mean in real life, I would say, the dictionary represents your value system. You keep on modifying it over the years. So you may have noticed as you grow old, some of your beliefs change drastically. May be you have updated the dictionary. These thoughts are worth pondering upon.
I am done with blabber of a day.
