The win-win possibilities

 Maharashtra elections are always interesting. For a number of reasons.  This time, for example, it was a question of sheer existence for all the major parties. I am sure all of them worked hard. The BJP-led coalition won with a thumping majority.

So far so good! What I find quite funny is that the losing opposition parties and their voters/well-wishers are crying, nay, rather screaming, foul. The funniest argument is the EVM or the counting machine being faulty!

Well, simultaneously, the results of  Jharkhand as well as many other constituencies in other regions  were being declared, too! How cum technical glitches, hacking, wrong counting do not matter there? Why the 'l lose, therefore, you must lose, too' shenanigans each time the other (ruling) party conclave wins?

What applies to political processes holds true in the  real, lived, daily life as well. Even if the other  people, downright viciously ganging up to  snuff out your chances consciously, even if they indulge in the 'you must lose' rhetoric, instead of creating a huge hue and cry, it is better to learn from your own possible weak spots, quietly move on, and start afresh.

No use crying hoarse against their 'you must lose' ganging up against you. It is a sheer unfortunate trap which sure saps your energy most nefariously. There ARE zillion other channels to reach your innocent goals. Then why give the villains a chance to justify themselves? 

No, this is not 'the other cheek turning' technique. Rather, it is accepting the viciousness of those who 'hate you just like that only.' It is choosing to avoid them for your own peace and balance of mind. Limited is our stay on this earth. Why waste it on useless fights?

 Instead, better to work every nano-second on our own betterment which leads to a (now-) win-(and forever)win success story! The crooked victimisers would sooner, rather than later, get the deserved punishment for sure!

Pratima@ Why fight useless battles? Instead forever prepare for greater wars which give you the ultimate victory, on your own self, and on your own terms and conditions
