Control v. Abnegation.

Realization for today:

Realizations at times are the only resort,
When everything else plays odd at you! :)

It is always better to have an effective control over things and situations that are part of your life, rather than to renunciate them completely. The reason is simple: Once you give up on things without having a bridle over one’s own inefficacy and urges, you tend to overindulge in those things, when you get a chance to have them again. Either you should be totally secluded from the probability of being even a hint close to it or you should have been the one who never felt prey to its captivity in first place. So, that you have never tasted it, and that makes it easier at least, provided you are resistant enough. You will never have that craving to taste it! Neither of which is exclusively possible for a normal human. So, better choose to have an effective and sustainable control over things. Like, if you ask a chain smoker to give up on cigarette completely, he might, for a while or longer. But, what then? His yearning is so loud that he will not be able to hold back, then again he is in a way or other trapped in the fen. The quagmire of his own capnomaniac self!

My own experience has made me stick to the statement that, it is better if we control our thirst; quench it drop by drop rather than turning off the source completely or overflowing it!
