WEARING the THONG on OUR MINDS

Thongs(g-strings) are a recent advancement in women apparel history. They give you maximum utility with minimum resources used(covers up only necessary parts). However it becomes an issue when we start wearing thongs on our minds. What I mean is that we cover our mind's real useful parts(like common sense), leaving only unnecessary components exposed for the world(no real use except for comfortable sitting). Though it is desirable to use thongs for what they are designed for, wearing an imaginary one on your mind really doesn't help much. Whenever someone talks about something that they have a pre-set notion for , I imagine a invisible thong on our mind, which do not allow us to use what we should actually be using(for existence). That part of our mind is so covered up with a cloth made up of facts we have not known, books we have not read, situations we have not experienced, industries we have not joined, religions we have not practiced, places we have not visited, opinions we have not formed, information we have not validated, experiments we have not tested,causes we have not joined,things we have not done and words we have not thought about before speaking or writing them.
And the sad part is that this cloth is so strong around our head, it takes away the ability to open up and evaluate situations for what they really are. A guy who do not know me well(no idea what I am made up of) walks up to me and says "Yaar suna hai humari company bohot saare logon ko fire kar rahi hai". I ask"Kis se suna hai?". He says"Pata nahi koi bol raha tha", and went explaining how the company we are working in is doomed and we all will loose our jobs next week. He is walking up to everybody telling'em that the company is gonna fire'em without making sure of this fact before he fu**in' speaks about it. Now you must be wondering so what??. Well I had an IJP(test for my promotion in the same company) that evening!!!

Do you know what a single sentence that we throw out in the air can do to somebody?. Anybody. Have you ever felt the power of a kind word, a wise word, a sound advice in the times when you need it most. Has your life ever changed because somebody said something that made so much fu**in sense at that time that it changed your life?. If you have then you would agree to this fact that if a kind, knowledgeable word have power than the opposite is also true. The thong of the mind is this inability to see things clearly for what they are and not what we think they are(or anybody else think they are). Most of the times we either disagree or agree to something pretty fast. Without really thinking about it. Now if you have already thought about it, tried to find about it, have in your life removed the thong from your mind while gathering knowledge about it,CONGRATULATIONS, you have done pretty well for yourself. If you check out comments on my blog there is a guy named Anuj. Now Anuj belongs to a staunch Brahmin family and had written "Towards the Serenity"(http://anujmalviya.blogspot.com/) which had inspired a blog from me "GOD of an Atheist" recently. So this Brahmin dude, used to wear a thong on his mind about Islam few years ago. But what he did was he removed it from his head, went ahead and read the entire Qur'an in an attempt to find about it.

Know this. We all wear thongs on our minds at one time or another(which is pretty okay if you are going to spend your entire life on the beach of your own sea) but it is not okay not to get rid of it ever. It is not comfortable. Not for you not for others(imagine literally wearing the same thing while going to attend a party). Do you think we'll feel comfortable doing that. So why then we keep on wearing it on our mind all the time. So next time we go talk to somebody let's get our minds free from these thongs and share some cool stuff(please don't take it literal sense)

(RESPONSIBILITY : Some of you might find this blog offensive. But it will help me in finding out how many around me wear a thong on their minds)

that's true dude and wearing a thong, but not admitting it, is called "hypocrisy" the deadliest disease of our society...

I agree, This is what that is hapening now a days. By the way, we all need to remove thong from our minds and we should change the way we see ourselves and others.
