Fighting Perception

Yesterday I had attended a lecture by a 69r old veteran of Sales & Marketing-Mr Jayant Ghosh.Mr. Ghosh quoted a great Marketing Guru ,John Strut- "Perception is reality,everything else is illusion."Today while reading the blog of swapnil (http://antarayan.blogspot.com) It strike me that the perception of being Bihari as Bad has become reality.The same message vapours out from many other fellow bloggers ,like Aashutosh .It has evolved 'God-knows-how ' but It has became as cruel as a reality.If we Bihari can change the perception we can change the reality too.The perception is domineering and Sometimes some of our mates from our state succumb to this overpowering stigma and react in a silly way .I think every person should either act or pro-act something,rather anything. Whatever done in answer to some act i.e. reactively,becomes a source of public ignominy.Anything reactive has a propencity towards hatred and hatred breeds hatred and caluminates in violence which conforms to the perception,The unforgiving perception of we being unruly,unsophisticated.

If we fight something we become it.The oneness with the enemy-It is the epitom of struggle.When you really start thinking about your enemy you become just like him.In ,"The Rise of the Evil", the movie based on the life of Hitler -the protoganist who had waged the war aginst Hitler through press during his salad days, had started behaving like Hitler.So fighting a perception is an useless proposition.In Judo the fighter never defends a strike ...he evades it.That's the art we Biharis need to learn from Japanese martial art."A wednesday" gives us the same message in different format-We need to stop returning the "Dhakka"(Push) to each other.It has to end somewhere...
