INHIBITION VS. EXHIBITION
*****************************
Some clues over Personality.
Personality is the sum total of your habit expressed in a social situation. Closed behaviour is an inhibited state of behavour where behaviour hide in a shelter of mental frame work.
We cannot express and exhibit everything in a living world because the world is alive even at night. Hence we have found a shelter for our ambition and spirit. And this shelter is the shelter of culture. Yes. we are always within this circle of sophisticated culture. This culture is rich with social norms beyond which we cannot go. This network of social norms decides our state of inhibition. Higher the inhibition higher is the degree of frustration. In principle, even dressing is inhibition because culture is a man-made social covering. Why this social covering and how this covering is arbitrary. From his very origin Man is philosophical blessed with great degree of intelligence. For him freedom is the interpretation of philosophy because on this road of philosophy his journey proceeds. This philosophy is on the way to ''development'' He claims. Of course we have technical and scientific achievements which we believe marvelous. In spite of this great achievements where we stand is a question which is not yet answered properly.
Degree of freedom decides your degree of gratification and enthusiasm. State of freedom opens your mind to a state of imagination and colourfull dream. What stands in the way of freedom is inhibition. Hiding within you is the real state of inhibition. Don't try to hide within you because you are a social being, part and parcel of the nature and the society. Hence you are to make visible to the open society. You are not a private animal. Nothing is private in the nature. This is an eternal truth. Private feeling is the feeling of fear and frustration. It is unfortunate that the whole world is hiding behind weapons not just in technical sense but also in pseudo ethics.
Express yourself as far as possible by words and action.. by your behaviour.. Inhibited life is a life of cowards..Inhibition and Exhibition may otherwise be learned as introversion and extroversion which has close relation with this concept. Fighting for right has a vast history of mankind and it will never end. Almost all philosophies talk about human rights and now there are human right protection authorities also. .The scope of right is legally defined and how this legality tally with human instinct is a big psychological question.
Man , especially women has a tendency to exhibit himself/herself in a pseudo style. His/her body language has expressions of sexuality and otherwise. The shape of breast , the shape of buttock, is exhibited to temptate seeking appreciation from outside. The question is whether it is wrong to exhibit your body style. When women wear pharda they are totally inhibited. Why the whole body is covered is not yet well answered. Your body is a blessing. When the mind got sexually dominated we feel ourself shy because sexuality is an agenda of cultural management. Man especially women thinks that he/she is essentially a sexual animal. But sexuality is not a positive cultural concept.
Expression just cannot mean expression of body alone. It means expression of ideas, vision, ambition, expectations etc. derived out of your instinct. Vision, if buried in your inner way the very concept of social life is ruined. Personality can not go anti natural. Instead, it goes in harmony with nature. The immense conflict between your personality and the natural instinct is to be solved in a positive way. Life paradigm is acquired. How this paradigm lives within your body is a question to be raised frequently. An idea has a body instinct which we may call psycho-somatic. Hence,free your body from all types of unwanted bindings.
