Mind and Festivities, Cheer and Melancholy

The following is my response to a comment / sermon on my blog post, Failure of Good Over Evil (see below):

Comment:  Like space mind is unfathomable so to rationalize every action is not possible .Traditions have evolved over the millennim's experiences and followed by millions unquestionably whether it is right or wrong similarly if one's action bring smile on some ones face that is good conversely is evil.QED (sic)

Response:  Mind, generally, in the context of human beings, means separately or collectively, heart and brain, and excludes other visceral parts and anatomical, physiological functions within the composite that we call the human body. Since the human mind, that is the brain and heart combo again, is fathomable, you must be singularly gifted or cursed with a mind which is unfathomable and therefore causes you to be deprived of the ability to ‘rationalise its every action', thus bestowing upon you a special ability to correspond to clear ecstasy or maniacal depression depending on the designated time and day of the year, not only in every part of the world that you inhabit, but with universal sameness.

The point that you missed in what I was stating here (http://rameshgandhi.blogspot.in/2016/10/failure-of-good-over-evil.html) was that mankind, while not being devoid of ability for great cheer or depth of depression, cannot manipulate that ability according to the dictates of the annual calendar, on designated days for the purpose of joy and downright misery. The 'designation' of days for cheer and days for mourning lose their meaning because they lose the spontaneity which is essential for it to be congruent with an individual's state of mind at a particular moment of a particular day or night, in a particular place on earth.

I hope this reaches you on a 'designated' day for great joy and cheer so that it does not cause you to be melancholy and does not deprive you of the day's rituals of autonomous joys. Quod Erat Demonstratum.

If the above makes sense to you, please accept my bow of gratitude. If it does not, just await another designated day for joy and happiness and await the ecstasy that will fill your life, at least during the period of that special day or night or both.
