the greatest stir fry of life?

meaning things that you just simply know are out of your control, at times.

& how do you go about coping with their impact.

what level of philosophical abstraction is required to take on hard and tough facts of life?

share if you like.

Dush, I just love the use of the term stir fry!

Hmm, I guess in the end, all it takes is a conscious and serious decision...no?

This sounds very much like some coversations in my working environment. We need to at times cater for managing risks.

So a brief risk discussion:

What we do is:

1) Identify if there is a risk
2) Then we analyse it's likelihood
3) Then it's severity
4) Then it's impact
5) Then we decide what type of mitigation method to undertake accordingly

Mitigation methods are:

Defer risk
Manage risk
Take risk

Managing risk has subtypes:

1) Reducing the risk by altering the conditions
2) Avoiding the risk by changing the approach
3) Removing the risk by introducing an action designed to cancel the risk effects
4) Overcoming the risk by monitoring with careful checks and balances

Most of the time however, if things are out of our control then we should prepare to take the risk. Likelihood of it will probably keep us sane. Luckily very drastic things do not occur all of the time. Again if we then analyse what consequence will lead to us taking the risk, the worst possible case needs to be looked for and then layers of protection put in place to throw the cascading effects of the risk become 'issue' off the place where it could do real or permanent harm.

For me I find once a mistake has been made I guess it has been made ... but clearing up the mess afterwards presents the real stir fry. It is not the incident in itself, rather it is a chain reaction such incidents cause.

hi Niksik,

yes absolutely it does. and the factors that make a person wiser show that. a load of hard life experiences and so on.

the stir fry is that mix of personal or non-personal causes that lead people to become stressed out and failure.

it does take a conscious decision but at times not all people are able to make conscious decisions. and its only after wards that they realize how wrong they have been.
best redeemer is an ability to own up to one's unfairness. and go back to set things right. and in case of unfairness caused by others, one must not let that happen again, take a vow to not let mistakes of other people ruin lives, again by intervening and preventing unfairness from happening.

best,
Dushwari

Re: what is to you...

it depends on how far those hard or tough facts of life impact ones' own life that shapes the way we react to or deal with situations .

Re: what is to you...

could it be hard issues and their equally hard decisions?
but then the strife is all the same, in many ways. sometimes delays, at other times, haste.

sometimes, lies and other times, bitter truths. what to over look and what to forego??

is that not a stir fry?
& at that, it is constant!

the best heal is turning to Almighty.
& always living by one's scruples and morals.
any thoughts?
