Interference

Us humans have more than foibles.  We have major issues.  As a species we love to do certain things over and over again.  Those being

• Give (unsolicited) advice
• Interfere (where not needed - really when is it ever needed?)
• Gossip

You get the idea.

I thought I would expand on this interfering business.  After all the geo-political axis itself seems to be wobbling under the last six months of testimonies (wonder where all that money goes?  testy or otherwise) and special counsels and handshakes and footballs.

The idea of interfering where one would be careful to tread has been with us before even prostitution became a thing.  David interfered in the battle between the Israelis and Philistines when he could have gone on to a life of feeding goats. 

India's own Mahabharata is littered with tales of kings interfering along with their multitude of queens who were busy interfering on their own volition.  Funny thing is the entire Ramayana would not have happened if it was not for a silly desire on behalf of Dashrath to procreate.  In comes Kaikeyi in the form of wife numero dos (number two) - master of interference who along with her counsel Manthara spearheads the best known drama mankind has known.  She banishes Rama, the son of Kaushalya to a decade in the forest along with his wife.  Further some demon instead of minding his business decides to kidnap this wife of Rama and abscond to an island life.  This results in the whole Ramayana.

To this day people in India refer to a story gone wrong as 'hey ramayana zala nasta' meaning this saga would not have unfolded only if...

In India and other regions of the world all the Saanses (MILs) have been interfering in their beta and bahus (son and DILs) beeswax or sansar.  How a beta might become more alpha vs how a bahu might want to cover those bahus (arms).

Major studious pay big money to interfere in lives of film and sports personalities as they are busy beating up their spouse or getting overdosed and then sharing that gossip with us.  These interfering ones are named as paparazzi.  I am sure there are mamarazzis too but they never get any screen time.  I tell you the diversity and inclusion training is not working.   Even when HR tried interfering.

If only we could find our own zen and focus on not interfering I believe the world might find itself devoid of television.  No more poor reception due to interference.  Just no TV.
