Mind - So powerful yet so weak

Random yet so coherent

Discipline is a form of training to acheive moral improvement. But rules are framed by people. Conveniently twisted and twirled to accomodate loop holes for their benefit. But on the other hand, Indiscipline is doing what you want to do. Doing what that makes you happy. But we have to keep in mind that the ultimate happiness is not ephemeral. If smoking gives you happiness today, will it also give you happiness when you die young leaving your loved ones behind?. Desires of today are consequences of tommorow. But protocols and rules begets more protocol and rules. Shackles and chains can hold helium but no mind. With no doubt and fear, I say that mind controls the body and vice versa. It is like if I don't eat I get angry and When I get angry I don't eat. Just a dead end. One who can control his thoughts. words, actions is a true winner.
Hypothetically, if an ancient religion advocates the principle that it is unholy to live beyond 30 years of one's life. Can such religion thrive?. NO. God has given us the power of thinking. Even if we are brought up in a room, devoid of any humans we would still self discover most of our needs. In essence we would evolve by constant learning. Our reasoning might be incorrect but who knows that our reasoning is correct today. Ain't science one major hoax, if left unpursued makes us apes again. Even if it is a hoax we must pursue it just to reach the ultimate goal. We learn by mistakes. Is it not true that a burnt child dreads fire ?. But there is also a proverb which says "Never give up and try again". If fed into the computer the computer would go bonkers because the two statements are a contradiction. If I get burnt, and use my second premise then I am likely to get burnt again. This is the major difference between man and the machine. Man can rationally identify the differences according to the context. But same man can easily succumb to evil habits like alcohol, drugs, terrorism, rape etc. Despite having such a wonderful mind he can't control it. It is riding a wild horse. One who domesticates it is the winner.
