Resignation, Indifference and Maturity

Every action has a reaction, and every reaction falls into some category of state. Well I am not trying to define the third law and neither inventing the fourth one.

But have you ever wondered that every reaction of ours actually belongs to either resignation or indifference or maturity. The question is do we actually understand it (you may ask whether there is a need of it) or try to decipher it. These three states (or a combination of these) determine your state of mind / psychology. Resignation – “acceptance” of whatever action has happened and the consequences of it as fate / part of life considering it was bound to happen. Indifference – “lack of interest / concern” can signify that you are actually not bothered about whatever is happening. Maturity – I think all of us are well aware of this.

When I discussed it with couple of people I found a common confusion about differentiating between the first two – resignation and indifference. I think major difference lies in the emotional involvement in each of the cases where in resignation the emotion depicted is more of sorrow and hopelessness whereas indifference causes aloofness. If you find this observation interesting then try analyzing your reaction (and not action) and it might help you analyze or understand your stance vis-à-vis a person / relationship or situation.
