PHILOSOPHY OF PAINPHILOSOPHY OF PAIN
“With my beloved I play the game of love.
If I win, he is mine.
If I lose, I am his.”
– Amir Khusrau
“people always talk about the investment of emotions.” he said and looked at me for a response so that he can continue with his newly introduced topic.
“Yes they do, indeed” I said with my greatest affirmative gesture.
“So how do they do that?” he wasn’t curious at all when he asked that. He just want me to expose my business secrets! Played well.
“Basically or primitively homo sapiens are selfish. They haven’t given even a bone of freshly hunted buffalo to someone for free. They have always attached a condition along with it. It can be anything. A gesture of sisterhood that can be useful in the future when your tribe is attacked by a wildfire, another tribe or famine. We don’t do anything to anyone for free. Even philanthropists do it for their worshiped kindness; or for their own mental satisfaction. See nobody can stay away from the selfishness. That’s something deeply scribbled in our DNA.” I stopped.
“so?”
“Love is an act of supreme selfishness. Nobody was selfless in love – alive or dead. Everyone has a well established plan in love. They are simply executing it when day passes. It’s like a war. You are entering in to the forefront with a bunch of tactics. You know there will be bloodshed. And you are there to protect yourself from the attack. See, nobody wants to be hurt in this battle. Or you can be less hurt than the other party. The less you hurt the more you win, like any other war.”
“But the structure has significantly changed over the years”
“Yes it did. The war became business in the modern world. But the primitive principle remains as the same – less investment, less lose. the person with rickety tactics will fail for sure. It’s a game of emotions. If you want to pull off, you need to give your best shot when the situation demands, like buying or selling a stock in the stock market. It is all about the timing.”
“But still we are the people who invested more, always”
“Rickety tactics! Knowledge will not save you. If it does, I would have been a millionaire who play with profit.”
“Equal investment would work” He said bluntly.
“In love – the problem is – you will never know that your business is no longer your business. Sometimes the other party buys everything from you at least a one percentage of share just to make you unequal at the end. But you will never know until you hit a rock bottom.”
“Everyone needs profit” He was disappointed by the capitalist model of love economy.
“No. When you love someone, you know from somewhere that this person can cause pain too. We are afraid of abysmal pain. That is the reason of our infidelity. So people choose less pain. Pain has always played a minimalistic philosophy- less is more; and unbearable.”
“Less pain it is”
“Less pain and no gain it is”
“I would love to live with a collapsed business empire then”
“Like every overrated love story?”
“Like every overrated love story” he echoed, and turned to me “what will you say to your business partner next time?”
“With my beloved I play the game of love. If I win, he is mine. If I lose, I am his.” Amir Khusrau answered his question.
“Fair game!”
“Fair game it is” I echoed and we chuckled!
