The Philosophic Calmness
Bizarrely, the wick of my temper—which is normally highly inflammable and explosive—froze in that moment. What extinguished it was the sudden recollection of the phrase, “The Philosophic Calmness”, as described by Freeman Dyson in Disturbing the Universe. The concept lingered, and it became the guiding principle of my response.
Yet, the pain on my face — further fuelled by embarrassment at the breach of classroom decorum—demanded a response. Hence, I resolved to bathe him with the soap of positive disciplining, not as a punitive act but as a gentle deterrent, so as to curb the possibility of future relapse.

We have all travelled through that same corridor of adolescence, troubling our own parents along the way. Therefore, we must learn to view today’s youth with that same philosophic calmness—the understanding that, so long as no criminal mindset is cultivated, a certain degree of impishness is tolerable.

Why Enabling Conditions?
This process of amputating my dreams all started after I got the new placement on my return from my studies. A great deal of stuff has to be removed from my resolution basket owing to an inescapable tempest of disappointment triggered due to this dreadful posting. A series of my professional plans and activities have suffered a huge massacre, let aside the burial of my personal imaginings. In the simplest equation, it became a bedrock cause to engulf all the ‘enabling conditions’ for me to execute my plans, both professional and personal.

However, when those enabling conditions have to pass through the teeth of people on the power and greed, even the strongest fibres of the blueprint to do something either suffer from a fatal bite or croak undigested. And such abortion of plans due to those external threats is so painful and disgusting.
