It is, somehow, very necessary to learn how not to do.
Action is a necessity. Life requires actions. What do actions mean? Do they
mean only doing? No, they don't. They also mean not doing. Because not doing
also involves doing. It involves thinking. It is like confining a tiger to a
cell. We spend some energy for enabling ourselves not to do something.
Let's analyze a little more. Not doing varies from one
person to another. One thing to another too. No one will contest that. So it
may be difficult to understand what not doing means for another person. But one
thing is certain that the willingness to not do something involves not liking
something you are doing. Now, before learning not to do, we must know whether
it is worth not doing. How will we know that? You are in the best position to
decide. Of course, you must invest some logical thinking in it. Being objective
is a tough task. Nobody can stop you from trying though.
At times, confusion and dilemma may affect your
decision-making. Morality can be a mote in the mind's eye. Societal thinking
gets deep into us. Gradually, we lose our ability to exercise free will and
rational thinking. However, it is not a vicious circle. Don't believe in any
philosopher talking about an escapeless-process. Just foster the belief that
you are capable of questioning. Don't worry. You will be on the track of free
will, a trackless track.
Another factor is knowing how not doing helps you in
being happy. Add one more- how it keeps you from hurting others and occupying
others' territory. Yes, you are there. Now , you can start learning how not to do.
