Honey bee Vs Housefly

“you can’t win the war because you are not the one fighting, you can only control the ones that are fighting. And the one is not you, they are the Honey bee and Housefly”

In the midst of day, everything’s going good so far. My sales are growing and my customers are happy with what I’ve been serving. It is said that in business, you employ your logical reasoning rather than your emotional one.
For the simple reason that numbers, rather than your emotional interpretation, will clarify your existing position in the market. Numbers and emotions both are science, but at some point, they both defy their ground.
You’ll be stumped as to which way to lean at that time.

The honey bee is my logical reasoning; it is harsh, it may sting, yet it provides me with honey.
Whereas, the housefly is my emotional escape, a subliminal threat which is not danger apparently but I’m susceptible of some harm nearly.
My mind is the house I’m living in and they both live inside the house with me. They won’t leave until I do, They often break wars within and cause me damage, however they’re intangible.

“It’s a recurring war…. the war that never lifts…or rests”

Why don’t I kill them or chase them out of my house, you might question.
That isn’t how things work. You can’t get rid of all the harmful animals on the planet and keep only the good ones,

It’s an ecosystem, after all. There’s tiger where there’s a deer.

In the absence of bee, the solo existence of housefly makes no sense in our mind. If you insist it does, then you might need some medical treatment for that matter.

The pandemic has been a real turmoil to me, I have moved highs and lows, bottom and up, right and left. These warriors move along with me.
I tried to get rid of them very often, I have a hard time doing that.
But what I realized was that you can’t stop that war, but you can just let it be.

Let the bee and housefly fight and observe them….from far….very far…..try to understand what are they fighting for.

The majority of people spend their entire lives attempting to stop the war, but they have no idea why it is happening in the first place.. This is where everyone gets stucked. When you sit back and examine the cause of war from a distance, you’ll see what’s really going on, and everything will start to make sense.

Then You will control the war, not the war will control you.

Once I had read some quote from Naval Ravikant which said, “A person has two lives, the latter one starts to thrive when he realizes he has only one”
This quote stands together with my analogy of Bee and Housefly war.
Once you realize what’s going on inside, then it’s no longer a war.
It’s just an eco-system that runs your mental being just like the ecosystem that runs the earth.
There are animals, and there are more dangerous animals in the planet; there are wars among them all the time.
But that’s what it makes the planet alive.

“the recurring war is what keeping you up to life, you can’t win the war because you are not the one fighting, you can only control the ones that are fighting. And the one is not you,

they are the Honey bee and Housefly inside you……

A tale of recurring war that never ends

Now I gotta close this writing because I just got a call from a random customer.
He might be reaching to my office soon….
