A = B but B is not = A ???. Review on Writing Reviews on MouthShut

A= B   ….   BUT    B not= to  A

This is an equation, which most of the people will be wondering how it could be.

But once a person understand this, he is entering into a new sphere of understanding LIFE

Many of us would have come across a case in Pakistan which actually happened recently.  One actor couple – meaning a real life husband and wife, who are actors had a role to act as a husband and wife in a Pakistani film .

The story was such that it was necessary for the actor husband to say talak 3 times to actress wife in the film . And they acted well accordingly collecting the money they get for acting.  However after a few days it became a big issue in the country and the religious leaders insisted that the husband cannot live with his wife in real life as the actor husband had pronounced talak 3 times to the actress wife – though it is only for film dialogue.

Now we would like to go into this subject as a case study.

1. In a film a person A is acting as a husband.

   
   




2. the role of the husband is performed well by A

   
   




3. As needed by the story and script, A tells thru role A the word ‘ talak’ 3 times.

   
   

Now who is role A  ? For better understanding let us call it B

A is performing the role of   B.

That is  A  =  B

Now B is telling talak

But B is  A

So is it A, who is saying  talak?

No

It is role A which is B telling  talak

Meaning   though A is B, B is not A.

This is a very important point for us human beings to understand.  Its effect in the psychology of us Human beings is something too much to explain(for an ordinary person like me) - but if understood, its effect is great.

Some one is asking you

“Who are you? “

You reply   “ I am pairam”

“ who is pairam”

“Son of mr whyram”

“ but who is why ram?”

“Don’t u know? Husband of mrs Zee ram, father of mr Xram, general manager of Vramco, boss of  so and so, ….”

Now you can give all such relationship to identify mr pairam

Means “pairam “  is  son of so and so, father of so and so, husband of so and so, employer to so and so, employee of so and so, friend of so and so, enemy of so and so, member of so and so group, secretary of so and so association, …it can go on and on

And look at this.

At any moment  A is performing one action, ( in other words – playing one role) and in another moment, plays another role.  While talking to his mother he talks as son and within fraction of a second, he also replies to his employer as and employee and to his daughter as a father etc…It does not take any time to respond to the changing roles.

Meaning, in real terms   A is a person who is acting –repeat- ACTING   continuously – performing the different  roles .

So     A  =   B     but   B  is  not= to  A

Is this not interesting?

There is more to it

If interested read the next part

To look at this interesting  situation, let us go a little more deeper.

Let us say that in the process of our work, there is some difference of opinion and we get upset over that.  We feel let down and then we say we have no mood.  So and so caused all the problems to me and I am very sad or hurt because of that.

What is happening?

For a moment I forget that my role which caused this problem was limited only to that role, but then I spread the effect of that situation to all other roles…

Else is there any justification in saying that I am in no mood?  Is there any meaning in saying I am sad or hurt?

Since for me to be sad or hurt, I need to be sad in all the roles that I perform, I need to get hurt from every role that I perform

Otherwise I get hurt or sad only by a small fraction and that should not or will not have any impact on my other roles.

If we start working on this, contemplating on this, then we sure are  to come out of  such sadness, feeling of hurt and guilt   due to omissions and commissions performed by the roles.

I will be greatful if some sort of discussion takes place on this which might be bringing in more interesting points and that may help most of us
