We do a lot of crazy and dishonourable things. We may cheat in tests, insult people, backstab people, amongst others but we always seem to want people to agree with our actions and our thought processes behind why we committed those actions. We constantly seek validation to absolve our actions, no matter how grave they turn out to be. It is as if we always want to be justified for our actions and be in the right. What we do not seem to realise is that majority people do not agree with our thinking and our reasoning.
Our brain has this strange and humane quality called a conscience. It keeps us down to earth and emotionally attached to our actions. every action we do affects our conscience. Most actions are very very harmless and do not really affect our conscience in a big way but actions such as stealing, cursing or even arguing with elders and friends can trigger a feeling of guilt in our minds. Our conscience does not let us forget our actions and makes us repent.
Conscience could be metaphorically described as a nagging wife who nags her husband for every action he does even though it is sometimes for their benefit.
We constantly seek ways to satisfy this guilty feeling. We use words and phrases like "sorry", "I had no other choice", "it wasn't my fault" or "I didn't do it on purpose" to cover up on their actions.
There is nothing wrong in seeking validation. To me, this idea of the brain is very intriguing. However, if there is a way we can storm past ahead of seeing validation for our actions, we can definitely become better people. if we are smart, all our actions wont require validation but since we are not, let us work towards it.
