READINESS TO ACCEPT THE PRESENT LOSS

                     In legal parlance the concept of 'Damages' play a significant role conveying the idea that a Civil Court of Law could only redress a wrong occasioned to a person by awarding damages to the person who suffered the loss at the instance of another.  Infact, besides Damages, other remedies are also available in special statutes applicable to the case.  However, the general remedy of Damages is generally resorted to , the rationale of it being that a wrong done to a person is to be off-set to the extent to which money could do and this remains to be a salutory principle.                                                                                                                        .                     ' Damages' belong to yte class of remedies in relation to a loss sustained by a person.  Loss may be a present loss or a loss occasioning in future.  The present loss points out an immediate or instant loss experienced while loss in future represents that loss which may occasion later.  The present loss, being experieced is to be faced and accepted with foresight instead of facing a greater degree of loss consequent to non-acceptance based on untenable and illogical conclusions.  Many disputes or differences would best be avoided or resolved if this approach to accept the present loss is adopted.  But, in practice, this attitude of preparedness and readiness to accept the present loss is not adopted with the required wisdom that it would be worth the bargain and  at the same time prevent the relationship becoming sour and strained further and  further.                                                                                                                                              
                        Non-acceptance of the present loss, which is visible and experienced right at the moment    . would only highlight the presence of egoism, as the term ego only signifies EJECTION OF GOOD OUT of the minds of a person on account of visualing a mirage - a non-existent one.  It is, therefore, fit and proper to accept what is visibly and instantly experienced rather than face a great amount of loss and suffer to a great degree later.  Even when Damages are awarded by a Court of Law, the principle of 'compensatory' outlook is only pursued and sometimes this outlook may not provide equivalent and satisfying result in the sense in which the sufferer may desire, since much water would have flowed down under the bridge by that time  Hence, readiness to accept the present loss may be developed as a quality to be pusued.

  1. Re-read this post today and really liked the illustration of EGO as an acronym phrase. :)

    Requesting you to share more such nuggets of wisdom.
