Structural analysis of life
An article by Anup D Shirhatti dtd. 22.06.2021
There is a popular subject in civil engineering called structural analysis. What is structure, anything under sky is structure, when we apply the same principles to life. Structure becomes a human life. Every structure has components which take load in human being is single person takes many roles. He is a student, he is a son. He is a citizen, he is a husband, he is a worker, he is the leader, he is a parent or he may be a philosopher.
Although a human being is single he has many roles, a student has to earn a degree, as son or daughter he may have to obey parents, as a citizen he has to obey the law and be helpful to others, As a husband he has to run a family, as a worker he has to learn and do work, as a leader he has to solve problems, as a parent he has to create foundation of next generation, as a philosopher one has to share his wisdom.
As in structural analysis each material say concrete. Steel or wood have individual capacities in one role say compression, tension or bending but when subjected to combined loding even though the capacity of steel in tension is very high but additional load of bending may make it fail. So is in society it is quite visible that if you stress on any one role say student , your role as son may suffer and vice versa.
Each person is best judge of load he can take one can take a very high load as student but may lose the childhood, the key is balanced load on all the roles which seldom happens in Life as it is unpredictable. What is a life is but a game board of chess all the pawns and king, queen and pawn go back to same box but during game due to stress Knight has to behave like knight not as pawn and that is where lord Krishna's word comes to play do your work and don't expect results. The balanced way of life is to take each moment at its face value. There is no point in designing a building for sunami, earthquake or typhoon all at once but we have to design it in such a way that it behaves in an elastic manner and gives sufficient time to inmates to escape and save lives. The key is that many types of difficulties occur but we keep performing our roles
