The human behavior is a vast psychological concept based on various social, political & physical parameters. I am not any subject expert in this respect. But as layman, I have some unique experiences regarding this subject. Human behaviors can have both rational as well as irrational dimensions. The rational dimension is very uncommon in contemporary times. Having said that let us throw some light on irrational dimensions of human behavior. Why human beings intentionally and deliberately behave in irrational manner. The irrational behavior is taking heavy toll of physical as well as mental health of masses. The most tragic episode is that the people with irrational behaviors are unwilling to acknowledge it.

Firstly human beings have a unique tendency to devise short cut solutions in every situation. From medical treatment to traffic red lights, we are more than willing to t move extra mile in this regard. Whenever we face any health issue, first of all we consult our immediate medical store to get the treatment. When our medical problem escalates & deteriorates, then we search for expert doctors. Our respected medical shop owners do not hesitate to treat their customers to the best of their efforts in spite of knowing fully that it is not their cup of tea. There is a famous medical doctor(name withheld), who is always on toes to treat every health problem including those outside his domain & scope. He does not honestly tell his patients that it is not his subject and field taking it as an insult on his honour. We had a headmistress(name withheld) in our school days, who one day slaughtered reason & rationality. She was teaching us the subject of Mathematics. One day she was solving a numerical on the black board. The answer for that very numerical was 6,while as she arrived at 4.Now finally she was in a state of confusion and restlessness. She immediately told us to add 2 to her answer to solve this question. No one in our class had the courage to tell her that from which planet, she got this 2 borrowed. These examples should not be generalized, because everyone cannot be blamed for these episodes.
Secondly, the tragedy with irrationality is that the irrational masses are unwilling to acknowledge it with open mind. Coming to traffic light signals, you can easily gauge the magnitude of irrationality. Everyone from bureaucrats to a common man tries his level best to violate the traffic signals in broad day light. No one demonstrates rational & logical behavior. We always want to go ahead and byepass others in every respect. From bakery shop to barber shops, we always try to be irrational & smart. With absolute disrespect to others, we want to snatch turn of others, as ours time is most precious. Whenever God forbid, you will visit a hospital, you will witness majority of masses making mockery of rationality. These people will not hesitate to bribe anyone from gatekeeper to a doctor to snatch turn of others. This irrational behavior is destroying our culture, ethics and most importantly Kashmiriyat. It is systematically eroding the pristine glory of our culture and values. We have rise above our personal considerations and script a glorious chapter of peace, reconciliation and rationality. Better late than never.
