Theory of Reverse Psychology - postulated by Prof Pritesh J Rasquinha
Theory
In short Theory of Reverse Psychology says,
"When someone’s doing something right and it goes wrong do the wrong it may go
right" - P.J
OR
"For every action there is equal and opposite reaction, hence do the opposite to get the right reaction for the wrong action" - P.J
Explanation -
Long ago when Newton postulated his 3rd law of Motion and Heisenberg postulated his Uncertainty principle they were both thinking of applying their theories to human psychology more than anything, but failed to do so. But only "Theory of Reverse Psychology" makes this dream of Greats come true.
When I first heard of this theory from PJ I didn’t believe it would work in this humane world ruled by uncertainties, but it does work like his charm on all the girls.
Initially it took time for me to get a grasp on this theory but when the Master was always there with me it wasn’t so difficult in the end.
The best application of this master philosophy is when you are with a gang of friends and you goto a common place just to eat or drink but you don't have a place to sit because it's crowded. Apply reverse psychology and take your whole gang to the table with least people and join them. Now since the people already seated there have no clue why you are there and looking at the size of gang they will eventually move out.
One more stunning application of this theory is to attract the opposite sex, when you know someone's watching you instead of responding with a glare just do the reverse i.e. IGNORE, as they say "Ignorance is bliss" and this bliss will help you get the undue attention. Anyways it's very hard to apply until you rate yourself amongst the best looking people around.
The tag line for this philosophy is – “It works like axe effect minus the axe”
The actual application of this philosophy is in our daily lives. Like in the song - "Awarapan Banjarapan" which is one of my favorite songs, there is a line "kaha kisi ke
liye hai mumkin, sab ke liye ek sa hona" which is indeed so true. But if you achieve what this line says you cannot! you will reach the utmost level of inner peace I think. People around you don't expect you to be nice and true always but do the reverse of what they might think of you. Be nice and true to them always even when they are not the same with you, it isn't so difficult. This will, at some point of time bring a change in their attitude and hence the reverse effect. You'll see the hatred turn into likability and likability turn into respect in the end.
It is indeed difficult to practice what you preach, but I try.
