The Trap of Clarification: Why You Don't Owe Anyone an Explanation

Oh, so this episode is a kind of reminder about the trap of clarification. Anybody in the world who goes on defense most of the time will always be on defense and can never fight in offense effectively. So, don't always go into defense.

The power to question is true power. Basically, your right to question gives you power. The more people question, the clearer things become. But you know, when you ask questions, some people might not answer them clearly. Sometimes, they’ll just dodge or give vague answers.

Now, questioning and having the ability to question isn’t always about knowledge—it’s systematically given. Like, who has more money, who is higher in rank, or who is more educated. That’s the system we are using now. It’s like, "This guy will be the most powerful, then under him, there will be 20 people, and under them, 50 more." It’s all hierarchical.

But this doesn’t have to be systematic. If you understand it, anyone can question. Everybody has the right to question, regardless of their language, education, or background. For example, different languages use different sounds to convey the same meaning. One person might say, "Who are you?" in one way, and another in a different way, but both mean the same thing.

Because of this diversity in languages and sounds, there are words in Sanskrit or Hindi that don’t have equivalents in English. Similarly, in Chinese, there are sounds that English alphabets can’t represent, which is why they use placeholders like "X" for those sounds. Not every culture can fit into the same format or system.

The first person to answer a question like "Who are you?" will always be in defense. That’s the trap. The conversation will revolve around that person, and the questioner retains the right to keep questioning. Once you start answering, you are trapped. You say, "I’m this, I’m that," and then someone points out flaws or disagreements. They show their power by rejecting your answers, saying, "I don’t agree with this," or "This isn’t acceptable."

So don’t fall into this trap. Don’t let anyone drag you into it. These are childish games—rotten, biased games where someone’s power is assumed based on their knowledge, rank, or language. For example, just because someone speaks English as their mother tongue doesn’t make them more intelligent than someone who speaks another language. Both languages are given freely as a mother tongue, so how does one make someone superior?

This idea of knowledge is skewed. People deliberately manipulate it. They are clever and know how to play games—dividing and ruling, putting others down. Look at history: tricks were used to divide people. For example, the British played mind games, saying, "Oh, Indians, you’re almost one of us, but don’t mix with those people." Then Indians would think, "Obviously, we’re superior to others," and so on. This kind of mental division continues to this day.

If you watch the news, it’s all about planting these thoughts in people’s minds. Don’t fall for it. Even if someone asks you a question, remember, you always have the right to say no or to refuse to answer. Don’t let them trap you.

And if someone keeps babbling nonsense without giving constructive analysis, you don’t have to deal with them. Just respond with nonsense as well and move on. By doing so, you regain your power. You don’t owe anyone answers. You answer if you want to, and that’s it.

Think about it—how often do you question your doctor? Do you ask them for proof every time they prescribe medicine? No, right? You don’t say, "Show me proof that this medicine works on other patients," or "Show me live results." You trust them. So why, in other contexts, do people demand proof for everything?

These excuses and games are invented by clever people to manipulate others. Open your eyes and see the reality. Don’t fall into the trap of always answering. You don’t need to answer everyone who questions you. Why do you need to prove yourself to someone? Who gave them the right to judge you?

If someone calls you "not normal" or says you have a mental health issue, who are they to decide that? Do they have proper qualifications or certifications? If not, why listen to them?

So, in the end, silence is often the best answer. If you do choose to answer, always retain the right to withdraw your response. You don’t owe anyone a detailed explanation or justification. Remember that.

Alright, I’ll see you guys in the next episode. Bye-bye.
