Two scales of Human Development: WYTYA and WYRA

Human development is usually hindered by a various number of
phenomena. One of the main reasons can be identified as ignorance; ignorance of
a human being towards human development. Often it happens that humans as social
beings ignore the self development and stress on various other factors such as
money, etc. In fact, money is ultimately or indirectly dependant on self
development.

When it comes to self development, it basically comes to measuring our own self and making some real time calculations. Basically, there are two scales, namely,
1. WYRA (what you really are)
2. WYTYA (what you think you are)

Human beings mostly assume the WYTYA to be the WYRA which
can be misleading and that brings a lot of complexity to the real life doings,
mainly failures. WYRA is a scale that measures what you really are, i.e. the
actual potentialities that a human being possesses, the ones that he/she is
aware or not aware of. WYTA is a very important scale in the human life as
ignorance of this scale can virtually kill the person in the real world. The
person can get subjected to the adverse effects of competition, etc.
WYTYA on the other hand is the scale which tells the person
what he/she thinks he/she is, i.e. the potentialities that a person has
fallaciously accepted to be his/her own. This incidence can occur as a result
of many factors, most of them accounting for miscalculations or no proper
assessments of the individual self. In simple words, when a person ignores all
the factors in life and only stresses on the wealth factor, he tends to relate
the wealth factor to other relevant factors that can bring him closer to the
wealth factor as the wealth factor is an independent factor in its own. The other
relevant factors that the individual chooses decides the WYTYA scale.

Sometimes, the person maybe illogical and put various other strengths into his
assessment to count into his potents, whereas the strength stands nowhere in
his WYRA. Now this strength again may be counted as own due to many other
factors, such as,
1. Peer Pressure.
2. Universal Applicability: This is basically when a person feels that this particular strength will be more effective in the real world in comparison with the others.
3. Unconscious Acceptability: This is when the person accepts the strength without his conscious consent, in other words, it is brought upon him by his surroundings.

WYTYA can get dangerous when a person accepts more
unacceptable strengths in opposition to his WYRA. This can be so as a person
accepting new strengths will stress more upon his acquired strengths rather than
his actual strengths n the entire WYTYA scale can go into reverse WYRA.
Hence, WYTYA scale of life is higher than WYRA when a person
accepts significant amount of strengths into his potentials, and WYRA scale of
life is higher than WYTYA when the person stresses only on his strengths rather
than accepting any new strengths.
WYTYA > WYRA = negative effects
WYTYA < WYRA = positive effects.
It may also be noted that WYTYA and WYRA scales never are
equivalent to each other. Let us conclude with the imaginary schedule given above.

Change and Improvement - A Psychological View

Change in a person is natural. Every living person is subject to change, no matter how much the person tries to stay the same. Change is influenced from many incidents occuring in the individuals life and often it comes from unconsciousness of the person. Change is part of nature and very important for development of the society.

We, as individuals, find it really easy to bring certain changes in us that can bring distraught to others, but when it comes to seeing the similar changes in them, it brings us the same feeling.
Change, all in all, is healthy for social animals. Its our duty that we accept the things that go well with us and reject the ones that don’t go as well. Rejection is simply on the matter of fact that there is something better that lies ahead, better than what we were with, or something that will improve the way we live, rather than change. This kind of change from our perspective is called improvement.

Improvement and change are poles apart in the psychological world. Improvement is something that a human being does from inside which benefits him/her and brings change from the outside which is a dependant factor; whereas change is altogether different, as change done from the interior can have good effects, but on the whole it affects the mind adversely. That leads to negative change from the outside, unlike improvement which brings positive change. This negative change from the outside can be seen in a dire perspective by the person who has a communicative exchange with the person who has undergone this negative change.
We, as social animals, need to understand this difference between negative change and positive change, brought about by their respective internal factors. It normally occurs that we ‘change’ rather than ‘improve’; no doubt, change at times can bring quick results when compared to improvement, but its adverse effects are equally as devastating when looked upon in the long-term view.

Change can also deteriorate, as a contradictory reaction. Unlike negative change brought about from internal change, this is interior change itself that can go totally wrong and cause overwhelming negativity in exterior change. Change, when not well controlled, or change when undertaken by a psychologically weak mind, can cause deterioration. When man is unable or impotent in controlling change, that is, when man has no control over his psychological self and undergoes change, the results can be devastating and the overall exterior change can drop alarmingly to take his psychology to near zero, or mostly minus zero.

The above factors can however be controlled by administration by another social being with a strong mind.
