Read the passage carefully and select the best answer to each question out of the given four alternatives.Transactional Analysis has the triangle of PAC. P means parent, A means adult, C means child. These are your three layers, as if you are a three-storeyed building.The first floor is that of the child, the second floor is that of the parent, the third floor is that of the adult. All three exist together. This is your inner triangle andconflict. Your child says one thing, your parent says something else, and your adult, rational mind says something else. The child says ‘enjoy’. For the child, thismoment is the only moment; he has no other considerations. The child is spontaneous, but unaware of the consequences — unaware of past, unaware of future. Helives in the moment. He enjoys — but his enjoyment is not creative, cannot be creative. He delights — but life cannot be lived only through delight.You cannot remain a child forever. You will have to learn many things because you are not alone here....The child has to be disciplined — and that’s where theparent comes in. The parental voice in you is the voice of the society, culture, civilization; the voice that makes you capable of living in a world where you are notalone —where there are many individuals with conflicting ambitions, where there is much struggle for survival, where there is much conflict. The parental voice isthat of caution. It makes you civilized. The word ‘civil’ is good. It means one who has become capable of living in a city, who has become capable of being a memberof a group, of a society. It is needed. And then there is the third voice within you, the third layer, when you have become adult and you are no longer controlled byyour parents; your own reason has come of age, you can think on your own. And these three layers are continuously fighting. The child says one thing, the parentsays just the opposite, and the reason may say something totally different. There is no necessity that your adult mind agrees with your parents.Many times you find them very dogmatic, superstitious, believing in foolish things, irrational ideologies. Your parent says do it, your adult says it is not worth doing,and your child goes on pulling you somewhere else. This is the triangle within you.What happens when you become an adult?1). Being a n adult gives us a vision and a mission.2).Being an adult we are no longer controlled by our parents.3). Being an adult the child inside you gets lost somewhere4). Being an adult gives you strength to fight against all odds. |
