Pearl of Wisdom #398

If you have a problem with everyone and everything that is around you

It is you

Sunday, August 4, 2013

It is your perspective


That which is perfect
Appears to you
As that which needs to be bettered
Just change the way you look at it
It is perfect, your vision is not

Summer and childhood

The smell of mangoes
A starry night
A sister's hugs
Branches bending low with fiery red flowers

Cities and people

Don't dismiss people because they are not cool or funny or stylish or hip. Dig deeper and you will find something surprising and interesting there. But don't try to find a way to measure the depth of a person and give him a yardstick to measure up to. That doesn't work either.
Just as with a person, a city needs to be understood a little. No digging deeper, no scrutiny is needed really. You just need to be a bit interested, walk around a bit and just allow the city to give up its secrets. Enough interest and patience from you and cities or people will throw so much character at you, you won't believe it.

Live your life

Live your life. Find your destiny and fulfill it.
Don't try to fill in blanks in another's definition for you, of you.
Weakness is not the inability to do something. Weakness is when you try to point out reasons for why you are or were bound to fail.

Don't argue with strangers

I had an argument today
A long and tense one
It was with a stranger 
I've never met and never will
I had a lot to say
And when I was done
Intelligence endangered
And the result worthless babble

Avoid internet arguments

Perceptions

Perceptions differ
From one man to another
Intentions/ tensions

Do both

Talk
And the mind shall think
Deepen its reaches
Listen
And the mind shall have
Something to reach into
One without the other
Is knowledge without depth
Or vast meaningless emptiness

Let go

Breathe deep and let go
Monsters are just dust bunnies
That grow in your head

Just right

Stop, I said
Don't fill it up

The glass is half empty
Just as I want it
Or half full if you like
Better than nothing at all
Much better than too much

Beholder's eye

Did man evolve to appreciate and enjoy nature and its beauty or does nature constantly arrange itself to appeal to the eyes of human beings?

People? Pigeons?

How lonely you can be in a crowd
When they are pushing, jostling, shoving, yelling, cursing
When they are everywhere
Trying to go somewhere, ending up nowhere
Like a pigeon - fluttering its wings, not knowing where to go

How alive can you feel
When they leave traces of their existence everywhere
Just traces of existence
Nothing more than that
Like a pigeon - "trapped" in a room though its doors are open

The poor chap made into my workplace today and could not find his way out, in spite of our efforts to shoo him out through our various windows and large door.
"He", if He really is there, has a twisted, convoluted sense of humour. Nevertheless I had a laugh, thanks.

How to make the world a better place?

Just introduce to every human, ultimate joy, by showing him the results of his productivity. Not grades. Not monetary benefits. But actual results. Show him the houses where the tiles polished by the machine he built are laid, show him the people who enjoy the food that he helped grow and produce. And that, my good people, will make every man better, happier and healthier.

What's with your language

Vowels go into the dustbin. Spellings get kicked out the back door
You play with the capslock button like you did with the neighbour's door bell
The question mark gets your concern. You don't want it to be lonely
So you put a dozen of them together.
To make it more jolly add a couple of exclamations. Weave a string or a garland with them
Invent abbreviations as you go. Or maybe create expansions for meaningless strings of consonants.
Originality? Or a mask to cover the lack of it.
Laziness? Then why write at all!

Language was invented to communicate, not to flabbergast people and leave them frustrated enough to write out rants like these.

Which is the greater crime?

Knowing that you know and can do but still not doing a thing?

or

Not knowing that you can't and still being sure of yourself.

I see both kind of people around me. Getting irked.

25+56+79

Do you ever add more than 2 numbers at a time? I think that however fast you may add many numbers together, finally if you sequence your operations you may see that you ended up doing an addition of only 2 numbers at a time. Can our brain only handle so much at an instant,( how ever fleeting it may be)?

Pearl of wisdom #192

"If you don't know where you're going any road will take you there"

But if you do know where you are going...

... any road will still take you there.

Keep at it.
