i look at myself, at my room, at the world around, its people, its cultures, its systems , everything. i feel disturbed. i am in bad shape, my rooms a mess, the world seems to be crazy, nothings in place, the people are bad etc etc.
i wanted to put things in order, why ? i think, and then, i think again.
order is a creation of the mind. the obsession with order is hardwired into our psyche. we like arranging things, giving ranks to people, arranged books, neat ipods, decent hair, perfect clothes.
and then, i remember robert frost !
i have two roads,
1. fight the system, struggle hard and change things. try to bring ‘order’ in the nature around you.
2. accpet stuff the way it is, see ‘order’ in nature around you.
you have been reading philosphical, unrealistic stuff all your life, so you’ll probably expect that the first option will be chosen. wrong. lets be real, life is too precious to be spent for things like these.
instead of trying to arrange things in the way you see fit and bringing about some order and sequence and saying ‘wow’ , now this feels good !
why cant u simply change your ‘ordering’ and ’sequencing’ in your head and then say ‘wow’, now this feels good !
instead of changing the world, change your mind, its lot more simpler, lot more effective. also, the mind is much closer to you than your hands.
talking about the mind; well,you see understanding the mind is something science has been struggling for quite sometime now. to me it appears weird. a mind trying to understand another.
reminds me of m.c. escher.
have a look !
