Note: this post is nt a result of over studying, i sometimes apply engg to my life.

while in the car (after the paper on ma way home) stuff that should have runthrough ma head durin the paper, was runnin after it. so there were these coordinate axes that kept comin to ma head, n conversions frm one reference to another.

we all, in our lives have a coordinate system. in most cases we place ourselves at the origin, and then everything else is relative to it. this relativity is perception. jus like how changing the reference point is gonna change a whole lot of things in the problem u r tryin to solve, so is the case with life. as we change our reference, we change our perceptions towards things.

we define everything in and around us with respect to this reference (origin). imagine a coordinate system having three orthoganal axes. everything else then, friends, family, work, etc. fall all around the origin. u choose ur place in this reference system. ideally ud b placed at the origin. the distance of everything else in ur life from the reference defines ur priority levels. when we learn, evolve,adapt we are basically adjusting ourselves with respect to the origin.we displace ourselves. move closer to somethings, distance from somethings, change our priorities n perceptions. everything remains at the same place wher it began, wat changes is how we place ourselves relative to it.

lets call this point a reference point. its nice when we place ourselves at this reference point. cos then life as we see it, is a result of how we have grown to be.

sometimes though when we are so blinded by things, we change the reference,like a pseudo reference. we change it to something else (someone else!?!), we start viewing things in relation to this pseudoreference. basically u begin to look at things differently, like they were from somebody else's perspective. its nice to do it once in a while, (to knw how it is to b in somebody else's shoes), bt nt alwes.

like any mathematical problem, changing the reference point is gonna change a whole lot of things... possibly ur perception of balance changes to unbalance. u seem unsatisfied, cos ur lookin at urself, like u were somewher else(someone else), though everything else tat forms a part of ur life is still wher it was.

the point is.. i jus realised i was at this psudoreference n need to move bac.

yeah, I too contemplated on similar lines on my latest post.
Basic concepts of science are also applicable at philosophical levels.

But remember no matter where we shift the origin the shape of the curve doesnt change. It is the absolute truth and what we often seek.

its right that we r at the center of the axis ..
but do we ourselves define where the center should be????

so maybe when we realise.. its just a little too late.......!!

@roshan i guess yes.. u r the best judge fr urself.
our experience(life till now) defines the center.. we jus make a choice.. between being there n not bein ther.

Trade-off

Trade-offs. used this term a couple o times couple o places. Dint think i d b using it in lifE as such. There's always a trade-off , between what's in your hand at right now, and what u wanna hold. Between what u can do, and what u wanna do. Between ur heart and ur head. Should there be? if we are a single entity, should what we feel be different from what we live? shouldn't life be bound by one philosophy, a single thought that runs through you, and reflects in everything that you do? Should there be a trade-off between being happy and making someone happy? Shouldn't it be the same? i can't understand compromises. I cant understand giving up something for something else. There cant be something less and something more... its either something o nothing. i cant understand why we sometimes fake ourselves. or we drift to believe that we are something else. why is inactivity so elusive? What can be achieved from endless conversations tat lead nowhere, head nowhere? Why ...

smoke off yer life

Its been some time since my last post…..but I was preoccupied with other matters… Back to ma writin What is the difference between addiction n habit…if any!! The first thing that I turned to for an answer was a dictionary! In the GREAT DICTIONARY (no adjective, the dictionary I refer is itself called the GREAT DICTIONARY…nt oxford, m a bit unorthodox) i found this: ADDICTED is defined as being physically dependant on a certain thing, or, being devoted to a particular interest or activity HABIT was defined as a settled or regular tendency or practice!! This may sound drab, n my reader may wonder what I am heading to, but I have a point to make, n I hope you bear up wid me The definitions above are not complete, what about mental dependence? I come to the crux of the matter now!! SMOKING: is it an addiction or a habit? its not supposed to make u mentally dependent...but then ppl do behave lyk they r aft some tym...lyk i need a cig to think, to relieve ma tension!!...
