Escapism

Those who don't want the reality and face world - facebook :)

Charity begins at home...

Define home.

If only...

Money could find its level, like the liquid does, fill in all the voids, the small 'gallis', before raising into sky scrapers...

Could we design a system for this?

Here is whats on my mind

Here is an excerpt from a very popular book on Economics and its definition on 'Efficiency' - Efficiency denotes the most effective use of society's resources in satisfying peoples wants and needs. Wants and Needs?

We consume because we can. We set the rules for all the other animate and inanimate 'things' around the globe cos we can? In this world of information overload we are just a few clicks away from being 'knowledgeable' in any topic. No big deal! The challenge comes in getting insight from that knowledge and applying it to your life, there lies the wisdom. The mankind lacks the application of insight or rather the insight all together in many 'efficient' things done around the world.

Can we not sit back, take a snapshot of what we do in a day's time and segregate our activities that meets our:

Needs vs Wants
Sustenance vs Indulgence

Can we continue with our habits and let others take control of our lives due to our conflicting thoughts and actions?

We need to go back to our roots, go back to our religion, go back to our chosen spiritual path and see if we can align our life- thought and action to whats told.

If one is neither religious nor spiritual, its ok, cos one can still think.

"The universe is sacred, You can't change it.

If you try to improve it, you will ruin it.

If you try to hold it, you will lose it."

Lao Tsu

Expressing oneself!

Well since the last blog, lots have changed. I am married, waiting for a new arrival and the lady of my life has greatly simplified my thinking and is showing me life is much more simple than what I thought it to be.

I am back to simply express myself, not necessarily to tell the world 'whats on my mind' by the passing minute and hour..

As I grow old I realize this -Silence is golden. Not a discovery. Also being knowledgeable doesn't make one a person of wisdom. Again being old (as I grow old) don't mean one is full of wisdom. I say this cos we exactly know what we need to do and what we cannot afford to continue doing, still we do what we do.

I only realize there is too much mental rattle, mind loves it! All these twitter, facebook and this new found ways of 'staying connected' are manifestation of this mental rattle. Really, do we really need to stay connected? How connected are we? Aren't we still oblivious to the people who are trying to reach us? The ones that really need us. I think.
