Now it's almost four months from my last post. Time passes so fast and I don't know how I get busy without doing anything. Organizing my time and finishing things as I plan is simply a pain, and In many occasions it doesn't work. I schedule things then something very important comes in and I reschedule everything all over again.
I wanted to update my website or post a new blog entry on every Sundays, but it didn't work. Always, something is there to puts this plan on hold. Last week, I had to do my laundry. Always something is there to put something else on hold. We do batch process. We process a very big queue of thing from the day we are born till the day we die weather we like it or not. I know, .... my dump philosophy, but I don't care, I like to look at things on a broad timespan. ERRRRRRR stop.. ok
Last week I happened to meet one of my favourite lecturers and got a chance to talk to him about a 15 minutes. We talked about all sort of things and finally he told me "You need to relax jeyaram., move things a bit slow. Think more. Do less". He's absolutely right. I start to do things immediately without thinking much. Actually, I'm scared of being late, so I start immediately which make the scenario worse. For an instance; If I want to design something, I start designing it without imaging/picturising in my mind how the end design going to be. I can take bit more time to think about it and finalize the design in my mind and put my thoughts quickly into the actual design and get it done, rather than designing it without thinking in the beginning, and get everything messed up.
Always this was the case in my life. When I start playing football, I just hit the ball the way I want, the way it's easy for me. Just hit, no matter where my team mate is or no matter where the goalpost is, just hit. Then I figured it out, always have a rough idea of where your team mates are, and take the ball, stop it, control it and pass it on to one of your team mates.
I learn things every sec. Things keep getting better and better. My mates around me helps me a lot to figure things out ; grow. I love the whole thing. As big cinema stars say, I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone behind the scene, but there is no scene here though. Some make scene, some are real; I just like the real part and just like to ignore the scene part.
I hate when people ain't real. I hate people pretend to like you. The most annoying thing in this "English" western world is, you say "Hi, hello, how are you, you all-right, I'm fine.... " whether you like the person/situation or not. As many of you know, in Tamil or in any other Asian languages we rarely say, "Please". Once I went to a swim pool and asked the entrance ticket issuing lady "Two Adult-Swim-tickets". Then she got a bit angry and she was like "Please...." and waiting for me to repeat it. Then I said again the whole thing " Two Adult-Swim-Tickets Please..", humbly. Then she was happy...
All just drama. I want to just let go of all the pointless drama and the people. I just need real people and real things all around me and Of cause, I'm real , I'm real to everyone and I offer real things, not the fake ones.
Hopefully, I will post something interesting next week. I'm gonna listen to some new good songs and sleep.
This is one of the subjects I think all the time. When I travel in the bus, when I cook my food, when I walk, when I’m in the toilet and even when I was in the Lecture hall. This is just not a word, this is a theory, this is a concept, this is very broad subject applicable to many day-to-day things in our lives, it's a philosophy and it’s even lot more to me. This is the answer to many problems in the world. Understanding this word will make us many times better, not because it’s giving us the answer to be happy, not because it solves our day-to-day problems, not because it makes us understand the things we never understood, but because of all that.
This is not only about the “Relativity” we study in our physics classes, but also about some other places where we forgot to think about it. How many of us buy a toffee in a retail shop? How many of those, who buy toffee think about toffee when it tastes good. For how many of us buying a toffee is as happy thing as buying a car or buying an aeroplane? When we have a bar of chocolate, a toffee does not matter to us. When we have a packet of chocolate and toffees, a bar of chocolate does not matter to us. When we have a motorcycle, a bicycle does not matter much. When we have a car, a motorcycle does not matter much. When we own a helicopter, a car is as cheap as a bicycle. We value things in terms of money. In other words, we relate almost everything to money. But in reality, having a bicycle is more important than having a helicopter when we need to go to our friend’s place near or to a shop next street.
What we had and what we have, the deference is the vital part of happiness. When someone really poor buys a toffee, the happiness he/she feels; when someone really rich buys a toffee, the happiness he/she feels; real deference. The poor person will enjoy the toffee most where the rich guy will feel nothing.
What we have – what we had ∝ happiness
What we have – what we had ∝ development/success
So we can’t just scale our development or success by what we have. Understanding these related things makes it easy to deal with hard times or problems. In fact, this kind of mechanical thinking on our day-to-day problems helps us reduce stress.
Relativity, in physics and in nature, helps us find the truth. If we look at an object with a naked eye, we would not know how far away it is. We may think it is 10 meters away, but it might be more than that or less than that. As we study in Kinematics, outer environment appears like moving in an opposite direction when we are in a train, although the outer environment does not. How we differentiate a three dimensional environment from a two dimensional film or computer screen, even though both of them screen as two dimensional in human eyeball’s “Fovea”? Human brain relates things and finds the truth. More related data we have, more nearer we are to the truth.
My final and third point is, recognizing the relationship between things is the best way to find the truth, solve problems and It should be the only way making Albert Einstein’s “unified field theory" or new “theory of everything” possible.
So what exactly am I suggesting?
Do not judge or define anything or anyone without considering the effect of other related things or people.
Practise to relate things/people easily.
I believe having maps of related things in our memory will help us reveal many spiritual secrets and scientific truths.
P.S: After I read this post, I realize that I have somewhat failed to materialize my thought on relativity. When I am alone and think about these things, thoughts flow naturally, but when I sit to write I loose the flow in the middle. I’ll try and do better in my next post.
