Thoughtful Thoughts
November 21, 2006 at 9:35 pm | In Rants | 8 CommentsThere are incidents in life which make one question the veracity of the basest of questions pertaining existence. Most of us tend to be oblivious to them, this not being attributed to any intellectual cap of the human. My belief is that these shortcomings arise from the lack of fiber to deal with issues. Yes, things are not imponderables; just that we prefer not to compound our lives by introducing more dynamic variables. Analogous to a student unwilling to learn calculus because he finds himself happy with his quadratic equations. Truly as long as he is happy nothing else should be of concern to us. Happiness is all that counts. ( Note to self- Do not digress yet again argggh…) Can that person, however prodigious he may be, advance as a mathematician if he shies away from Calculus? Ignorance may be bliss for some, but I lead such an existence that things which I wish to evade always boomerang to not just follow me, but attempt to rip me apart. So hence I try not to run away, but such are things that I cannot even run to them for I am not bold enough.
Else it would not take any initiators to push me implicitly into that queer world of thoughtful thoughts. When you look into things straight to the eyes it may not make you feel any stronger, but you will end up feeling better; for you may not have found a solution to the questions but the insight is worth it.
UPDATE: The Secret Whisperer has an excellent post, I recommend you to give it a look.

though on paper i agree with u, don’t u think it’s hard to alwayz do that? isn’t it easier to let things be, and take things as they come? i’m not disagreeing with u; it’s just a thought.

Yes but as I said these things do not leave one alone, they will keep to haunt and taunt you. When just leaving aside things is posible then yeah one can do so. But these just keep recurring. I myself find it hard to do what I wrote as reflected in the post itself, but then I am losing count of things which are easy. Anyways life has never been on any list of that sort.

Yes.Though, I for one, used to like calculus. ;)
But then we all have our own prejudices :)
[In fact the thing that used to make it interesting was the difficulty levels one can attain]

You start liking things when you know how to do it. And you always have a different answer when someone asks you what your favorite subject is..
