Right! We are wired to look for those two qualities in others, but we know it’s in vain.
Buddha realizes that by stop wanting, we found. Gandhi won by being after the path of non-violence. Yet, we keep slaughtering each other, hurting people and writing them off .
In business, we took calculated risks, optimal ROI and voted for the most pragmatic of minds.
But humanity can only advance by those who follow a different drum beat. The “Yes, I can” kind of people.
There is a fine line between scientists and dreamers, poets and politicians.
They imagine the possibilities, while realizing that permanence and perfection are just mirage, yet one needs to reach out still. The paradox in life is to know, then to forget that we know, and before we know it, we end up knowing the truth for the first time.
Face-to-face. Out of the gate, into the sun, and keep following it. What happened before will happen again. But this time, we are all the wiser. Still with the half glass. Full or empty? Ask first of yourself the perfection you are looking in others. No wonder we all cried the minute we are out of that maternal bubble. From then on, it’s all uncertainty and unpredictability. The guy whose name is Murphy did not invent the Law. He just articulated it better than most of us. You and I are joined by the hips, commonly bonded with Murphy and might as well acknowledge that there is no Perfection nor Permanence. On that note, I am grateful for WordPress for being there, day in and day out. Reliable, but even then, I am not sure, it will be there permanently. As to Perfection, we are reaching for it, or else, there wouldn’t be new apps and themes, new ideas and content, challenges and overcoming.
