FLIRTING WITH ONTOLOGY

The finite chasing the infinite - that is the human story
Haunted by the urge for coherence, completion and perfection.

In the beginning there exists expectations
Occasionally what follows is a nothingness
And associated anticipations and illusions.

Learning to accept nothingness as a part of reality
Is like severing a rusty old bond of trust and relation
Or leaving the ancestral home for stranger terrains
A despair, an angst, a silence and a void accompanies.

Probabilities are nothing but possibilities
Seldom appeals to the palates obsessed with clarity
When certainty is dancing nude, why phantasy !

Poets are dreamers...Rarely feels at home with what is
Do they posses insights which betrays the naked eyes
Who knows.........Better who cares........

ATTENTION, BOREDOM AND MARKET.

Inability to focalise attention results in the genesis of boredom. Attention is the inevitable prerequisite, gateway to higher order thinking skills. Thus failure to focus attention curtails down at the very outset any meaningful intellectual interaction with the surroundings, there by drawing veil over all possible opportunities. It might be this depressing scenario which is manifesting in the affective realm as boredom. Anxiety will lurk beneath as the windows to the world are in a closed situation. This anxiety may generate pain. Since any attempts at solution requires focalisation of attention, inability of which was the root cause of all the problem, a difficult to break circularity is generated. As such pain, boredom etc will be with us like a haunting shadow....so will be the market that thrives on it.

LET THERE BE A DREAM .............

Let there be a dream.....a dream of a world where survival depends not on mutual exploitation but symbiotic relationships based on empathy and compassion. Exploitation has become the hallmark of modern day living. Deep inside the foundations of every endeavors lies hidden the ugly variants of avarice and greed...age old human follies. Unfortunately intelligence which is supposed to play the rescuer is being hijacked which adds to the complexity of the problem. Critical thinking is no longer an intellectual luxury, but an inevitable survival prerequisite at least to be aware of the intricacies and undercurrents, spare being free. It is high time that we have a dream, a dream powerful enough to disturb our complacency. Let there be a dream....and we shall realize it.
