A blog entry after almost 6
years. Let’s see how far I go this time. Last time, in 2006, it was just two
posts within a month and then nothing for 6 yearsJ.
Well, I feel I have gained the discipline and sincerity over the years to
pursue my interests, it kind of comes default with age…but who knows, my intuition
has proved wrong earlier.
Ok, let me start by penning down the
reason, I think, I am taking up blogging for. We constantly evolve over time-
our perceptions, our thoughts, our needs, our wants, our likes, our dislikes, our
relations, our priorities and our surroundings change over time. A lot of our
thoughts are shaped up by the information and knowledge we have, and since, as
we grow, this information set changes, so does our thoughts and other softer
aspects.
In life, love is essential. But
to love anyone/anything other than our-self, we first have to love our-self and
before that, we must know our-self. In-fact in my opinion, if we make as set of
possible objectives for human’s life, “knowing self” would figure quite
prominently in it. To know self, it’s important to understand what defines a
person. From the top of my head, candidates can be our looks, our
relationships, our achievements, our interests, our education our thoughts and
our feelings. To the best of my understanding, our feelings are what define us,
as they inculcate the impact of all others. But, feelings are much more
abstract and difficult to capture. Also, a lot of activities, thoughts and
events can converge to the same feeling. For example, you can happy because of promotion
at work or by watching a good movie or by helping someone in need. Thoughts, which
are a lower level of abstraction than feelings, have the capability to provide this
distinction. So, a person’s thoughts are instrumental in knowing/understanding
him. Keeping this in mind, my objective of blogging is devote time to understand/analyze
my thoughts, create memory pegs for my thoughts and time-and-again, reflect on how
my particular evolution-path has been.
Cheers,
Pradeep.
