paradigm shift

paradigm shift....i finally get it. life's many obscure choices sometimes bring you to a point of epiphany. there's just no escaping it then, the best thing you can do is to bow down and face up to some hard truths. truths you were chosing to pretend didnt exist. The funny thing about life is that it keeps bringing you back to the same point in your life again and f****** again... till you finally get it and are thus deemed capable of moving on to newer and better places. it sucks but its how the world works....cant really shift gears till you're truly up to speed, you'll just end up ruining the transmission otherwise.

logic and the heart........

Saturday, August 8, 2009 

Its funny how, the mind usually manages to filter through a web of emotions quite easily....yet the heart always clouds our judgement. 

Why is it that most humans...social civilised beings as we may be.....tend to forget how simplistic life could be if one approached matters of the heart logically? ......but then it wouldn't be any fun would it? 

If life were to only be a series of logical conclusions then there wouldn’t be much in it...humans as it is are an inherently romantic species; by which I mean the virtues of curiosity, angst anger, yearning, even humour for that matter. 

were we not capable of human "emotions" as we know them...we wouldn’t be much of a species to speak of...where would the arts lie?...who then, would've created the history as we know it today? 

If it wasn’t for emotion...there wouldn’t be a Hitler or Caesar or Cleopatra even.....true accompanying their hearts were some of the strongest minds of their times, a razor edge logical approach that led to fine strategising and victories. Yet, the driving force behind their intellects was their hearts....their will, their need and desire to possess that which they were seeking with their every being. 

so where does that bring us?....are we meant to find the superior of the two?...will there ever be a place where the heart and mind shall work as one?...who's to say which is the better?...while some say the heart makes us weak.....others argue that working with the mind alone can make us blind sighted, unable to notice the nuances of a situation. 

the dilemma continues and shall do so...personally I’d prefer it that way....they say the mind gives you the answers that we often don’t wish to face while the heart might make it easier to get around the truth....I am often content to reside in the denial my heart offers me at times....the mind however, knows no such mercy; yet sometimes it is better to rip the proverbial band aid off than to continue fussing over a festering wound. 

so how does one explain rationalisations?...it may be assumed that the heart is surely at play in the construction of a comfortable reality....yet wouldn’t it also be safe to assume that the mind too would be party to this process of construction in order to make it logically plausible? 

So is there really an answer to this question...or is it merely a voice of the heart that the mind shall continue to argue with? 

Ponder......while my heart makes my mind wander.....

Its strange...you sit...ponder...wonder...emptying your mind of all its trash..and yet when you least expect it...they come rushing back in. beating at you, playing out like a bad symphony. Whoever said "free you mind...and the rest will follow" obviously didnt take a tour of neha's lala land...

free your mind the rest will follow alright...right back into your head like a homing pigeon. It seems the harder you try to unthink something...the more it plays on your mind. Bee in your bonnet anyone?

soon a rhythm sets in...forgotten tasks beat away at you like a staccato while unresolved issues cry out in crescendo...random notes of flickerring thoughts play out like the abandoned notes on a half finished song....

i sit in my castle looking down at the remains of my distracted soul...smirking at the obvious joke hiding behind my grim take on the day. thruth be told its not a bad day at all...heck its been fun... its just self indulgent sulking to pretend the world is a sorry place...its not...it only looks that way because we choose to.

try hard enough and we'll find hope and salvation in just about every little thing...even the rusty skyscraper the neighbourhood crow is trying to build in my window box grill....its a symbol to me...of life moving on relentless n merciless....the trick is to hitch a ride on the fast train to happiness

but the tickets can only be bought on the station of thought free action...free you mind...the rest will follow...well someone will...its human nature.
