As far as i see it, their are two main reasons someone would start a blog, the first, and more practical, is to inform friends/family/anyone reading of the status of some person, organization, or event. The second would be to make a greater effort (greater at least than simple word of mouth) to pass on to others some wisdom or view on the world. you've already seen me write the former, no i figure its time for a little of the latter.
first of all, let me preface this by stateing two things:
-first, i, as any of you to whom i have ever discussed matters of such know all to well, am an avid believer of subjective universes. that is, the thought that their is no such thing as a universal truth, and that truth (and everything else for that matter) is a far more personal reality.
on a simple level, your favorite ice cream flavor and my favorite are not the same, but we both think that they are the best ones. to you pistachio is the best tasting ice cream in the world, to me, the obvious truth is that rocky road is supreme. we are both right, cause we both believe fully that something is the truth, and yet there are two answers to what is the best ice cream.
on a more complicated level, the reality around you that you take in and interpret isnt necessarily the same as the one i do. your physics may not apply the same was as the ones by which i see the world, blah blah blah, so on and so forth.
-second, and probably the point that invalidates this whole 'rant' to be, is that i feel that wisdom, and things of the like, can not simply be told to you and understood. you must associate with, live, and learn things before they have true meaning to you.
your mother tells you not to touch the stove when you are little, but you dont truly know what it is to be burnt by it till you do touch it.
Hinduism tells you that everything in the universe is one, but you dont truly KNOW this until you listen to the world around you and feel the connection personally (less definable than the stove analogy, forgive me)
hmm, you know, in defining those to thoughts, i have forgotten what my original point was, but no worries, i think that this lays a good base line for anything to come further from my mind.
till next time.
