ANOTHER DAY 2

LIFE IS A GAME OF CONNECT THE DOTS, IF YOU DON'T CONNECT ALL THE DOTS OR DON'T CONNECT THEM IN THE RIGHT ORDER YOU NEVER GET THE PICTURE ANOTHER DAY 2 May be you knew, maybe you did not, " thing in itself" is commonly attributed to Emmanuel Kant, but as in the movie "Silence of the Lambs", Hannibal Lechter, Speaking to Clarice Starling correctly quotes Marcus Aurelius, so much for the "thing in itself". Consider light, I light really a thing? Yes we can measure it, we know its speed, we know how bright, but can we actually put light in a can or a box and carry it around? Then how is it a thing? We imagine it to be so? A rock has a potential to destroy a home, a truck, even a bunch of homes, but things have to be right, same is true of us humans, we are potentially everything, good, bad, indifferent and everything else, but things have to be "right", so is a rock the same as a person? What is then the "thing in itself" who are we? Do we know? How can you or I define a person, when the person himself has no idea? If you were to write your own true story, with every true detail, with every true motivation, you too will probably disown you, you too will probably not know yourself. We live by impulses, by the urge to try to fit in, to please someone, to please ourselves in the moment, so what are we? What do we become, what becomes of us? Our political ideology, our preferences and our prejudices, our faith our religion, our relationships, our regrets, all depend upon something external, we are different only in as much as we claim to be different when we are not at all. We claim to know ourselves when we are complete strangers to ourselves, we know the least about who we really are. I WILL WRITE MORE SOON M. N. R. 14 OCTOBER 2022
