Hi Grownups,
I am not sure, how your childhood was. But my childhood especially around 8-10 was filled with warm-hearted ladies, trying to make food for me out of love, hugging, cuddling, singing songs in the raw (shamelessly and with all heart) voice. These ladies were my neighbor aunties, our servent(like my second mother), etc. If you talk about this to today's audience, it may look like tahir shah's eye to eye or steriotyped with latino blonds.
I appriciate every bit of this phase and consider it fundamental right to intrude into people's privacy occasionally with these things. Especially my friends and sister knows it. I start singing or playing loud gujju emotional songs, or make her eat food which I make, even though she clearly dislikes it. I make inappropriate brainless comments which are pure silk(acc to me :p ) in terms of humor but disregard and disrespect the IQ.
There was another phase from 12-15 which groomed me in sexual way, and hence all the cheap jokes come from that. Probably didn't work much on this part well.
Then came time when ambition took over, and thats where logic, imitation of so called brainy people, acting smart( not being really ) came from. Thats how you fit in probably.
The last few years are opening up in so many ways, because I realize, none of these is important. I realize, that pondering over fundamental questions and living life with full zest is important, and now spiritual quest is taking over.
Something like Christopher McCandeless in "Into The Wild", a must watch movie for everyone.
But I see a lot of people keep staying in acting smart phase, and keep sticking to some attitude, some class, and I am fine with it, after all, humans are different, raised different, facing different circumstances, and hence becoming different individuals.
We have an ever increasing tendency to judge things, especially when we start getting more and more disconnected, and start holding brain as supreme authority. I won't say that brain is not supreme authority, but plain logic isn't. Logic gets you get 10 pointers, witty arguments, intellectual discussions, good thesis defence, etc, but isn't it true, that everything is gonna end/not stay same in your experience after next 25 years, if you are of 25?
Why not be a latino cherishing years of his life, than being some employee in multinational working 12-14 hours a day?
I don't mean to say, don't have brains, or be brainless, thats not my intent.
But using wittiness to make yourself feel superior in front of bunch of people, and being ashamed of cracking simple non-intellectual jokes is what a huge mass in the world has picked up. It seems like you are interested in looking smart with your friends, rather than having time of your life, spending time with them. If you can't be crazy, laughing, crying with your friends, then they are not your friends or you are not their friend. All I can say, is such friendships are truly short-lived.
Forget friends, if you can't live zealously within yourself, that what's the point?
Deep Learning is going to fall someday, Artificial Intelligence with evolve someday, didn't you see how technologies and science crumbles and something else takes over? Your business will crumble, every f**king thing will crumble, your beloved brain will crumble, anything and everything will crumble, but in your head, you think you are a big man or will soon become big man, while in reality, all bigs men have someday become just a history line or at max a paragraph? and what meaningful contribution do we actually do in our lives, except for a few people? Most of the time, the code you have written becomes a heap of garbage, or no one even cares if you have 15 years of job experience especially when you are getting old, they throw you, most of the times, it seems that if you won't do the kind of job, 15 more people are there in queue to do it. It is just like a perpetual insane meaningless machine. It seems horrible, doesn't it? Probably not now, because you are young, things are fine, but moment, age crosses 40s, or the moment you occasionally fall ill, or see some close one's death, you again realize the brevity of situation.
So whats the point of this senseless machine? The point is that there is no point :) This is the most liberating answers anyone will receive.
So as a person, you go through a lot of phases, and its not an increasing or decreasing order, just different phases governed by different circumstances,
you need to appreciate the importance of that phase in that situation. Maybe you start consider some phase stupid, like right now after reading this blog, you will consider being hippie a better choice, and being intellectual as worthless, which is again incorrect. If you are fighting for life and death of a person, you better put some good logic or else f**k off, thats how you should be and thats how world expects you, especially when you take up higher and higher responsibility.
But in that phase, you might loose appreciation of being hippie, but again if you are fired or you loose a case, of if you win all cases and become lonely, you want to be hippie again . . . my point is, if you look back at chapters of your life, do observe different qualities of life with unjudgy eyes for atleast few moments, and look at the panorama of your tiny colors in the infinite universe and all the meaningless will become a beautiful chaos. Like a night sky, you will see, both stars of sparkling moments, and deep, huge complementing empty spaces.
Fun Homework : Watch "Into the Wild","Mamma Mia","12 Angry Man" and see if you can appreciate different treatments given in the film.
