One life....

All we got is ... one life.


Think about born again with all your 40+ knowledge 20+energy and 60+wisdom.

We do have the entire 60+ years ahead.

Why i am blabbering about this?

I am 43 now and I feel less enthusiastic about changing the world
i see ... the thought i had when i was 20+.


At 20+ i felt that the whole life is in-front of me to explore.
I repeat... life is in-front of me to explore.


But after reaching 40+ i feel like i have left a lot behind doing
nothing to change the world as i see it.

Even the people i meet and all my friends are not talking about
changing the world and not talking about what is wrong with the world.
Most of them are talking about "how much we have saved"... to lead the
rest of the life..."how much we have earned"... that sounds more like...

i am getting ready to retire and die.


I am now wondering what it would feel like when i am 50+...

Will my friends talk about who are all alive and who are all dead?? and
not about changing the world?


Will that be like i am almost done and let me look for decent
death?
Will that be like I have left all these years doing nothing
and what i am going to do with aching leg, head and spine?

Will that be like I am closer to death and let me look for
things to feed without working?

Are there people who changed the world they saw... after 40?

There are very few .... Am i one of them?

Let me see.

Thought and Solar Energy

Here is an interesting comment i made to my colleague today (8th Sep 2009)

I asked him " you look like you are lost in your thoughts"

He said..."yes ... i was thinking about something" "how can anyone
be without thinking"..."We always think".

Then i made this comment out of the blue (which i think i was
thinking about when i was thinking about blogs, teaching, social
media networking !!!).

"Thinking is like Solar energy...free and Wasted". He repeated the same and noded as if he acknowledged my statement "Thinking is like Solar energy...free and wasted".



Then this thought came to my mind...why there are no process
which puts all the thoughts available free and put them into
use (like solar concentrator....).

Damn my thought... that is and was done with text-books, papers,
stories.
Damn my thought... that is what google is doing concentrating the
most searched page on the topic.
Damn my thought... that is what teachers are doing ... delivering
concentrated lessons leanrt over decades.

Damn my thought...

Yet another number...

Here is another example of our obsession with number...what is so stupidly great about the number 70? If it is 50 or 100 i can understand...what is this 70?

Poland is celebrating the 70th anniversary of WWII....what a crap.
