MAGICAL MINDFUL LIVING: FINDING JOY IN THE EVERYDAY

If you want to compare life to a game, baseball would be the one to go with. In baseball rules are simple, in life it is the same. However, the way we should be playing the life game would be slightly different from what happens in a baseball match. You may say, wait a minute. Why am I reading this? Why should I know about rules of the baseball and life? Life is like a baseball game - Scoring with Homeruns. The fact is I do not care, if you like baseball or not. But rules of

A talent is a natural phenomenon Imagine a seed, A chestnut or a walnut. Once the seed is planted in a fertile ground, with enough water and sunlight, it will create a sapling. Which will eventually become a tree. There is no miracle in it. Nobody goes woooow.. look at that chestnut tree. I wonder how it came to exist? Nobody talks like that as there is no mystery to it. It is just a natural process with a sequence of steps involved, unraveled by the part of science called bo

Forever teledramas and infinite novels When I was young, I listened to teledramas on some boring family affairs. Falling in love, relationships, family disputes etc. These teledramas were long, sometimes aired for years. While the beginning is played, they did not even know about the complete plot, as there would be major plot twists once in a while throughout the year. I call them forever teledramas. After some time, even these forever teledramas would end. They would no lon

Moral ambitions You might have moral ambitions towards society and others. If you're working in education, you might want to improve literacy and build a better system of education for future generation (maybe put some professors in kindergarten). If you work in finance, you will utilize financial instruments to generate wealth which can be used to improve public health and human condition. If you are a millionaire, you might want to become a billionaire to become a philanthr

Waking up a cave man. Imagine waking up as a caveman. Would it be like Croods? In the movie? I wouldn't guess a colorful world but a brutal one, with daily struggle to search food and water. Build a place for living on my own hands, fight for the rights of mating. Hot when it is sunny, cold when it is cloudy, and die when fallen sick. Yet, there would be no one responsible for my actions, other than me. I have a choice. If I do not eat, I die. If I do not fight, I do not get

Law of non-contradiction. In logic and mathematics, law of non-contradiction is considered a valuable tool to proving statements. Basically, the rule says a preposition (a statement) and its negation both cannot be true at the same time. Such that if you say, "this cat is white" automatically this disregards the statement "this cat is brown". Yet there is a problem, at least in the case of cats. In life you will find many examples that law of non-contradiction is false. A swa

Life can be only understood backwards - Soren Kierkegaard Illusion of control. How much of your life is under your control? A lot, right? You are responsible for most of the things you do, and outcomes you create for yourself. You may believe that, If I just stop watching phone every minute, build a vision for myself and work smart, and disciplined myself, I can create a nice future for myself. This my friend is the illusion of control. Feeling of control, you feel after you

Distance between you and your rules is bigger in the life. We were born into a system called society, with some smaller systems called co-operations. Governments are special kind of cooperation which everyone is a part of it. Whether we like it or not this is how the world function. In these systems there are rules. Such that, in your own office there are rules describing your work. How much you are paid. How many hours you have to work. The rules themselves are not made by y

Academic Forums. Have you ever been to one? I have on many occasions, where highly professional individuals gather to discuss current future and past developments of a specific field. It could be computer science, fiction, medicine or mechanical engineering. Often these places are largely crowded by serious as well as mischievous people who call themselves professionals forgetting the fact that it's just a cohort from the society, perhaps a little bit above average IQ than th

Disclaimer : This article discusses, death, 9/11, unnatural death Why language comes before science? Really? Do I have to reason this out? What did you do before all the math and Ven diagrams and valuations? Did you not start babbling words back and forth with your mom still being unable to stand up in your two feet? But, halfway through high school everyone forgets, that language comes before science, as all the aspiring careers are opened up only for students of science and

What is uncertainty principle? Have you ever listened to Stromae singing about uncertainty principle, in a song, in French. That may be not the real Uncertainty principle taught in the Book by Richard Fynman (the physicist). According to Latter genius, uncertainty principle lies at the heart of the quantum mechanics, which says, there is a limit to the precision that some paired physical phenomena can be known, such as position and momentum of a particle, when velocity is mea

I can remember the first time I said some bad word. Maybe I was eight years old. Prior to this I have heard many bad things being said by adults. However, somehow, I knew it is not good to tell them. Yet, on this occasion in my primary years, I said a bad word, for no particular reason and in a friendly way. Nobody knew I said it, maybe except for one of my childhood friends, whom I am sure have totally forgotten that I exist, yet alone the words I said to him. Now, when I lo

I recently had a discussion with ChatGPT, about myself. It is very thoughtful. Some brilliant Ideas came out from the questions I asked. It is same as having a chat with a thoughtful friend. Consider the following I extracted from the discussion. The universe is experiencing itself through countless little windows This is more poetic than scientific, but I love the idea. There was a time when there were stars, galaxies, oceans and mountains—but no creature looking at them and

What are boundaries? Just imagine, in all our lives what we have tried to do is to define boundaries. When we first started to talk, we said mother and father, to some figure, which has a boundary to it. A tree is a concept with a boundary around it. Same is it's leaves and roots. A stream has a boundary. A drop of water has a boundary. A bottle of water has a boundary. A country has a boundary. Earth. Solar system, Milky way visible universe All these have boundaries. We hav

Value of truth From early life in my life, I was told not to lie. By teachers, by parents by tutors' mentors and numerous adults. And with great respect I believed them. And I try to adhere to the protocol of the society, as far as I can and knew I was doing a wrong thing when and if I told a lie to my six-year-old friend at school. Then you may question me why I asked you to lie. Not to others not for any gain. And strangely why you should lie to yourself? I can explain, wit

Wabi-Sabi is a Japanese concept, of finding beauty in the imperfect, incomplete and impermanence world. The roots of the concept travel deep into Buddhist traditions and philosophy. Anyone who is in search of meaning of life would have understood that the nature by default is an ever-changing impermanent flux of energy and matter. It is really not necessary to chase behind what "matter" is and what "energy" is. We can call it even a universal soup, if you do not like the name

Table manners We were having dinner in a nice beachfront restaurant, and were welcomed with a deep red watermelon juice, which captured the taste of a fully ripe watermelon of tropical kind. Once done the glasses were on the table with, a little bit of manners left in the bottom of each one, a tiny bit of watermelon juice to remind ourselves of the taste just a few seconds ago flooded our tastebuds. Lilly White was looking at them curiously and could not wonder the two cups w

Part 1 - the inside man. Imagine a man, in a house. While within this house he would know, everything inside of it. He would know the tables and chairs. He would know what pictures hang on the walls of his living room. He would know the smell and the color of his bedsheets. He would know people inside of it. Basically, he would move from one place to another inside his own house. Without disturbing anything. But re-arranging them for his use. Part 2- the outside man. Now cons

Beginnings. Information theory is a fascinating concept, connecting mathematics with computer science, biology and even philosophy. Previously I have written about information sphere, and how the personality is just a representation of information. However, only recently I have read about mathematical representation of information theory. As an example, the human DNA contains only 1.6 GB worth of information in its base pairs. Yet here you are reading this article with comple

There is no coming to consciousness without pain." — Carl Jung "For in much wisdom is much grief: and he that increaseth knowledge increaseth sorrow." — Ecclesiastes "Consciousness is... the dagger in the flesh." — Emil Cioran "It is great pain... that makes us more profound." — Friedrich Nietzsche Pain of awareness Did you know? If you do not know, the awareness has a price. As a blog, here I promote mindfulness as means to discovering solutions for our life problems. The aw
