Let's start by talking about waves of the sea. I have to confess; I am from the mountains. Not from the shore at all. So, sea, and its waves always fascinated me. Even as an adult, I become a kid in front of the sea. When I go to the beach it is always a novel experience. The Sea waves are making its song, ever so as it has been, till eternity. Often, I keep watching under a shade, just observing. It clears the mind, and thoughts often are washed away. An occasional boat, or a walker, makes it even interesting. Even if it is not, I really enjoy watching boring waves. A walk on the beach- Poem from the book from the past to the future? One day I had a walk on the beach, With my daughter on my shoulders. My feet dug deep into the sand as I walked. On halfway I looked back. Most of my footsteps washed away, No trace, fresh sand covered footsteps, Waves crashed as ever. Then I realized, That I had no past, I had no future, And I cannot harvest the power of now. It is too fast! Explanation The book is concise; hence I have not given detailed explanation on what the poems in it means. That is what the blog is for. You may have read the book the "Power of now" by Echarte Tolle. He popularized the idea about insights gained when he noticed that he has only now to live. As past is already gone, the future not yet come, Now seems to be the only rational way to live. But in this poem and in the book, what is time, I would like to point out the fact that this is also an erroneous idea. As we cannot exactly define the now. You will find more details on this in the article "To catch the happiness before it hides." Characteristics of waves As we all know, waves are the ones which keep the beach alive and attractive, among many others. If you stay long enough on the beach, watching long enough you would see the patterns of waves. There are few facts about waves. Following are my observations. You may have different ones. After a while, waves lose their magic in them, I see they are monotonous. Some are small, some are rough and reach far inland, it's really unpredictable when it does. More the sea retracts, bigger the wave. Whatever the wave comes ashore, goes back to the sea. How about waves of life? Can we apply what we have learned about sea waves to life? Let's try. Waves can be compared with events, thoughts, happiness and sadness we feel. Waves of the sea, waves of life- Lessons learnt. Lesson 1 Dull waves After a while everything lose their charm. (you cannot listen to the same song even if it is best in the world). You will lose interest on your own bright ideas, things will be monotonous and boring. How are you getting way from this? Trust me I have experimented with this in the past. I have listened to the same song Just as an experiment. More insights from this experiment were written in this article, What I have I learnt by listening to the same song? Lesson 2 Buoyancy Generally, things happen in our lives are predictable. There are little ups and downs. But occasionally drastic things happen like a big wave and surprise us. It washes us away and break the cycle of our lives. Maybe today, maybe tomorrow, maybe in years to come. But it will come. Compare your life to a Buoy floating on the sea, there are ups and downs when there are waves pass beneath us. Can you stay sill on the sea surface? It will be really impossible. Even if you are on a huge cruise ship, there will be occasional shudders and shakes. That is part of the life. Lesson 3 Tsunami waves -rebound phenomena Have you watched the videos of tsunami? In 2004 Indian ocean tsunami, or 2011 Japan Tsunami, sea retracted hundreds of meters back from the beach before coming crashing back at the ground in enormous force and huge waves. Generally, bigger the retraction of the sea, bigger the waves which will follow. Although this is true for smaller waves, we do not notice it. We see this phenomenon, even in our lives. If you bet higher, risk of losing is higher. If you jump higher the fall is also high. And if you are attached to something more, crave more, loss will be more painful. This doesn't mean we shouldn't try. But be prepared if you do. Lesson 4 Tsunami of thoughts I can see, the beaches battered from Tsunamis are back to normal. People lost lives and their property, but they are back at their homes. The sea, when I look at is like ever before. There is no sign of horror, instead calm and peace still prevail in abundance. Nature has healed the wounds and recovered. More importantly what about Tsunamis in your mind? Even if there is a big wave, you lose money at a casino, or you fall down a slope, lose a loved one. This is not the end. The wave will go back to the sea. Where it came from, given enough time. And things will settle with a new balance. It is the rule of the nature. In summary: Waves in life and thoughts in mind are generally monotonous, Ups and downs are inevitable. Occasionally there will be big Tsunamis, however they will also eventually flatten out and pattern will repeat up until end. Let's be thankful to the sea teaching lessons of life, and happy wave watching. Waves of life, Poem by Guest @wFozStories It comes in waves we tell our friends who cry at graves. As you start to feel better out of the blue eyes turn redder. A song, a place, a photo of a smiling face. It’s not something to outsmart. Just ride the waves. It means love lives on inside your heart. You may also like reading: Story of the boy, the dog and mathematics On phone addiction- How do we get hooked?

This is a follow up to the article, to near death experience in an airplane. Few questions arise from near death experience are, Is it evidence to afterlife is prevailing? How near-death experiences occur? How near-death experiences changes life? Imagine a typical scenario of near-death experience. Imagine someone in a hospital, with a medical condition and suddenly stopped heart function. After several hours of extensive effort his heart is reverted, and he is back to life. After waking up, he describes what he has undergone. He may explain the experience as an outer body experience, or travelling through lights and waiting to enter, sometimes they may explain bad experiences like going through darkness. How can we explain above experiences? We will understand this as two scenarios. Imagine your life is like a room. And afterlife is next room. Near death experience may be that you have left your room, entered the next room and due to some reason came back to your room again. In this scenario, it is true it will represent afterlife. In the second scenario, you never left the room and just bumped into the door, you didn't see the other side, but just saw the door. It doesn't prove that there is another room at all behind that door. Really speaking, most of scientists and philosophers believe this is the most likely explanation to near death experiences. It may be due to extreme chemical fluctuations they had during such episodes. So we have some answers to first two questions. Maybe near death experience is not evidence of after life Maybe it is just because of chemical fluctuations, after all you are never "dead" as you wake up after near death. More importantly how near-death experiences change life? It is a common to see near death experiences changes the most of lives of such people who have experienced that. Markedly and so often. These transformative effects of near-death experiences are not explained by chemical fluctuations. However, if you followed my previous article you would know, there is no need to have gone through the process of dying or near-death for these transformative effects to occur. As even having a vasovagal attack and thinking I am in the process of dying, created some transformative thoughts in me. It seems they are merely psychological. Looking through the window of the empty tower I cannot see beyond the horizon, Where water lilies flower Crimes of the past when they haunt me an every hour. Curled on the floor when they bleed. sweet memories I savored. Similarly, we should think if such death is inevitable, how we should live our life? What is a life well spent? How to understand platonic Love? Thank you for reading philosophical insights to near-death experience.

You may disagree, to the above phrase. Yet you are reading this as you are curious. Why? Lets be practical. Let's think about the question "Why are you reading this article?" A question/problem is a missed opportunity to question itself In simple terms there are different reasons for different people to read this article. Some may have guided by my previous posts. Curious what I have to say. Some, just landed here because of a random google algorithem recommended it. Some may be just looking for something else, a thought for savouring. So answers to the above question can be : curious because of previous posts random google algorithem brought you here looking for a thought for savouring ... ... There are many more answers. Now let's look at what we have done. We had a question -> we searched for answers. That is the traditional way of looking at a question. That is how we were taught from our kindergarden. From our early days wherever we come from. Maybe its a shitty trailer in some abandoned park, or a mansion in a reknowned town, our elders taught us how to look for answers our questions. For thousands of years! Now lets look at the other way. We have a question -> question the question. Let's try. Beware ! it is going to sound crazy but it will lead to some insights about life. Level 1 "Why are you reading this article?" -> why did it become a question/problem for me? ( I did not have that question/problem before I start reading this article. Obviously up until you asked such a stupid question I was fine ! ) Level 2 Ok obvously it became a problem only when I got involved by reading this article. If I never read this article it will never be a problem to me. Obviously only few from billions around the world have kept their foot on this rabbit hole. Why am I such stupid? (another question let's skip this) Level 3 Something becomes a problem only when I become aware of it. But, can I be not aware of anything? Can you see? With only few steps you have become a great Philosopher of the century. (A joke ) You can use this trick whenever you have a problem. Trust me try it and it is fun. You will look like a fool only if you start speaking about it with others. So, keep it only within yourself. (LOL) maybe you can give a comment when you get suprising answers. After a while you will see a pattern and you will see where all the problems arise and the reasons for all our problems. Then only we can think about solving the problem of life.

You may Have heard the term the sky is the limit. It is a great quote to inspire us to achieve our goals. There is another saying, "Aim for the sky, and you will at least get caught in the clouds." Here are some interesting stories about sky and clouds. These are not big stores which gives you thousand ideas. Also, messages are not small. Never forget to look at the sky, When you are in the park Or going for a walk Or just before sneaking into the store Or stepping into your car. My childhood is written there, I wonder where yours is. (Story about kites that fly and don't.) Sky is a beautiful place, sometimes it is blue like the sea, like a polished sapphire. From this corner to that corner. Sometimes there is moon. Faint but visible, and big enough too. Sometimes the sky is cloudy. Different patterns, pattern less. Cirrus, Stratus, Cumulus. And even different colors. And sometimes it is Gloomy, and Stormy angry and thundering. Some skies are colorful. golden and red, pink and orange, with occasional rainbow to make it interesting. So, what? Can we just look at the sky without getting angry or sad, happy or joy, as it is nature of the sky is to change. Sky itself teaches us how we should look at our lives. Read about Waves of life here. Clouds: Once you have seen the clouds from the top, at 33000 feet from the ground, They no longer appear mighty, from below anymore. I wonder voyager would say, same for us. Sometimes it is difficult to see our lives in another person's perspective. Hence, we always see the world from only our perspective. How difficult is it to see the world someone else's point of view. I would say, it is impossible. We can imagine what is it like to see the world from someone else's mind, just by reading or listening to someone. Yet, this is not exactly to be that person. Hence, we would never know. We all agree we see things same. We all agree an apple is sweet. Yet we would never know it is sweet for you as same as it is sweet for me. You may read about clouds and mindfulness here.

Let's understand a basic feature about greed and jealousy, with some stories. Story 1. When I was a schoolboy, I used to do relatively well in academics, (of course I failed at anything else, couldn't sing, couldn't dance, couldn't do well in sports) Yet, I was among first few in the class each year. I used to sit in different places in the class as well. So, whenever there is no one else, I would sit there. I had a friend who did only average in the studies. One day I asked him. "Do you feel jealous about me?" I don't know why I did ask such a question. I was curious. I wanted to know his point of view towards me. I wanted to know what it is like to do average in the studies. And his answer surprised me. He said, "Not at all. I don't feel jealous about you. Actually, I don't feel anything about you doing well. But when I get exam results, I am more worried about other children who are at my average level. I would feel jealous if someone who scored less than me before, passed me this time. " His answer amazed me to this day. And I was glad he wasn't Jealous. Story 2. You may have heard about this story, at least some form of it. Think about following scenario. A man driving a Rolls Royes sees a jet and think to himself "Hmm, I wish I could travel in a private Jet." A man driving a regular car sees the Rolls Royes and thinks "Hmm, I wish I could drive a Rolls Royes" A man driving a motorcycle thinks "Hmm, I wish I could buy a car." A man cycling to work thinks "If only I could buy a Motorcycle." A man who walks by thinks " I wish I had a bicycle." A man on a bench without legs think "Oh, I wish I could walk again." It seems that the man who walks is likely to think about a motorcycle than a private jet. And it is more likely he would be jealous about someone buying a motorcycle or a car. Someone who is living in his social level. Similarly, we are more likely to be jealous about people who are at our "level" than anyone else. It seems absurd, if we think that jealousy solely depend on the level. It depends on where we are on that scale as well. Similarly, greed follows similar rules, as greed precedes jealousy. If you see closely, that seems to be the reason, as explained by my friend he had no issue being my friend, without feeling jealous. What does this teach us? Imagine you hear some news about people fighting with each other for a bag of rice in a rural underdeveloped part of the world. It seems tragic at first. But you can understand, the bag of rice is as valuable as a car, if you compare it with your society. You will fight for a bag of rice if you were in that situation. Next problem is even if you travel through your social or whatever the ladder according in your measurement, greed and jealousy will prevail. It will also climb up the ladder unless you understand that it happens. So, it will provide an opportunity to look at ourselves, and correct us, at any level. Unless we will never be satisfied.

I was watching Sausage Party the other day. An animation film with dark humor, if you haven't already watched. For those who haven't watched I have to give a summary to explain one scene which made me think. Film is about food in the supermarket, living their own lives thinking that they have a life filled with happiness and joy beyond supermarket doors. The humans or their "Gods" choose them to go beyond and give them a life of their imagination. There is a scene in the film where the sausage meets some wise items who are "non expiring", and they discuss the "great beyond " is a lie that they themselves generated to reduce the sadness and chaos otherwise would prevail if food understood the truth. This let me think about life and death. It seems whoever wrote the plot of the Sausage Party did think about it as well. We generally think the life beyond death is Either good or evil. Yet if we stick to facts, there is no absolute evidence for either of them. So, we have to imagine each one is equally possible. We ourselves have to think individually. Otherwise, we will be singing all the old songs our ancestors sang. There is a chance they created those songs, so they feel better when we face the death beyond. Let's think about each in turn, consider following scenarios, Everyone gets a happy ending after death. Everyone gets a sad ending after death. Death is the end of everything as we know it. What comes after death is consequence of what we do today. External force will help us to become great after death. You can be creative and add more. I will stick to these simple thoughts and discuss what we should be doing. Please drop all your prejudices if you wish to read beyond this point. Trust me I have my own believes, yet I like to forget all this and be rational and rational only. Scenario 1,2,3 If first second and third are true, there is nothing to worry. Whatever we do today the outcome for each of our action is fixed no matter what. It is good right? Yes of course, it is good only if we know one of them is true. Trust me I have not come across such evidence to say so. If I would ever find out, the search would end, and I will write it here so you don't have to look for it and we all can be happy or sad. Scenario 4 Imagine the fourth one is true. Our actions determine what happens to us after death. This is an equally possible scenario. If this is possible, we really have to be careful what we do in this life. Otherwise, we are doomed. What we should do and avoid you already know. Our ancestors taught us. But if we look at the world, you will see different ancestors taught us different good and bad things. One action which is correct in one part of the world is wrong in the other part. Scenario 5 If this is true it is great news. All we have to do is do whatever we like and get that external help on the specific way. But if you are rational, this is an equally possible scenario. There is a chance this could be wrong as well, as all of the others. More importantly if you believe in this too much it can clash with scenario 4. You will see this as a loophole to escape consequences of your actions. So, how are you going to decide what to do? You may ask. Think about each scenario and give equal weight to each one of them. Then think about yourself and you will have the answer. Unfortunately, I am not capable of deciding for yourself. Thank you for reading: What is there great beyond? Afterlife. Sausage Party You can find more on similar topic here: What is a life well spent. Minimalist, achiever, seeker Philosophical insights to near death experiences.

It is often discussed topic whether the process is more important than results. Here in this article, I will try to understand which is more important. At the end you will get enough information to decide yourself. Imagine you are trying to pass an exam. Exam is in six months' time. It may include a six-month period of study. We can consider two scenarios, Sam and Tom Imagine Sam who enjoys doing work, reading, taking notes and discussing with other colleagues. Similarly, there is another person (Tom) who is merely doing minimal and at the end of the semester cram for the exam. And imagine the second person able to get marks more than the first one. Think about these two people and which person would you like to be? Would you like to the person who enjoy work with low results, or do not enjoy the work but somehow get results? Although it is more likely the outcome is better, I think at least majority would like to be the person who enjoy the work. It seems the process is where we live most of the time. In this case the Sam can be happy thorough whole semester while Tom merely suffers it. Of course, in reality Tom has less chance of getting better results than Sam. CEO Jeromy - If the room is cold Meddling with thermometer would not bring the heat up. Now, let's look at the same problem in another perspective. This time you are the CEO Jeromy in a company. Let's say it is a computer software company. You have different projects running this year for several clients. You have few teams working under your management. Their task is to deliver the product before deadline. Earlier the better. In this scenario, the happiness of your customers matters most. It doesn't matter the process your team going through as long as they deliver sound products before the deadline. Results matter the most. But, similar to the above scenario, each individual like to have the best out. It is contradictory, if we think individual point of view, process matters more and if we think as a group, results matter, at least same as the process. In most of the companies they like to regulate the process, more intensely giving less creativity and degree of freedom to their employers. Where is the balance? I invite you to think how Professor Nash in Beautiful mind gives answer to similar question. In one scene of the movie Nash faces the following problem. He goes to a bar with his group of male friends. And there is a group of girls as well. His friend thinks about asking out the most beautiful girl in the group and Nash thinks to himself. If his friend Frank go for the Blond, chances are he will be rejected. Then if he goes for the next girl, he will be rejected as she knows it is his second choice. As every male is in the group wishes the best for themselves, they will all try the best girl first and nobody will succeed. However, if Frank goes for the second-best girl in the group, his chances of winning her are higher. Everyone will have a chance. Nash concludes that the "best outcomes in a group arises when Not when individuals try what is best for themselves individually, but when you try your best for the group." We can use this to answer our question. If you are individual, it is true the process can matter more than the results, especially if it is a lengthy one. Also, if you are in a group, you may have to sacrifice some individual gains in the process to have better outcomes for the group. Otherwise, nobody would gain. So, it is up to us to find out the sweet balance. You can find some more insights about the process and results -> here Thank you for reading, Process is more important than results? - insights from a beautiful mind Nash Equilibrium.

Have you ever played a game of chess, with an opponent, a computer and lost? You may think that well, the computer is "programmed" to play the game of chess. although you did not think "Am I programmed to play the game of chess?" "Who programmed me?" I was watching the movie Sherlock Holmes the Game of Shadows. There was a scene in it where Sherlock Holmes is playing a game of chess, with Professor Moriarty. It was so interesting to see how much intellectual these two guys were pictured, as after a while playing the physical game of chess, they took it into a whole new level. They started to play the game mentally. Chess boards were in their minds, they were moving pieces in their minds, until the game end. Usually, no human being is capable of analyzing more than a handful of possible moves into the future as the game is far complex than we think. How does a game of chess between humans differ from a game played with a computer? Imagine a game of chess played with a computer. We tend to take a computer as a true opponent of us. Even if we know computers do not "think" and they don't have a "wish" to win the game, it appears during the game, the computer shows, and interpret some qualities as such. It seems computers are capable of "thinking and wanting to win" after all. Although a simple computer program is not capable of replicating all the functionality of a human being. Now in the new era of AI, they are conquering these complex human responses as well. At least we can have a great conversation with AI nowadays. It really feels like chatting with some intelligent being, if you involve your emotions rather than just trying to find answers to questions. Following is a chat I have done with AI Bing. You can try on your own. It seems AI is more ethical and practical than most of us would do. This is not a time or place to discuss how to use AI effectively. There are plenty of articles on the internet for such purposes. This is just to illustrate the fact; we can be just mere complex structures which follow physical laws (deterministic). After all the gap between us and our own inventions become lesser by the day. I really wish Elon Musk would ultimately prove that we are crazy advanced AI one day!

I can still remember watching Sir David Attenborough video about dung beetles. If you haven't, I have given a video about the dung beetles in following link. However, when I was thinking about it, I had a thought how we are similar and different from a dung beetle. This article is about it. Dung beetles - the Gurdian How are we similar to a dung beetles? Think about the dung beetle. It was born from a beetle mom and dad. It grew up eating dung. And once it is fit and grown it started rolling balls of cow dung proudly over long distances tiring everyday every week. Eating and growing more. Mated with the partner and made some more beetle kids. Once it is old, it will die making food for some black ants. A whole lot of similarity found between us and dung beetles. You may think wait! we do all those things, but Dung? We don't eat dung. Of course, we don't eat dung. But I'm quite sure not only the beetles eat dung, but they enjoy that too. They must have taste for the dung, they must feel some satisfaction when they eat. Although we don't share same taste buds, Dung is food for the beetle, and there is nothing wrong in that. Fundamentally beetle eat dung because it has taste for it. Aren't we doing the same? We eat whatever we have taste for. After all, we are animals. How can we judge the beetle. We would be doing the same, if we had taste for that. We are lucky our nature didn't give us taste for that. But imagine a world where we had, and nobody would judge us eating cow dung. It will be like milk. Surely, you must be furious with me now. You have thousand things to say. We have brains, to think and we are of course higher than a Dung beetle. How dare you compare us with a beetle. Not a Ladybird, but a sick dung beetle? What is the point you are going to prove? How are we different from a dung beetle? I can give few ideas from thinking about such a fact. Following are my lessons. It helps me to lower down my ego. After all I am not much different from a dung beetle. I have my own dung to roll everyday every week. And whenever I see someone who thinks otherwise it makes me smile. Their ball is bigger, in their dung bank, but it is still dung. It makes me appreciate the nature. Think about it. Nature as a person, looking at us. Does she see us as this intelligent species doing marvelous things? Maybe not. Maybe nature just laugh at us seeing just like we laugh at beetles. It's time to lower our egotism as a species. In fundamental aspects of life, I see no difference between humans and dung beetles. I may be wrong. We have our thinking capacity which is unique. But if we don't use it. We will just spend a beetle life. So, whenever there is time, I suggest you think about life. To understand the game of nature, that it plays with us. Respect animals, in same level as humans. Thank you for reading How are we different from Dung beetles?

Have you ever tried multitasking? Listening to the lecture while chatting with a friend on Facebook? Or trying to solve a math problem while listening to music? It may sound a good idea to do that so. You may like to eat while you work in your computer. Does this improve your productivity? What does the computing and mathematics teach us about multitasking? Turing machine: In 1936 mathematician Alan Turing introduced a hypothetical machine which has ability to do complex mathematical problems by following simple instructions and inputs from an infinite - long tape read by a "head". Head can read and write one symbol at each time. The Church Turing thesis follows that such universal Turing machine would compute any mathematical equation which is possible by humans. If you would like to read more about how such a Turing machine works following is a good example. However, I would not elaborate more on this line. Imagine a computer with only a one Turing machine inside of it. Although multitasking is possible and computers are capable of doing this fast enough, we would not see apparent slowing from end user point of view, this is surely going to slow down the process. (computers can follow several processes at single time but with slower) Now imagine us as similarly with one Turing machine inside, which is our processor whatever it is. If we try to put more information from multiple tasks, it surely will slow down. Apparently, this is what happens for most of us. Hence, at least for tasks that need more intellectual powers it is not recommended to do multitasking although it seems an attractive option for some. It can really affect the productivity and exhaust. However, imagine if our brain doesn't work like a computer and we have several Turing machines inside of it. In that case, of course multitasking is possible, and it can improve the outcome of our work and will be faster to get something done. So, the real important question is that are we owners of single Turing machine or several such machines? To practice mindfulness, do one thing at a time. When I look at myself all I see is my attention can only hold onto one thing at a time. It is like the head of the Turing machine focusing on one cell of the Turing strip at a time. I can focus on sound, a thought, a taste only one at a time. So, at least for myself it is only a one Turing machine. Hence, multitasking is not for me. It doesn't mean I do not enjoy some background music while I do some writing. But for mindfulness practice multitasking is a bad idea. What does multitasking do for you? Is it helping or hindering you? Thank you for reading Multitasking and Turing machine lifehack mindfulness. You may also like to read: mindfulness definition. Is slow the new fast - mindfulness.

You may have the same question, or something similar. Although I oppose Elon Musk landing on the mars, I have no doubt he would succeed. But we can look at the same problem from different angle. I am also excited about 2029 where we will land on Mars! On superficial level following are a few of many reasons why we shouldn't land on Mars. At least Now. Next, we will try to figure out what problem Elon Musk is trying to solve. Reasons for not to land on Mars. It is Expensive, as we all know money is scarce resource. It is estimated that we will be looking at 100 billion to 10 trillion dollars to build a city on Mars. Imagine how many cities we can build on our own planet. Humanity still seems not immediate danger from a threat from the space. Yes, there can be some things like extreme climate changes and increase in heat, or a disease which can wipe out humanity out of the planet earth. However, if these threats are real Shouldn't we try to find out solutions by allocating our resources on experiments and developments on these lines? We are not using everything the planet earth have to offer us. There is still space to grow trees and build cities. We are still not united as a single species on earth to tackle the problem of habiting another planet. Are we going to fight for a land On Mars by 2059? Let's us not forget our true responsibility as affluents is not to follow every dream but to realize our responsibility for fellow humans. Singers Famine relief argument is a good starting point of our moral obligations. Just because we could do something we shouldn't be do it. Those are my main reasons for not to think about Mars at this point in time. Yet I cannot tell still whether it is a good or bad Idea. As it looks bad Idea today actually this mission itself may unite all human beings in the future somehow and think as "Earthers "than individual nations and races. Or it might develop research to change our climate crisis as we learn how to change a total new planet. Time will tell us what is there in future. More importantly let us hear what Elon is thinking when he decided to look for Mars. "I think this is an incredibly important thing for the future of life itself ... there's always some chance that something could go wrong on Earth. Dinosaurs are not around anymore!" -EM "Life can't just be about solving problems," Musk said. "There have to be things that inspire you, that move your heart. When you wake up in the morning, you're excited about the future." Now, that is interesting, and it seems Elon is just as we are. He tried to figure out the meaning of life. And during which he was excited about the idea of conquering the sky and landing on Mars to prepare ourselves for the doom's day. Just like I am excited in building my blog. He is excited building massive things. Just because he can. I would like to imagine things too. Let's imagine he figured out the meaning of life with some information. And if he did, he would never even think about landing on Mars. Fortunately, or unfortunately, he would not and that will change lives of many others around the world as he is very influential by power. The problem Elon trying to solve is meaning of his life. Instead of looking at the sky for answers I would suggest we should look inside ourselves and ask the question "Who am I?" and be not satisfied until we get it correct. It would save us a billion dollars in the future, if you happened to become a wealthiest man on the planet. There is no way out, other than to fly Fly like a bird, an airplane a rocket into the sky And rise above the problems of life Once you are done, it's time, Time To look back at them and smile And never succumb to gravity Ever again.

Kira was walking in the park. The sky was gloomy as usual, yet it was not the totally bad weather. Spring had begun, and the sleeping beauties of nature just started to awaken. Everything else was damp except the concrete and tiled walking paths in the park. Several beings from the neighborhood were there, out for a walk as he was. He sat on the bench, by the big playground. A couple were playing with a rugby ball, throwing and catching in turn. He saw another emerge from the bush behind the playground. Their dog preceded them into the ground. Dog, looked happy as always, dogs are. Sometimes he wondered dogs are happier than him. It met with another in the middle of the ground. Like real human beings greeting each other, they wagged their tails and ran away together. He took a deep breath. He felt like the sky. Closed his eyes and listened the sounds. Sounds opened up another dimension to the same world. He could hear, things he could not see. He could hear wind, which he could not see. He could hear birds and he could hear the bell of a cycle, and a couple walking by. He could hear a tinder voice of a little girl talking to her mom. And he drifted in his mind into the past. Six years ago, he was a clerk in a private firm. He used to tire himself daily, working nine hours per day. It wasn't hard work, for his body, yet his mind was exhausted at the end of the day. Never ending unhappy crowd, he had to work with, for the minimal pay that he got. It was barely enough for him to survive. It was all past and he smiled as he was far away from the that past. He remembered one such afternoon, stressed by work, he had to walk out of his office. He was about to burst, and he had to walk out. He ran into a nearby cafe, put his hand into his pocket and had few coins. He bought a tea and started to slip it looking out of the window. He saw a small boy, in rubbish worn-out cloths looking through the window. The boy looked hungry and afraid. Afraid of the society which abandoned him and had been cruel to him. As his eyes met the eyes of the boy, he ran away. Darted across the street like a ghost. And saw the boy stopping by the drain on the other side of the road. Ghost boy waited half a minute and bending forward staring at the drain, and next second he jumped in the drain and vanished from the view. As Kira got up and went to the window to see what happened and he saw the boy climbing out of the drain. Triumph in his eyes as he held onto a note. Dirty old, ragged note. And he was full of black dirt and oil up to his belly. And vanished through the crowd who wanted to get away from the stinking pile of running garbage. Suddenly he was awakened by the bark. A proud dog walking by him with his lavish owner, the sight of affluence. He smiled to them. He felt happy he was away from the hell. Yet he felt a deep sadness in his heart when he remembered the Ghost boy, and the cup of tea. Maybe he died in a dark corner of an alley. And he abandoned him.
