Einstein quotes

-
"I have no special talent. I am only passionately curious."

"It's not that I'm so smart, it's just that I stay with problems longer."

-Albert Einstein

back to that favourite perch...the fringe.
It'd be interesting to see which side of the fence beckons this time :-)

Meaning in a day

-
Did your today have a meaning?

Maybe a tear wiped,
A smile lighted,
An unselfish act of love,
Or a mind ignited…

Maybe a puff of your dream pipe,
Another patient brick into that castle in air…

Or maybe a weed uprooted
From the garden of life…

Maybe…

Making meaning in a day…day after day…
As another naughty day just tends to slip away…

The aim of life...

-
What if I were to say that at the broadest level of generalisation the aim of human existence is just "Reduction of Uncertainty".
That's what each one is doing, right...in our chosen areas...


Well, better brush up your probability :-)

Learn to love

Don't get me wrong...I'm not talking about boy-girl love here. That is a special familiar case of what I'm trying to say, familiar to most more because of the hormones he/she is born with, than due to any other reason...and I really dunno how true such love is in most cases ;-)

But have you ever truly loved? It could be love for anything.
Love for a subject (most familiar to me :-)), love for an object, love for another human, love for your own self...anything...true unconstrained love...love without any reason...expecting nothing in return...just thrilled that you're in the journey whatever be the outcome...

If you manage to feel it in any one aspect, you'll be capable of seeing it in other aspects too...

Well, then your life becomes much more difficult - I can assure you that - as you find it difficult to really connect to people or things floating/living/dying on the surface...the hollowness of it all...and you get hurt more often...

But it's a different kind of thrill...intense love is probably the first step to figuring out "the meaning of it all"...

Honestly I guess Einstein felt the same intensity for his equations as did the Buddha for his quest...their paths were different but I guess the two guys would've connected really well...

Get me in touch with more mortals who have this intensity...it gets very lonely sometimes...

Learn to love :-)

That's so dumb!

Whether you are deemed "crazy" or "normal" depends on how much people around you understand you...

That's so dumb!
