I love discussions. Even when they are pointless. To me, a discussion is a window to another person's psychy. How they react to my arguments gives an insight on their way of thinking and says a lot about the personality of the person. Having said that, lemme go back and rephrase my first sentence. I love logical discussions.
So this morning I was discussing something (making something out of nothing as usual :P) with one of my very good friends. However, whenever I would ask any question the reply was "Well! It depends". So if I ask "Well! Do you like to eat at McD". The answer would be : "Well! It depends".
"What do you mean?"
"It depends on whether I want to eat a burger or not"
And this went on for quite a while. However, as usual, it provoked a chain of thought in me. How people like to hide behind a veil. "It depends" is a universal truth. Everybody knows that whenever u say a Yes or No or any other abstract answer.. it "depends".
Does earth revolve around the sun? It depends. No really! Till 14th century people believed that Sun revolved around the earth. So whether u ask this question to a person born before 14th century or after. It depends.
Does sound move very fast? It depends. It's slower than light and lot of other stuff. But it's definitely faster than a normal car.
Can u see the sun today? It depends. How cloudy it is when you look out. Whether there is fog or not. It depends. It's kind of what Einstein's theory of Relativity tells us. "It's all about perspective". "Two events happening
simultaneously for one observer may not be simultaneous for another" As you see.. even this suffer from "It depends"
So is there anything that is independent in this world? I dunno. But it's really funny how a lot of people try to hide themselves behind "it depends". Oh wait! "It depends" on the kind of
person you are.. :P
Well I just get so exasperated when people can't think straight and simply say : Yes I like McD. Someday if u don't feel like eating
there it doesn't mean that u don't like it. That's different. I, for one, totally hate Subway, and yet have eaten there thrice and will probably go again if I don't have any other option.
Yes, the earth revolves around the sun.
Yes, the sound is very fast.
Yes, I can see the sun today.
And yes, the events are simultaneous or No, they are not; based on which observer I am. Of course it's about perspective.
But then again, I guess it's a part of escapism. And being an escapist myself I know about this trait too well. People who know me well enough know how weird theories I cook up and what weird examples I give mostly in order to prove myself right. I also think that I am a hypocrite. But if I say out loud that I am a hypocrite. Does it make me a hypocrite? If I pretend to be pretentious, am I really pretentious? It's all about conjuring words. Manipulating words into making them mean whatever u want.
And that reminds me another thought chain. "I do whatever I want" is the anthem of every generation atleast till they reach 40s. Breaking News people : It still puts u in the same category as everyone else. They do what they like too. The only difference may be means. If you want to buy a car and have the means, you do it. If you don't have the means you don't. But latter doesn't mean you're not doing what you want. The latter simply means that if it was within ur capability and recah you would've simply done it. People who grumble about their jobs and say I never wanted to do this. Hello!! U wanted the money with this job. No one is forcing you to do this. You want your family to have a good life. So you are doing all this for what you want. As per my knowledge, there is no proof of the existence of a mind control device till this date. So whatever you
are doing, it's because you want to. The reason may differ. So when you say "I do whatever I want and don't care about anyone else" It's fine. You're just like everyone else. You are no different than a robber who robs a house. He's doing what he wants and does not care whether people think it's right or not.
I also wanted to go on about what really makes you different and about effects of zodiac on personalities. But this is already getting very big. Maybe I'll do that later.
