Shadows of a Pessimist...


If someone speaks "the unspeakable", do we still call it "the unspeakable"?

My brain has been fairly silent for the past few weeks. However, there has been a constant struggle between two unidentified parties within my being -- one was too lazy to dream, the other was trying to push a few words out, for my blog. "French-Connection-United-Kingdom"ing extremists.

If my system was a profit-making firm - we would've failed miserably. There's just no coordination, each department thinks they are leading me. It's all politics. Every little organ wants to be in charge.

You hold it in too long - your kidney starts to fail... You practice meditation, hold your breath, trying to be the next best thing to Buddha - your heart stops functioning... Meet friends, enjoy some of that rejuvenating passive-smoking - your lungs start evaporating...

Every little organ has it's demands. I am just expected to sign the paper-work and let it all happen.

Your body is no longer your temple -- it's your organization. You need to invest in it, not worship it. Invest smart, and someday, you'll get those $returns$.

Ever seen those organ donor advertisements? There is always someone who says "I'll donate it, so that I can live even after I m gone."
Then there are those who donate everything. They say "I'd like to think there is a little part of me in every human being."

That's the worst world domination plan I've ever come across.

I don't get some of these happy-shiny-people. Everywhere I look, everyone is trying to do some good for society -- then, who the hell is screwing up? Moreover, if everyone is scratching someone else's back -- who scratches the back of the guy who started this chain? And what about the last guy -- he won't have anything to do! (unless we operate in a circle).

We hear all these drivers complain about bad driving and worst traffic -- if everyone is complaining, then who is destroying this system of ultimate bliss?

The truth is, on an average, every human being screws up at least 1.58 times a day. 1.58 multiplied by 6.2 billion people -- that's quite a number! Moreover, for the guy who made a mistake, it's just his first mistake for the day -- but, for the 12 people who saw him, that's like the 7th one today!

Unfortunately, we are unaware of how we, ourselves, function -- however, we are all up-and-ready to help enhance the quality of somebody else's life.

The logic is simple - poorly managed organizations never manufacture outstanding quality. If you know nothing about yourself, you can not go out and change the world.
