'Un'-Unifying theme
Wow-its been a while since i last visited this page, and as usual things have changed at such a sudden pace since my last blog here-wow thats good at least some things seem to 'change' if not the 'expected.'
As a matter of fact -now that i look back its more like 'deja vu' things that i also wanted to happen are 'actually happening!! OMG that IS scary-like i said ,perfection,symmetry-not my cuppa tea.yup! i mean life has to be asymetrical right? or are those just pre-conceived notions that were instilled in our 'innocent' minds so that when things went differently we would be less 'uncomfortable' with change and the unexpected?** If you need to-read this line again.
So i just read few books and to mention the worthwile few -'tipping point' and 'freakonomics'( Steven levit..& some other guy---forgot!),and coincidentally-they were very simillar, many themes,theories. Would you ever think of questions like 'why drug addicts still live with their moms?' or 'how names influence the life of future generation children?' --->and i thought i did too much of the thinking here!!
okay well moral of the story-which happens i happen to be 'living' in my life as we speak every moment is, we need to be skeptical of conventional wisdom, and like Dr Steven rightly puts, 'If morals represent an ideal world,then economics represent the actual world!'
More than anything-i espouse the most IMPORTANT theme in this book (freakonomics)- 'i dont have to have a unifying theme to write!!' and i will extend this- i dont have to have a unifying theme in my thoughts, in my desicions! maybe even in life- who said we have to have a 'unifying' theme to everything we do?? isnt that 'again' conventional wisdom?? :)
