Ignorance is Bliss

Came across some good stuff. Here is extract before you follow the link. You can find the original source at Link: here

  • Nobody will ever understand you completely
  • You can only speak for yourself
  • There will always be a major distortion between what you know, what you will be able to communicate, and what people will then comprehend

Mementos

Its been quite a while since last entry. Thoughts were just freezed and thought which were not freezed did not make it to blog.

Dead people do not grow older in your memories. They will always be of same age, with same face, no matter you try to remember them several years later. Past is always alive and frozen with dead. Dead people do not talk but they haunt. Past has a great effect on us. Mementos are always around us, they are in any from. Even black can remind us brightest moments of our life.

Death has power to make everything immortal.

Want Vs Need

"Sometimes we get what we want, but not necessarily what we need"
Need is something you have to have, something you can't do without. Want is something you would like to have. It is not absolutely necessary, but it would be a good thing to have. Need most of the time is a result of necessities in life. Want most of the time attributes to greed. There are simple questions which when answered honestly can determine that what we want is our need or not?
  • Can I live without it?
  • Will it make a big difference in my life if I do have it?
  • Will my life end if I go without it?
  • Will it matter to others if I have it?
  • Can I replace it with something else?
But most of the time we are too emotionally bound to our want making it a false need. False needs are real pain because we unnecessarily pursue them. But there are situations in life when our want becomes a need and that situation is triggered by convincing ourself that a want is a need.

Why do we have to question ourselves to find out whether what we want matters to someone else?? Any guess?
