of Motivation and tragedies

The secrets to motivating oneself to actually get stuff done is the one that shall truly evade you till it hits... it isnt even a grail worth searching for - truly - however antithetical that sounds, because the ends is literally the means in this case.
After a bunch of such (see up) obfuscating BS i have often passed off as venting on this blog, I suddenly wake up and realize that such egoistic catharsis is probably what keeps people from reading my voicings....
very similar indeed to why i refuse to accept tragedies (horror, thriller, drama - real life) whatevr cover they are sold under. As most people who have had the unfortunate opportunity of actually hearing first hand my choicest opinions already probably know, i am totally opposed to spending any of my money and even more importantly my spare time watching/reading something that is most likely gonna dampen my spirits. I fail to appreciate the so called human aspect of suffering if I dont see no redemption of faith by the end - i dont see why i should drudge through poise and spirit only to see it crushed and then "appreciate" the creator' artistic vision!!!
PEOPLE ... WAKE UP - the only reason we seek solace in the movies and the books is because there is enough "....." going on in real life that you want to get your mind off of. You dont go to see more of the same.. and feel happy atleast its not you... I probably am only delighted that it ends in a couple of hours and i can go back to my own personal stuff.
So.... gimme THE ROCK in a TUTU anyday.... (Govinda in yellow suit over a purple shirt ala the MASK came a close second)

Silence...

They say silence is golden, but i would call that highly overvalued.... words are pearls and silence is not a good setting for them. Silence is a pregnant pause between meaningful discourse but a pause in the continuum of life. The meaning of silence takes different forms with age... in childhood, it is a moody tantrum when screaming achieves nothing, it is the sharp glare that accompanies the reprimand. In youth, it is the boredom that drives you to break rules, the holding back of sweet nothings... In maturity, it is the peaceful solitude of rest, an oasis in an otherwise tumultous responsibility. It is what we seek when the only ones we feel close to are our inner thoughts, it is what we enforce as the strictest punishment of our social justice!
Thus it vacillates between being sought after and sought release from ....

just like the tales of all our lives summarized. Existing in the in betweens :)

Systemic needs....

Human nature seems far too volatile to actually be bound by something as simple as rules, yet doesnt everyone have their own internal knowledge of what is right and what is wrong without ever having to be told anything... i agree that the lines blur, but even in the smallest instances, there is an inherent personal acceptance of what seems right and what wrong - dont misunderstand me.. i talk not of necessity, but of that vague global "correctness".
If core values and what i believe in human psychology (which i pretty much nonchalantly slept through in school) is referred to as the "id" did not tell us all pretty much the same thing, there is no way human societies would ever have agreed to a common set of applicable practices and laws that in their essence if not verbage are the same.
Yet, i guess the fact remains it is not in the rules themselves but in their interpretation that the true charm of existence resides.. and these as everything else are open to interpretation based on circumstance.

Management

The "in thing" to do these days, at least in the circles i seem to frequent... or with greater honesty the only circles i have.. is to do an MBA. Which brought me around to thinking that if everyone around wants to become a manager, what exactly it is that is running everything.. and if it is the only thing actually working, who needs the management more.. what seems to be working or those who seem to be shirking the actual nitty gritty in pursuit of what seems to be greater efficiency. I think the argument i was trying to make was lost somewhere in the circularity of my logic.... but if any of that actually makes sense to you, i am of the firm belief that you should be working, coz in my opinion, that was pure management speak - no message but a lot of words.
Wonder what that paragraph actually classifies me as.... on second thoughts.. dont answer that. :)

All the more sweeter....

... till it gets diabetic!!

I remember reading once as a kid that neem leaves tasted bitter because they were a 100% sugar. Which gets me to thinking along familiar lines.... is too much of a good thing really bad? Is the delicious dripping chocolate cake really "Devil's Food"?
hmmmm..... why must there be a serious consideration of pros and cons for any one of life's many indulgences?
Why do we want everything knowing fully well that we defenitly cannot manage?

I get the feeling I am asking way tooo many open ended questions and providing no views of my own, so before I offend the "Blog Gods" any further, I opine that we want everything because it is there for the taking. Satisfaction with a situation is a stagnant station. There would be no forward progress if we all liked our lots.. competetion and demand are the oil that make the cogs of mankinds progress run. The failures are those that bite off a lot more than they can chew, and the successes are those who exhibit controlled gluttony.

The way my metaphors seem to be going indicate that I defn need a chocolate fix myself.
