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. :)
