congeriesThe paradox of our time in history is that we have taller buildings but shorter tempers, wider freeways, but narrower viewpoints.
We spend more, but have less, we buy more, but enjoy less. We have bigger houses and smaller families, more conveniences, but less time. We have more degrees but less sense, more knowledge, but less judgment, more experts, yet more problems, more medicine, but less wellness. We drink too much, smoke too much, spend too recklessly, laugh too little, drive too fast, get too angry, stay up too late, get up too tired, read too little, watch TV too much, and pray too seldom. We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values. We talk too much, love too seldom, and hate too often. We've learned how to make a living, but not a life. We've added years to life not life to years. We've been all the way to the moon and back, but have trouble crossing the street to meet a new neighbour. We conquered outer space but not inner space. We've done larger things, but not better things. We've cleaned up the air, but polluted the soul. We've conquered the atom, but not our prejudice. We write more, but learn less. We plan more, but accomplish less. We've learned to rush, but not to wait. We build more computers to hold more information, to produce more copies than ever, but we communicate less and less.
These are the times of fast foods and slow digestion, big men and small character, steep profits and shallow relationships. These are the days of two incomes but more divorce, fancier houses, but broken homes. These are days of quick trips, disposable diapers, throwaway morality, one night stands, overweight bodies, and pills that do everything from cheer, to quiet, to kill. It is a time when there is much in the showroom window and nothing in the stockroom.
A time when technology can bring this letter to you, and a time when you can choose either to share this insight, or to just hit delete.
Remember, spend some time with your loved ones, because they are not going to be around forever. Remember, say a kind word to someone who looks up to you in awe, because that little person soon will grow up and leave your side. Remember, to give a warm hug to the one next to you, because that is the only treasure you can give with your heart and it doesn't cost a cent. Remember, to say, "I love you" to your partner and your loved ones, but most of all mean it. A kiss and an embrace will mend hurt when it comes from deep inside of you. Remember to hold hands and cherish the moment for someday that person will not be there again. Give time to love, give time to speak, and give time to share the precious thoughts in your mind.
AND ALWAYS REMEMBER:
Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.

Date: 2003-12-07 07:33 am (UTC)первый состоит в том, что хаоса и энтропии хватает даже с моим осмыслением реальности :) иначе говоря, бесполезное чтение прокрадётся в мой мир вне зависимости от моих хотений
а второй момент - самый важный - состоит в том, что я - хозяин мира, а не он - меня (пафосно, но описательно - я про оперативный подход к существованию). я решаю, что мне важно, а что - не очень. соответственно, я и мир складываю по собственной прихотливости - или же позволяю ему складываться самостоятельно. такая вот активная позиция обесценивает "индукцию" (обрати внимание на кавычки)

Date: 2003-12-07 09:12 am (UTC)Со вторым моментом сложнее, надо смотреть на разных уровнях (бесконечном числе?), или хотя бы на бесконечных отражениях между двумя уровнями. На первом уровне ты хозяин, потому что выбираешь, складывать мир или давать ему волю сложиться (to emerge). Если ты даешь волю сложиться, то на втором уровне ты не-хозяин. Но заглядывая дальше, когда складывается - оно складывается для тебя, и с твоим участием (т.е. "тобой") - опять получается хозяин :-) Активность и пассивность вместе.

Date: 2003-12-07 09:30 am (UTC)тут тоже получается чуть другая картина, если позиция - самурайская
потому что самураю - ему нужная информация в нужное время приходит. он так среду организовал, что ему не нужны блокноты, пометки, базы данных и прочие вещи. если ему вдруг нужен какой-то забытый ресурс - он может ему найти. а новая информация его находит прямо-таки сама
вот и получается
что река, прорва
усохла до ручейка
а эффект не то, что уменьшился - увеличился :)

у меня сильно развиты ассоциативные механизмы
но аналитически голова мыслить почти не умеет
даже более того - делает это куда хуже средней статистики
но как-то ничего страшного в том нет :) в голове действительно полный бардак, но я прекрасно в этом бардаке ориентируюсь :)
