Reflections
My mother placed me in an educational institution when I was five, and I remained in one ever since! However, much learning is available away from organised set-ups. Sharing experiences is a wonderful human activity.
Eloquent silence.
Say it loud:”It is all in the
mind !”
Noise is sometimes
unbearable. So is silence.
The reference is not to
environments with a high degree of decibles. But it refers to long and
interminable periods of time when people are exposed to lengthy and tiresome
presentations of “facts” that appear so to the authors. But in actual fact they
may be very far from the truth. Truth itself is an elusive commodity. No one on
earth, neither in to-day’s environment or in the past, was clever enough to
come up with a satisfactory answer. Truth is often subject to perceptions and
bias.
On the other hand, keeping
mum limits the semination of ideas, it restricts the spectrum of arguing. On
top of all some believe that silence is consent. This dilemma is only managed
by the expression of beliefs divested from prejudice, bias and shades of
meaning. Innuenendos do not help at all. One can give different meanings to the
same stated statement. In fact the moment a statement is made, especially in
writing, it opens a sesame for interpretations. One can say a lot of things
only by inference.
Say it loud, “It’s all in the
mind.”
