RECOUNTING HISTORY: THE CHRONOLOGY OF PAST EXPERIENCES
>> Sunday, 23 January 2011
When I was a child, I viewed the world in a telescope full of possibilities. The word Impossible was alien to me. I was a captive of my own belief and lived in an island of self delusion. I rumbled and babbled, and expected the whole world to listen and comprehend. Even when the world cannot figure out what I meant, I expected my concerns to be addressed. I never knew and for that reason did not believe in work and earn, Invest and gain nor sow and reap. On the contrary, I shared the lifestyle of the chicken that messes up the earth with the mouth after eating without showing gratitude but irksomely announces its presence at dawn by vociferously crowing ostensibly to remind its masters of their responsibilities for the day.
The passage of time somehow altered my telescopic view of the world and the dynamics of nature. These dynamics of nature gave me an expansive view of a world not only of possibilities but possibilities with responsibilities. I realized that the world of possibilities is a theory of the mind, and assuming responsibilities of the mind of Ideas, thoughts and beliefs is a collaboration of the movement of the self to act on what is conceived. I observed that possibilities (state of the mind) and responsibilities (self actuating) could work in partnership to achieve a desired and common enterprise. I have come to reckon that, even a sole personality cannot function successfully if it operates in a vacuum. Consequently, I made a resolution to upgrade the mind and self based on my new conviction of life.
