Very
sensible. Important points that he makes . Precisely, the ones that I always
hold as inevitable components of any activity. In fact, I have written multiple
write ups on each word he uses because they touch upon and try to see facts
honestly without any adulteration.
The following
are inevitable features.
1. It must be
'contextually relevant ' or ' the context decides it'.
2. There
are no one size fit all quick fixes or panacea to the entire gamut of any issue
, much less all issues.
3. Unidimensional
or unidirectional or predetermined or even dichotomous or specific/ pet
ideology driven frames of references to perceive anything and worse still, use
them as a tool to solve problems or roll out policies will be met with
hurdles.
4.Anything
and everything, if not many things, are multi- dimensional. Each dimension
having its own dynamics. The interactions or interrelatedness of various
dimensions create more/ further dimensions/ dynamics which may have evolved
beyond and besides expected lines/ outcomes.
5. Planning,
preparedness and predictions have their own inherent limitations as well as the
limiting factors that evolve as things unfold.
6. This is
where I think we need to understand that irrespective of any claims or counter
claims most domains operate as things happen in nature i.e., everything
evolves gradually, incrementally, spontaneously, or disruptively and change is
inevitable, and flexibility alone is not enough it requires fine tuning as per
emerging or evolving situations and conditions.
Few aspects of perspectives in terms of
Philosophy of life may be as follows. First, we all must at least accept one
thing that LIFE is live and therefore constantly evolving and must be
experienced on the move.
It is neither a pass it on baton nor it has
‘pause button’.
Life is jigsaw puzzle with multiple pieces at
our disposal, but which are constantly moving with which we presume that we are
supposed to figure out an unmapped atlas. Therefore, obviously the task becomes
too daunting.
So, we resort to conceptualize an atlas
in a broad canvass and try to draw our own maps each according to one’s
perspective, mostly determined by contexts, conveniences and concomitant
relevance based on confirmation biases and belief systems.
Therefore, life has no panacea and as
whole eludes any specific over simplistic prescriptions of ideology or ism
purely because nothing is static about life. To put it differently life
is a constant churning process. Wherein, we neither decide the
cauldron or the ingredients; nor are we even sure of the size or material with
which the kirn–staff or churning stick is made of.
However, human life ( unlike other species
whose reference manual of how to live is supposedly possible only through
inherited instincts and genetic memory) has an additional advantage of recorded
retrievable knowledge bank of multiple experiences of life lived through
different periods of time in the past.
It is precisely for these reasons that we
cannot deny or defy the importance of any incident, issue, information, idea,
instant, individual, interlinked innumerable aspects of life’s journey.
The use of conscious
awareness and reason enables and enhances the evaluation of multitude of
options, rather than binding one with blinkers to view only at certain things
from specific perspectives.
Every life primarily
wants to survive and live physically and then explore multitude of options to
live a life through and beyond the physical realms. This process tries, toys with, and uses
various concepts, philosophical approaches and scientific knowledge and
technological tools etc.
So, if we try to
oversimplify life into any category or classification; through any ideological
or identity-based ghettoes ; attempting to suggest any homogenized
prescriptions, then, in all these cases our understanding of splendour of
life’s harmony and the harmony of living will both get distorted.
Meaning of Life is the
result of churning of the outer world by the inner self or the way inner self
relates with the outer world in all its multiple manifestations.
So, ‘meaning of life’ is
neither predefined and nor, fortunately, patented and therefore cannot be
prescribed as ‘such and such’ with a definite label.
