Facts, context, multi-dimensional, limitations of planning,

 

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.
