While the sun was going down , i motored up to within few nautical miles
of my mind island, Well, its just a sunset(is it? i thought to myself).

Perspectives in long term become ideas. Its a overused term these
days, it has become something petite and “just”, may be thats the way
it’s just supposed to be.How often we hear -”good and bad is relative”,
yet we find that the statement is a technique, usually suit yourself style of doing things,as long as
we are uneffected by the “goods” and “bads”.

In a bid to find a simple answer to a complex situation called life, we(presumed) do stumble upon
lot of perspectives , some of which develop into ideas and some remain as
perspectives.Even the divinest of the philosophies are unbecoming when
kept under the radar- “its the way we see it”.

Since perspectives are based on experiences, im not sure if perspectives are chosen or they just are. If we ask for them ,we might try them before we think its getting a bit confusing and get back to older ways  or we may harbour a particular idea(still is a perspective) for sometime before it is replaced by another. Experiences give no guarantee of a necessary connection to the past, such is the nature of  human beings that we develop habits of invariably expecting effect to follow upon cause.(I was shocked to read such a thing Aristole “Poetics” sometime back, modesty please !!).

Its something like listening to 2 channel soundtrack in a ipod, shifting the earplugs  between right and left ear seems to change the way we understand a tune. The whole tune seems to have a new meaning, whether the new one is a better one is again based on how we perceive a particular situation/event.

Paulgraham tells us “java is not so good”, osho says his is the only truth , jeffrey zeldman says ajax is still a problem, JD says theres no route map to reach destination, I say T20 is not cricket.  (As i write this in my gmail box, google even seems to understand my mind, it has “ads” of a honeymoon package to hawaii, Do you want to be a Enterpreneur? and Enterprise AJAX for developers).

Fact that there are billions of people living in this world and fact that everyone seems to some common ground is amazing. But the whole confidence of “My Perspective” seems a bit overvalued these days. “just a perspective” slowly seems to sink into ourselves before it is “measured” and “valued”.

Worst part about human perspectives is that “object” of reference doesnt remain the same(as it does mostly in physics), and what we see can be deceptive(its is sometimes in physics too). example, unused for useless, ignorance for bliss, plagiarism for inspiration(vice versa), emotions for desires, acceptance for morality, justice for numbers ,beauty for looking good, love for carnal pleasures, reading for knowledge and scriptures for wisdom.

Can we hold perspectives but still do what is supposedly “best” that should be done? That way we can retain the beauty of differences, leave scope for change, and still not have very basic differences in the way we perceive things. Can we be wise, or atleast give way to the “wise” ? A quick perspective on a person who owns this article may be “thinks too much”, quite true as it is, the need for thought is situational, need is sometimes “demanded” , not necessary sometimes, but we need a aggregator of “views” if we want a change in current non-homeostatic ways of living life.

Im fighting myself as to what should i call this essay,”a perspective”,  “musings” or a denitive task aimed at disentangling a nerve ending of mine, i think this is just a intial  draft which needs to be re-written/updated as and when my “perspectives” apply.
