There exists a great chasm between people to people, on one
side, who relate everything to a single, universal, organizing principle
in terms of which alone all that they are and say has
significance--and, on the other side, those who pursue many ends.Their thoughts are scattered or
diffused, moving on many levels, seizing upon the essence of a vast
variety of experiences and objects for what they are in themselves,
without, consciously or unconsciously.
All meanings, we know, depend on the key of interpretation.
~ George Elliot.
Its all there in what one thinks at individual level.Thinking which is more like an abstract painting, with all sorts of scrambled shapes and colors emerging from those peculiar personal semantics whose significations are different for everyone.
Devil is here.
No, its not.
Its there.
Where it is ?
Is it there in details ??
or there in those nanny tales ??
I say nay.
It's not
anywhere.
Its there
in the gray matter.
splattered across the walls
walls of..
Sophisticated trained
altered -brains.
Biased, tainted
painted they are
with atypical
renditions n restrains.
Aye or Nay
But things were
never black n white
they were always
Gray.
Fuzzy logic
all the way.
every one got
a different say.
Devil is here. 
Too many shades of grey and only a few white and black like fuzzy logic, agree:)
ReplyDeletei say toe-may-to you say tah-mah-to...i could not live in a world without grey....the polarized opinions always lead to exclusion...
ReplyDeleteTrue.... Nice Thought
ReplyDeleteLogic can be skewed indeed, so in the details we must delve.
ReplyDeleteAn erudite piece of writing. "Munde munde matirbhinnaa" thus goes a Sanskrit saying meaning that every mind has its own interpretation of the things -reality or truth.But truth is always one and same -Upnishads say "Ekam sat vipraah bahudha vadanti" -Truth remains one and same but knowledgeable ones proclaim it differently! But seeing differently is also very important and significant as this act helps to the realization of truth-Vaade Vaade Jaayate Tatvabodhah -Differences in the perceptions and opinions of many pave the way to reaching to the ultimate truth. Your post is in continuation to solving this riddle which has puzzled our sages since time immemorial. Great going Jyoti...

ReplyDeleteJyoti,
ReplyDeleteNo two persons think absolutely alike. Each has own way of thinking but one should not be adamant that he or she is only one who is right.
Take care
ohhh that s with fragrance of Milton's Paradise Lost...
ReplyDeletenice work
That's right, Jyoti! Everyone has got his say, the way he wants. Nice thoughts Ma'am!

ReplyDeletevery well written... and surely devil is present in each one of us... only difference is amount and intensity ...
ReplyDeleteOk,this is different and very nice.It's really not in details,it's gray!
ReplyDeleteAye or Nay
ReplyDeleteBut things were
never black n white
they were always
Gray.
Fuzzy logic
all the way.
every one got
a different say.
awesome........of course the things looks the way, we want to see them!
"What is life all about?" and "What is the meaning of it all?" It has been the subject of much philosophical, scientific, and theological speculation throughout ...
ReplyDeleteVery well written,Jyoti.
ReplyDeleteYou are a very good philosopher.
Excellent piece of work! I was just pondering over this topic the last few weeks and thinking about perspectives and how some people are very strong in their principles whereas there are some who keep an open mind and interpret things differently at different occasions. Sometimes I find it hard to remember that different situation may not get the same perspective when apply the same concepts. However, with the multitude of scenarioes, I get confused at times. How would you deal with it?
