Snippets of little blog thoughts

So, many blog posts have been on my mind -- but I am trying to keep my life in balance and do some disciplined work towards professional happiness as well.

Well, the first blog snippet on my mind: Communication is key, they say... but what does it unlock really? What is locked up? It might be simple and obvious to some, but I realize more and more how unique and deep each human experience is. We may have some sense of what the other person is going through, in terms of their body language, some basic signals etc. But we really have no idea. We have no idea what someone's story is. What is truly going on deep inside? Some of this can only be unlocked with communication.

It's amazing because I think communication requires faith. It requires that people believe that benefits of doing so will outweigh costs. This isn't always easy to do. Relying on probabilities, which are generally based on past experiences can hinder new growth.

It is so powerful for us to share who we are with each other, no matter how scary or unpromising the result may seem ex-ante - I am pretty sure that it is almost always rewarding later. My commitment toward self-expression continues as I revel in its fruits.


The next blog snippet: A thought on my mind, shared by a revered and loved one: "...A real Master is an awakener.."

Blog snippet 3: ...can emotions be a mechanism through which we achieve partial time travel? Ever listened to a song and it takes you truly way back in your past?

Some queries:

~Does love breed love?~
~How do you interact with people with blocked hearts?~ Do you wait for them to open their doors? Do you leave? Do you tell them about their heart condition? Or do you close yours?
~How do you forgive someone for not knowing what they cannot yet know and may never get to know?~
~Do people ever change or truly transform their deep views about life? If so, what stimulus is needed for this to happen? Isn't our choice of external stimulus constantly correlated with who we are deep down? So, are we all destined to live out our deepest initial views of the world?
~Do you reach down in hopes of helping those below you, or do you reach forward/upward to improve yourself? What is the right balance? Is it worth bending downward and backward? Is it selfish to leave behind the people you love?

Tell me. Talk to me. Where are you? Where is your heart? Who are you? Do we know each other? Are we related?
