Proofs

"To realize something, I need a proof for the same. A solid proof."
"Really? Do you realize that the Pythagorean theorem is true, i.e., the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides in a right triangle?"
"Yes, I realize, I know a simple proof which was given by Pythagoras."
"Ok. Do you need a proof for the statement 'To err is human'?"
"I believe in it without a proof as we cannot avoid some such postulates."
"Then, it might be the case that you made a mistake in understanding the 'wrong' proof given by Pythagoras."
"Wrong proof!? It is a well known simple proof and even if I understood it wrongly, the proof is correct for sure."
"But anybody can make a mistake - Pythagoras, all the academicians and even every human being!"
"I see your point. But then we can noway absolutely be sure that a statement is true or false."
"I would rather say there is no 'absolute correctness'."

Crossing the Duna

There is only one real way 
to cross the mighty Duna: 
To swim across.

The fight

She woke up very late in a weekend morning. Then it came to her as a revelation that the only fight being fought in this universe is between the order and the disorder. Mesmerized by this thought she slept for some more time.

Dream #62 - Tooth brush

[This is a dream I had in the night before last.]

I was brushing my teeth. In the middle, I kept the brush near wash basin and went somewhere just for a few minutes. When I came back to continue brushing, I saw a man and a woman there. The man was brushing using my brush. He realized the same and left the brush there and went away.

Dream #61 - Mangoes

[This is a dream I had last night.]

I was walking along a road. Then I saw a woman and one or two kids trying to throw stones to get mangoes from a mango tree. I decided to help them. I feared of throwing stones since the kids were around. I saw a long rod with a knife attached to one end. I took it to pluck the mangoes. Then I realized that there are electric lines going through the bunch of mangoes and it is dangerous to use the rod. Then one of my teachers came that way. He understood the situation. I moved to find a better tool to get the mangoes. I came back with something or nothing. I saw that most of the mangoes were plucked out. My teacher did it for them. The mangoes left in the tree were in a beautiful pattern - with same distance between pairs of mangoes. I was a bit ashamed that I couldn't do it. I thought of helping them by plucking the rest of the mangoes. Then I realized that leaving a few mangoes in the tree was purposeful.

Apparently

Apparently, one has a beginning and an end. Then it is redundant to say that he does not exist before the beginning and after the end. He changes over time where the time is something easy to perceive and difficult to explain. It is like a flow. And he flows with it as another flow - a flow within a flow. There is a surrounding which affects him. It includes the ideas he comes across and the things
with and without life where life is another thing which is easy to perceive and difficult to explain. He has a set of desired contexts and undesired contexts. These sets changes over time. For example, sometimes he likes to drink coffee and sometimes not. Apparently, it is desirable to be in the desired context and undesirable to be in the undesirable context. It is not that he is a single unit of existence. There are multiple forces inside him - like flows withing a flow - each of them has a different sets of desirable and undesirable contexts. Then there are actions which happens as a result of a win of a prominent force in him. He either drinks coffee or not. Apparently, not both. He has a mind - another thing equally difficult to explain but easy to perceive. And he has a body, which is apparently more tangible. Apparently, they are like two ends of a string. It is difficult to comprehend the end of the body and the beginning of the mind. Though more tangible, similar is the difficulty to perceive the end of him and the beginning of another. He witness changes in his body and mind which he knows, apparently, leads to the extinction of both - which is an undesired context in general.

It is apparently quite difficult if not impossible to be in the desired context always. Thus, he ends up in undesirable contexts more often than not. This has a piling-up effect on him which is undesirable. Sometimes he tries to empty the set of undesirable contexts and fill the set of desirable contexts. To his dismay, this brings quite a lot new undesirable contexts. He finds that emptying the undesired set must accompany emptying the desired set, which is like detaching himself from his surroundings or being the whole.
