Life Turns Today

Working in the morning. Relaxing in the evening. Repeating it until life's end. Some people seem to keep on going this way. But different people have different objectives. Its all a big ocean of currents and ripples that change everybody.

He sat there in the sofa facing the city through the glass wall from the 73rd floor that his apartment was. A version of Mozart's Symphony 9 played in the 7.2.4 Dolby Atmos Surround sound system in his room. Having achieved the peak of the economic status reachable, he can have everything and grab anything he wanted. But "The best things in life are free.", a simple yet powerful phrase, rang through his mind.

He thought, "I no longer want to live this way!".

The reality of the world is that it will not give the truest purpose to anybody except those who seek for it. And then keep seeking for it. And then they will have to surpass all the fake purposes and propaganda presented by many fraud schools of thoughts.

He was Zatoichi's closest friend.

The fist that rose to the sky was suppressed by the authoritative force of the military regime.
Once the fist went down injured, a thunder was heard and then the regime realized that they were mistaking a thundercloud for an air puff

Alas to their mistakes!

The thundercloud is now rising from its invisible scattered state. And then the lightning will strike, which they think will still not fire.

The portrait lay hanging on the wall and they stared at it for a long time. No words were uttered. The air conditioning of the room was keeping their minds cool. With the comfort they build within them and the tension they caused around them was all contributing to how the story of the picture in front of them was unfolding.

To many the scene of the two tycoons staring at the wall maybe very inspiring as to how educated their mind is in art. But the truth was, it really didnt matter, they couldn't spot neither the brush bristles nor the signature. All they knew was what the broker told them.

"This piece is going to gain a million dollar once the news of next Art Basel is out."

People who have to take lots of decisions at a fast pace, if they don't have the base for what it takes to achieve their targets, will not be able to sustain the conflict of their Superego and Id.

Really, what is feeling you get when you are surprised? Probably frightened? Probably happy? Probably it was a funny surprise and hit a nerve of your humor sense and you start laughing? (Some people laugh at frightening things also, Zatoichi for example.)

Despite the title, I have nothing much to impart except these obvious questions. After all asking questions is the starting point of things. And starting many things is what Zatoichi did at an early age.

I myself, very much like to surprise people. Especially those who hate me. Its really nice to see the expression they have in their face when they start realizing their hatred was for nothing.

Surprising investors needs a non-flamboyant personality, which is tough to achieve for the only starting out so-called entrepreneurs. But its very easy for me. As the librarian for Zatoichi's archives, entrepreneurship is not my cup of tea.

The position that doctors, engineers or other high appreciated professionals occupy in the society right now is going to be replaced by influences, since they make a lot more money than others with lesser relative effort and time.

I don't believe that can actually become the norm in a sustainable economy, because, in the end the consumers of the contents produced by influencers need to be living their own sustained life. Just by becoming a netizen will not prove to be a sustainable lifestyle. Even those who earn from internet well, usually travel and interact with the real world.

Ofcourse the current society maybe able to accommodate an x percent share of the population as influencers. But the competition will become fiercer, and a threshold will have to be reached inorder to maintain the sustainability of the society.

Oh and yes, the society takes a step back to the sustainable model. Just like how wars are engaged to dethrone powerful feudalists. colonialists, plutocrats, etc, and the society will recognize the absence of genuinity, that is if the world lasts that long to see such a day.

One day, one thought, one action. This is all that is necessary to break down every psychological boundaries set by psychoanalysis. As fancy and scientific the term "psychoanalysis" may sound, it is simply a virtual creation to explain the reality of human actions. This is clear from the fact that Freud called some of his derivations, the "Psychic Apparatus".

Whatever the case, one thing is very clear, psychology will help to understand humans from past behavioral patterns. But will never be able to predict completely what a sophisticated human will do next. Especially those that have the complete understanding of the current psychology principles as well as their own findings from their innate understanding of fellow human beings and themselves.

Sigmund Freud founded psychoanalysis. While people of tradition had their own ways to analyse people and a childs growth, Freud turned it into the first scientific derivations. But in modern reality, the Freudian Psychology is a highly unscientific, due to the fact that Freud studied his few patients and himself to base his theories, which makes a global generalization very biased. All the same, the surface theories he made did lay the foundation for multiple fields in Psychology as a whole.

We take for granted now, the existence of a subconscious, the existence of a passive mind and that the childhood events shape the future of his/her adult life.

But without these connections, most of current psychology principles would not exist.

Freudian parts of human psychology

Freudian Defense Mechanisms created by "Ego" to mediate the conflicts presented by "Id" and "Super Ego"

All true-to-themselves entrepreneurs have space in their consciousness to agree atleast partly with the phrase "Passive Human Potential Is Limitless". Therefore the concept of one man army is always possible. 

Everyone have an aura.
Some are not visible, and some are visible.
Some are light, some are dark.
Some are powerful, some are faded.
Some are forgiving, some are not.

The utensil sat there in the sink for a very long time. Until one day the only living being in the apartment realised that it will not wash itself.

I remember walking in the cold of November
Hoping that I make it to the end of December
Twenty-seven years and the end of my mind, but
Holding to the thought of another time, but
Looking to the ways of the ones before me
Looking for the path of the young and lonely
I don't want to hear about what to do

This is a real dilemma, to be elaborated soon. How soon you ask? Very soon is the typical answer a humming bird gives to Mongolian sky breeze..

Atleast once, in most people's life, there is a time when they don't do anything but wait, wait for the results.

There are two actions that give meaning to a life. Ofcourse not diabolically or set in stone as much as the parables, but just the two cents imparted by a tired busy man.

The first is, getting things done.

And second is setting higher journey points.

Whether reachable or not is an entirely different matter as it depends on the individual's capacity to predict and value in all factors involved.

The first one is the dull and directly opposite part of the second. Even if we set achievable aim, when such an aim is set in the dull environment of actually getting things done, the actual vantage point is always less.

That is why the highly getting shit done people still have to turn to the visionaries or the energetic newest intern in the team.

But ofcourse a very small percent of the total workforce have mastered the art of which to focus when, and in what ratio. And therefore they usually reach the top faster.

Mastering the ration mixing of these two actions are the fundamental basics in the life of survivors who rely on, but also push the limits of, their survival instincts a lot more than the majority rest of the people.

Therefore, they have what is now getting popularly known as "grit".

In fact the earth do not have any roads or plain areas. Because when a person decides to walk through a path, and people seem to find it interesting and follow it, that is how a road is formed.

After all, most people have a lot of roads in front of them to follow because human civilizations has been evolving for more than 10,000 years so its obvious that there are already lots of ways formed. But the question is can new ways still be formed?

Some people play the game to be first, and think why play a game when you cant be the first? Such people always create new ways. Whether it becomes a dead end, is an entirely different story.

But just considering the current business transaction environments of our society, there are around 50 million total companies in the world. So if we look at the emerging ecosystems of startups and innovations including pivoting of large corporations, we can see new way is already being formed at an alarming rate. why else would we  be awaiting singularity now?

Coming to the point, new way can still be found with the same old classic struggles faced by people of any era. Just that the pieces on the board and the rules for their movement are different. But the inherent combination of core choices one have to make are the same throughout time.

A guy lived in the stone age.

This is the story of Zatoichi, the blind man who lived from 1996 to 2030.

Having achieved a variety of talents and attributions in life, and being renowned for some of the greatest ideas and methodologies that were incited into the ignition points of complex machinery of the modern society, he was the epitome of futurologists of his era.

Even though the world knew who he was, what the world really did not know was the exact amount of power and throne strings he had weaved into the world. I, a mere curious author, only know some of the secrets during the time I worked as the chief archive curator for his massive underground library. Most those works were to be burned the moment Zatoichi ceases to exist. And burn it I did.

This is the story of one of the momentary instances of growth illumination Zatoichi had during a fine November evening of 2019. Being only 22 years of age, he had already managed to initiate multiple agendas that would propagate perpetually to the societies of the world, hitting its intended targets decades later, some of which we all witnessed during the revelations of 2034 data leak.

He sat that evening, looking at the enormous skylines in front of him. Only one thought lured in his mind. What is the fastest way to achieve multiple objectives which all require the support of human interactions? After emptying the tea pot that carried enough tea to fill eight tea cups, he came to the conclusion and marked it in his journal.

I happened to find this journal during my struggles as a curator, looking for citations and trails left behind by other trails and finally by mistake, entered the forbidden deeper section of the library.

His conclusion from that November evening read like this, "Look at everything objectively. Leave every emotions behind, except for the necessary acting needed when negotiating with human beings.".

To think the outside world had no idea of this! I went to sleep really perplexed that day. But more things were revealed during my 3 years as Zatoichi's archive curator, things that are nothing compared to what I have revealed to the audience now.

Bye people of the world. I may come back again if time allows and I find myself overwhelmed with all the history I buried.

Alibaba got listed in Hong Kong yesterday (26.Nov.2019). It is the largest listing this year. +$11 Billion capital was raised. Obviously the American markets unpredictability is being bypassed here.

Becoming average is one thing, becoming a loser is a different thing, but being the first in what you do, is highly a necessity. If you can't be first ever, why play? Find another game or create your own. ;)

But I often see people not playing the game because they don't believe they can do it. And I personally don't do average level motivation-ing and end up saying "Yeah, You can do it if you try?!" or something like "Nobody knows anything on the first step, do they?" and the rest of the mambo jumbo you hear every where nowadays. I know people who sleep all day and still listen to this.

What I propose, is only for those who already have got their reasons to live a short life and take risks. And no, this don't end up with me suggesting to ending our lives earlier than it is meant to be. What I propose, like the Black Adder played by Rowan Atkinson, is that we need a practical plan more than a cunning one. 

Was thinking about going to the moon a practical one? No, obviously not at first, but after many dreams later to go to the moon, came the many cunning plans to make it happen and then, only after many errors and failures, only then did we finally find the practical plan to actually reach there.

Oh God, this is turning into another story about fake Edison! Which means its time for me to stop the scripting of this short monologue, and name it a "modern sonnet" and say our good byes to each other.

Good Bye. There you go.

P.S: I personally don't wish to live long if I can't achieve anything, such a thought, I presume will be a blatant blow to the lives of the many who sleep all day for 7 days a week and still is not in coma.
