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.
And thus their Ego will start developing defense mechanisms to solve this conflict which too will be at an alarming volume, to solve each of these conflicts.
And if this person was engaged in communications with any sophisticated individual, then he will be presenting himself as an extremely predictable person who cannot handle the things at hand and will automatically become a puppet of the sophisticated individual. This is the way most current world leaders are born I guess.
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.

The same of us also know that in practicality, each individual has an existing limit which hinders every dream or goals he/she sets, because the potential needed has not been explored, trained in or otherwise, activated yet.
Therefore, we have an understanding of considering the "Activated Potential" only (and sometimes immediately activatable potential also) while creating any kind of operations design for any business.
Are you a one-human army? I heard the creator of Blogger.com had to be a one-man army after his partners left.
Even Zatoichi considered the concept of one-man army possible only for short period, after which one has to recharge.
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..
For the productive people, this state of static time is a strange memory that lasts for very long time. Because that is the pause between their final activities and the intended result emergence.
People feel this before they get the prestigious awards also. Ofcourse if the award is not for them, then this state of static time maybe completely forgotten.
To cover all aspects, one must also mention the people who are unproductive even within their own definition of productivity. For them, this state of static time is a perpetual truth that they are totally comfortable with but have to get out off, inorder to achieve anything at all.
I intend to one day elaborate more on this and possibly deduce some things. Maybe. Did you experience anything like it so far? Ofcourse, no point in commenting here, this is a ghost town, not as big as Google+ though. But do share the thoughts, after all I am a lonely ghost hosting this place for time unknown.
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.
