Thought of the Day: Perception

we always let existing perception gets the better of our judgement-- stereotyping others.

seek to understand

to truly live a life that is worthwhile...

define worthwhile.
define truly living a life that is worthwhile.
it will always come back to "individual experience" and "individual perception"..
to you, something that is worth doing and believing may never be understand and acceptable to other people.
but what is more important is, you understand your own life that you are leading.
when i say understand, i mean really understand.
and before you understand your own life, you have to know what life is all about.
for some people they say "i know what i am doing". well, do you?
"You must understand the whole of life, not just one little part of it."
you can not based on the little parts that you know about life to evaluate what is worthwhile and what's not.
by knowing more, you will be better at evaluating what kind of life truly suits you.
That is why you must read, that is why you must look at the skies, that is why you must sing and dance, and write poems and suffer and understand, for all that is life.

Chosen Quotes to share with... (THREE)

A consistent thinker is a thoughtless person, because he conforms to a pattern; he repeats phrases and thinks in a groove.
-Jiddu Krishnamurti

---------------------------
my interpretation...

unless you see things in different perspective, but not in a linear fashion, you won't be able to get to think effectively. you never cease to think, however, it your thinking constructive? or are they just thoughts, that are not beneficial in a way because it will never instigate you to take constructive actions? thinking linear in one certain pattern will not be helpful to generate ideas..

we are never complete

we are afraid of being lonely.. hence we always find things to fill up our lives. so that we feel... fulfilled. just a theory though.

but, between the lines, there's just some realness.. when we feel that we have nothing to do, we always end up with something to do. to think deeper though, all the things that we do to fill out our loneliness, are they meaningful enough to fill our life?

see this in another light.. everything that we have done, have its consequences, may it good or bad. meaningful or not, it's another case.. something that we do might not enhancing our knowledge, or wisdom, but perhaps it brings certain happiness into our lives, or into your friends' lives.

there's a theory that saying "why running away from loneliness? why not just stay there and face it and try to understand loneliness?"~~~

haha, this gets my head spinning..

we run away from loneliness coz we are afraid of being lonely. why are we afraid of being lonely?

we are afraid of being lonely becoz we likes to communicate with one another.

why do we communicate then? so that we can understand more about this world. we can't really totally understand our world even until the end of our lives. hence we are all eager to know more about this world through the lens of other people. because our perspectives are limited.

oh yeah.. don't get all serious with "i know that" "i understand that" "i have totally achieve this, i am thus complete".. no, you dun know at all. all that we perceive is only part of the whole. there's more that we have not yet explore.

each of us see things differently, which some of us frequently see some parts of the truth and others see the other parts of the whole.

we are never complete.
