WHAT DO YOU SEE?

WHAT DO YOU SEE?

 

The Question?

Let us start with the question. While we were a child we used to ask a lot of questions. The life was an un-ending series of questions. Then we were much closer to the natural self; the way He had made us. And as the time passed, gradually we (the material X, Y, Z…N) turned out to be as acted upon by the parents, the society and the environments. And this process continued to shape us. Here is something very fundamental, either to agree with me or not to. To me, the change is perpetual, it is never ending; it is from Him, the Creator. It could be for better or worse, very slow; slow to very fast…of course choice rests with His viceroy. Do you know him? Many; a large majority may not agree out of tiredness, despair and for never exploring who they were….thus thinking to be and becoming their own god; the injured, wounded, handicapped, sick and 65 years old god. They think this is the best they could do, and that’s it. They cannot improve nor do any better, now. And due to such inhibitions most of them even resist to grow. To them they had grown, and growth was a function of youth, therefore no more.

To me it all depends what you can see, and what is hidden, what you are blind to, oblivious and you think beyond you.

Are you ready to enjoy it? May this study help you to improve your eye-sight?

The Diagram

This diagram, above is one representation of an aspect of life. It is the diagrammatic, iconic and symbolic model to do the experiment. It is to measure,

what you see, how much can you see, and how deep and far can you see, whether, in the past or the future. There is a road marked with (kilometer) milestones. One arrow shows forward and the other backwards indicating the directions in life, while you stand at a pint. You have seen these things in past, and are familiar with. This road you have travelled in the past. Those at the 0 KM are looking backwards, and trying to see, what all they could, and how deep. It was at a, and for a fixed moment in time. It is not what they saw at different timings. We all; the readers, are being represented by these three only.

I know by our age groups and other sub-classifications and parameters we could be put in to two dozen of categories.  And by number we could be 30 million or 300 million or 3 billion. Let us focus on the rule(s) and the principle(s) and the values, to be more benevolent in the life yet to be spent.

The Past and Future

These three Mr. A, Ms. B and Mr. C when they turned their necks to future, they again saw very different from each other and to vastly varying depths in time. And one of them saw something new as well, never seen, devised and named before. Very much like, ‘shirt’, was never there, never named and used at one time, like, an ‘aircraft’, a ‘laptop’, a ‘mouse’, a ‘remote sensor’, a ‘laser gun’, an ‘arterial stunt’, a ‘synthetic heart valve’ or a filter placed in veins to stop the blood clots. New things could be as small as a zipper, and as big as a new country. Please rest assure there was a time when there was no Pakistan, even the name never existed. Morrow will be a new day for those who can mend on yesterday, can see something new. Majority will be very happy and satisfied when they have to repeat yesterday, devoid of any new problem, new challenge and new troubles to face and find solution(s) to…

 

Answer to the Question

 

When all three standing at 0 Km were asked to report what do they see, and how far these things are, their replies were; same have been tabulated below.

Representative Person	What all is Seen	Seen up to which Distance
Mr. A	A cat crossing the road A man carrying a tray full of food Rest the Road is all empty, there is nothing.	I do not know 500 M
Miss B	A dog, and ahead of it a puppy. There is no cat. A bicycle rider, a young man in his mid-twenties or early thirties. A rickshaw (cheng-chi) and a Hiace, later is over-taking the tri-cycle.	Around 1 km   At a Km and a little plus.   2 Km
Mr. C	A bus, looks like a huge bus, or a long vehicle and a tractor with a trolley. Five motor-cycles, two of them racing, looks like youngsters.  The racers could create problem. Four cars, three small, and one looks like a Prado or Land Cruiser. 4 or 5 cyclists. All looks like office going employees.	Around 5 Km or a little over.     Between 4th and 3rd km.   Spread over between 3rd & 1st km.     Around 1 km and may be closer.

 

A Concluding Summary

The exercise and the experiment or the imaginative case study can be summarized as under.

< >What some see, like a cat, others find it to be a dog.  None could see a cat. What one sees, no else finds it in life, e.g., only one spotted a man with a tray full of food. Others were blind to it, or it never fell in their priorities.Some had no idea or perception of distance. They remained oblivious to it…and never bothered about multiple parameters of different things.For some road of life was serene, no issues at all. Had no demands and no challenges. If they could have food, sleep well, and wrap them in right clothes for summers and winters; nothing else was required. Some could see who was overtaking whom. How those over speeding could be menace. And therefore something was required to be done in advance.There could be more conclusions, more inferences can be drawn. However, keeping the list short, let us turn towards future.

 

Future

The future could be very interesting, adventurous and full of opportunities for some. These some are those who see a lot, much different than how their parents and people of previous generation saw. They look back not to repeat yesterday. And of course there are those, who find the easiest, most proven and tested solution in yesterday. May I submit, after years of testing and collection of data, I found girls to be 80% of their mothers. I thought boys would be about 20% of their fathers; no my hypothesis was   proven wrong; they were at best 10% of their fathers. Some were anti-fathers; about 2 %.

Conclusion

I have said almost all under this title, with relevant and partial conclusions at the end of each sub-head. May you see more, fog reduced, with all relevant parameters and helping to shape you a better future. Sure when I am made to face new questions and asked for clarifications and explanations, I will do better, yield better and deliver to be more benevolent.
