When people interpret situations, it is always based on something.

Evil is ever changing. Though not into good, rather to some different form.

Not perfect, just right instead

I came across a blog about data science once that promoted perfection. Below it was a comment that promoted making mistakes as a better way instead.

Neither is right. Perfect is not in anyone's reach, and mistakes shouldn't be feared.

Aiming to get things "just right" is key and a pragmatic way towards excellence.

The ability to explain things that way is a craft.

I call it the scientific method.

World may sometimes seem strange. This feeling often arises from two main reasons: from our lack of understanding or because the reality extends beyond human comprehension.

Cuando me hablan de #poesia yo pienso automáticamente en Nietzsche y en los atardeceres rojos de Andalucía. "En algún punto perdido del universo, cuyo resplandor se extiende a innumerables sistemas solares, hubo una vez un astro en el que unos animales inteligentes inventaron el conocimiento. Fue aquél el instante más mentiroso y arrogante de la historia universal." 📍 Friedrich Nietzsche. Sobre verdad y mentira en sentido extramoral #phototraveling #poetry #traveladdict #philoshophy #atarceder #andalucia #salobreña #granada

So it goes.

Stands in Slaughterhouse five,

A book by Kurt Vonnegut.

Alas, Kurt is not any longer alive,

But the book we still have - and that's good.

Some things pass quickly, some take their time,

Like rythmic poetry with a good rhyme.

I hope that humanity,

in this "passing" matter,

Will not be much like the first

but more like the latter.

This Too Shall Pass - poem by Paroma Sen

Memory Classroom

A very interesting phenomenon happened to me last day. Well, I was trying to remember a certain date which I've been writing many times on labels in the past. I couldn't remember which was that date. So, I thought that maybe my hand can remember the date for me - like the wellknown story of you can't forget bicycling if you do it once - and was actually happened. My hand wrote that date as if I wasn't in control of it. After that, I checked that the date my hand wrote was right. So, I thanked it. :) Another example of this body memory phenomenon in my life is the cooking recipies. When someone asks me how I make sushi, I feel so much bored to remember the process that I answer eventually that I don't remember. But if I get my body in the process to make sushi, it will do it for me. This is a true story. So, what is my point? We focus our consciousness on things we want to focus and we avoid the things we don't want to focus. For example, the date as a number or the sushi recipie as a process, as I know that they are information that they can be found easily on my PC, I avoid sacrificing my thinking time on focusing on these memories consciously. So our body is able to move effortlessly according to our subsconscious memory. If there is this kind of automation installed on how memory works, we could actually make our life a lot easier in many levels every day. The key to that easy world, is training our body memory process to go through the paths that we will define it. In both previous examples, the process of sushi or the number of the date, were imported to the body memory through 'repetition'. Repeating a movement many times, recreates stronger neural connections in our brain to achieve easier that specific movement, so we become more used to it. Going a little deeper here, pretty much everything we do, include the same memory pattern. In Greek, there's a phrase of wisdom, "Επανάληψη είναι μήτηρ πάσης μαθήσεως", meaning that Revision is the mother of all learning. It's a phrase that my parents used to tell me when I was at school, a day before a test, reminding me that as long as I revise a subject, I will keep learning it better. This can be generalised to the way we percieve ourselves at the moment. If we repeat recognizing only some parts of ourself, we learn to keep this particular self formula on the go. Or imagine generalising the pattern on how we percieve the whole world. All this makes me realize that we have to be more cautious of what we are repeating to ourselves in daily basis. Depending on what is repeated or not, we may eventually turn our world into a paradise or a hell. It's like programming - or maybe hacking - the way we live, by teaching our subsconsious how and what to remember. Good coding! :)
