Unearthing Life 2

People ask questions and
expect the answers to be close to
their imagination !
When they don't get those, naturally
 speculations are given birth to.

The script then prepared by them ,
is their version of the story,
which has nothing to do with you,
which you were never a part of.

A few times the concocted stories are
a touch more interesting than
what actually happened.
Usually they are futile attempts of
simulating the truth.

ahh yes the power of embellishment ... and the power also of chinese whispers ... don't we all have our very own unique version of reality ??

life happens, then we take a paintbrush to it and make it more appealing for ourselves

great concept here xx

[Anand Sehgal]

thanks so much darling friend :) you always inspire me to think more :)

[MsJewel]

The power of perception is a funny thing and how it can distort reality. I really love the last verse - how we mold our memories to remember what we wish to remember. Creative and intelligent - it is always a pleasure to read "you"

Perceptions, perspectives and paradigms - in each individual subjective and selective.
And we wonder why we can't get along… Beyond the observation of a truth is this: How do we shift it in order to create a better world?

[Anand Sehgal]

to create a better world the shift has to be meaningful and justified. I have nothing against the shift. subversive stand-point and paradigm shift are some of the post-modern theories that are very much okay and relevant. But concoction eats up the health of the very thought process. Isn't it ?

So true … our memories are flawed things … they grow like crooked trees.

[Anand Sehgal]

yes indeed . We love convenience and somehow manage to get it from somewhere :)

[icelandicblue]

If you say it often enough it becomes your truth. Each of us brings our own point of view to everything and everywhere and sometimes the puzzle pieces of our thoughts don't match up.

[Anand Sehgal]

We love to imagine and we want to predict everything right. It is the very root of human nature.

[Vidya Bacchus]

That is the truth Anand. People have ideas about how things should be and are shocked and outraged when things don't go as planned :)

[Anand Sehgal]

thanks dear Vidya for your words :)
yes, we presume and we perish ! :)

[Vidya Bacchus]

Aye my friend you are right .You are welcome :)

[Madalyn Beck]

I feel this is why I write sometimes. If I don't like something that is happening in my life, I write about it and either change it or make something far more enticing. Great job with this as well! (:

[Anand Sehgal]

thanks so very much dear :) I am honored and glad :)

[K. Louis]

it's easy to get wrapped up in the stories we are telling ourselves...distortions however, never usually lead to any good place. nicely written.

[Anand Sehgal]

Thanks so much Louis :) how are you doing?
