I vs U

Well, Collisions, either we like it or not is a must happen event in our daily basis, you say LEFT other say RIGHT ... she says THIS he says THAT ... they say UP we say DOWN ..... just WHY ???
God created us all , different in culture, nature, education, and personalities. Don't you think it would be extremely odd if we didn't collide ??!!!! , i just want you to imagine that you are living in a symmetrical world, where all people think the same way, need the same things in the same time, say the same thing in the same time ... etc.
WHAT ? can't picture it ?. you're forcing me here my friend , Okay, picture this : you wake up in the morning heading towards the bathroom and ,,, OH, your father is in there, your mother is knocking on the door, and your little brother.... well you can figure out what he did. After you got into your car happy that you thought of going to work early, and Oops , all people thought the same thing and streets are blocked with cars. You got to work late and craved for a cup of coffee and then ... guess what?? yeah, Office is out of coffee as all the staff craved it the exact moment you did. You - terribly annoyed - go to the conference room for the staff meeting to present that marvellous idea you had yesterday ... OUCH, your colleague just passed the idea to your boss as he thought it yesterday too, and weird enough, the same instance. Then my dear you return home -Furious .

Then why ?? why don't we accept our differences and deal with it, it would be much better if we completed each other, unless it's religious, we are entitled to differ, you must not force me to adapt your point of view, and in the same time i have to respect your perspective as long as you present it with good manners.
We really lack communication skills when it comes to understanding the other. If anyone disagrees with your point of view, you take it personal. WHY? having another perspective doesn’t mean we are opposite to each other. it just means that has his own analysis for the situation. we both may be right and we both may be wrong, but NEVER EVER should we argue and lose our respect to each other over it. When you are about to reach that point . Please, Shut UP.

People of greatness are those who learnt how to understand "The other" as an equal individual who has all the rights they have to express himself with whatever way he finds convenient.
So from now we all have to learn some important points:

  • Have faith in yourself.
  • Be confident.
  • People are equal, you are nothing better than any other person.
  • Everyone has his own perspective.
  • Everyone analyse events based on their own background, which is not necessarily yours.
  • Being calm is a privilege 
  • Patience is a virtue 
  • Silence is GOLD
  • Don't speak unless you know what you r talking about, if you don't , SHUT UP.
  • Your opinion is an opinion , it might be wrong, so as the other's.
  • Differences in perspectives don't worth losing your relationships.
  • When you feel you are reaching a dead point in discussion, SHUT UP, then try to retreat.

A ringing phone


“Isn’t it funny? You hear a phone ring and it could be anybody. But ringing phone has to be answered, doesn’t it? ” .. Have you ever thought of that ? have you ever been in a situation where you had to answer a question that wasn’t even directed to you just because you heard it ? Well let me tell you that it’s a curse , as well known: Silence is gold , and by experience: Silence is Diamond. How many times did i wished that i could have kept my mouth shut? A LOT. Naturally, when someone ask you a question they expect you to answer the answer they want , they corner you to give them what they want to hear, or at least agree with them. QUESTIONs are misunderstood these days. In the past, when someone asks a question they really wanted to know, and they mostly ask the people who know. Nowadays, eneryone is asking and everyone is answering without even concentrating in what they are talking about. - “What do you know about Fukushima?” .. “yeah, it’s a chinese recipie but i don’t like Sushi” -  Really ??!!!!!! you’ve got to be kidding.
On the other hand, there’re some Utopists tend to answer questions that wasn’t even directed to them. derived by their craving to help others and providing the right answer if they know it. And as much noble as it sounds it’s not very welcomed from both the questioner and the questioned. - “Am not asking you.” , “Who gave you the permission to intervene?” , “Who are you?” , and sometimes it gets to a contempt look and total IGNORATION. Guys , guys … Calm down, they don’t answer that question out of intervention, it’s just a spontaneous reflection to hearing or seeing a question mark while knowing the answer :) they just like to provide knowledge, spread information. may be they do it the wrong way, may be you don’t accept it with tolerance , but please, please just try to understand their motive and respect it. 
Finally i like to advice my fellow Utopists , If you ever hear a ringing phone - and you will - let it ring until somebody else answers and tells you it’s for you :D

Welcome to UTOPIA ;)


Being a utopian is not as easy as it sounds , it means that you’ll be alienated for the rest of your life , or you are going to try utopianize all the people around you just to feel normal .
WHAT ?? you don’t know what the hell am talking about .. really? Don’t you know what a UTOPIAN is , mmm.. ok i’ll tell you just to prove you how good i am ;) . Utopia is a fictional island in the Atlantic Ocean. The term has been used to describe intentional communities that attempt to create an ideal society. So Utopia is equal to ideal and perfect state where everyone lives in harmony and everything is for the best.
Imagine living in such a place, well to be honest it’s not fun all the way, contradictions is a bit helpful while teasing.
Now , the big question is : Do you consider yourself a utopian ???

Insight

To see a world in a grain of sand, And a heaven in a wild flower, Hold infinity in the palm of your hand, And eternity in an hour.
