If we look at super-expanded universe, i feel we are nothing but an accidental perfection, which holds no value otherwise. <br /><br />I also thought on the similar lines from from a different philosophical perspective. you may have a look at it: http://spectatorspeaks.blogspot.com/2008/08/being-human.htmlSpectatorhttp://spectatorspeaks.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14205717.post-77767792056461194712009-11-25T20:59:28.448+05:302009-11-25T20:59:28.448+05:30Absolutely, Jassi!

"<BR/>- Me too... I wish I could. But I am sure I don't do it. We all are too bound with the things we know about and the things that happen around us to break free. Human beings are too complex to be 'treated' as inanimate variables. However all those who dont reside in our 'personal world', are nothing but a just that - inanimate variable or a statistic. Right?<BR/><BR/>This debate can go on forever. But for all of us, the need to find out a better way to live is more important. And for this reason, even if we know this reality, we don't wish to believe in it. Who wishes to go out of the matrix anyways? :)Arpit Agarwalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01476963331471540999noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14205717.post-1139379643760634272006-02-08T11:50:00.000+05:302006-02-08T11:50:00.000+05:30The idea you suggest is a philosophical view on li...The idea you suggest is a philosophical view on life. It does not matter on a personal level wheter or not an event happens, the rest of the drama keeps progressing. If Gandhi wouldn't have been there & say India would not have had freedom due to his absence then it wouldn't have mattered one bit due to the Anthropic principle. It doesn't matter to Sun wheter there is a too much pollution on Earth or a nuclear bomb is destroying humanity.<BR/><BR/>A dictator does not care about how many people are dying due to his idiosyncrasies. It does not affect his life but it matters a lot to that person who suffers. To us millions of people dying due to cancer, AIDS, TB are just statistics.<BR/><BR/>But there is a difference in knowing this and believing in it. I know that this is the fact but I don't believe in it. If a person goes through the life with this belief, he is betraying the people around him as he does not give importance to their presence. The bigger fallacy is to compare inanimate variables in computer programs to human beings. <BR/><BR/>What say you?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14205717.post-1138184739113429532006-01-25T15:55:00.000+05:302006-01-25T15:55:00.000+05:30What you see as your life today is the sum total (...What you see as your life today is the sum total (and slightly more) of all the fortunate - unfortunate event in you life, including important people. If an event did not take place, your life would have been different but then you would not have been you. <BR/><BR/>People and events are just like a variable in computer program. The value that this variable takes at a particular point is pre-determined. But the variable is not the value. Its significance would change if another value was supposed to be assigned to it by some other process/event. <BR/><BR/>Humans always mistake value to be variables. If there wasn't a MK Gandhi as Mahatma, there would have been an 'Abhay Saraf' as Mahatma - or someone else. Someone had to do this task. Irrespective of name etc. <BR/><BR/>In everyone's life around you, you own a special position because you were supposed to do so. If you weren't there, somebody else would have been but certainly they would not be the same (as we see them today). <BR/><BR/>What say?Arpit Agarwalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01476963331471540999noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14205717.post-1138177501456980652006-01-25T13:55:00.000+05:302006-01-25T13:55:00.000+05:30If you think that a person is just an unimportant ...If you think that a person is just an unimportant being in the larger scheme of things & can be replaced by some one else, my friend, think agian...<BR/><BR/>or better do not think, ask those others around you.... <BR/>they will tell you that what you believe is untrue. you have created a difference in their life and they in yours. <BR/><BR/>just imagine if you hadnt met a particular person by chance do you really think everything would have been exactly the same?<BR/>you would have been totally different, not that you would have been aware of it but I bet you that if you could see these two different world, you would settle for the current one.<BR/><BR/>Would the world be same if some other person would have stood in place of Gandhi?
