'Deep doubts, deep wisdom, small doubts, small wisdom'

An old Chinese proverb makes us ponder, the immense truth known in asking questions and digging a little bit further. 'Deep doubts, deep wisdom, small doubts, small wisdom'. If we ask the most probing questions, we will ultimately begin to doubt. Life is measured by the quality of questions we ask ourselves. If I ask myself, 'Does the government do enough' and look into what the government does, I would have general doubts about the efficacy of humans in general, the infallibility of us, in our core essence as our evolution is still influenced by our human nature. However, if I ask a different question, 'Is the government good or bad', I would ultimately have smaller doubts, either good or bad, black or white, sometimes up and sometimes down. I think that narrowing down our questions today has been the true issue. Which makes us comfortable with ignorance. Was Donald Trump a good President or was he a bad one?  The first thing our brain says, he is bad, do you s...

University in the next era

Coming to the last quarter of 2020, by now we have realised things have changed in the World. Shops are going online now, not a way of adapting but a way of necessity now because many shops are closed during the pandemic. Universities have altered the way they present information to their students. Through webinars and tasks set to them from a laptop, without the human interaction with their teacher. Students can't say now, 'This assignment is troubling me, I need a one-one session with my tutor'. I guess it's still possible, just have a zoom conversation with your teacher, but it's not the same, as going through papers and talking about things side by side. The human touch is not there. Many students today, would drop out of university because of realising how pointless it is, to begin with, especially when one is not interested in their subject and has an inclination to branch out. When students remain at university, it is a given that they will simply follow thei...

Water and Thoughts

When you think of thoughts they move like water. Sometimes it is not in the structure of your ego (self). We know, water can penetrate through a rock with enough consistentcy. The same goes for shaping our thoughts, how things can come into fruition. Everything once started with a thought. Then it becomes something more, it pulls you to inspired action. I learnt from Tony Robbins, most people have a dirt road to happiness, and a high road to unhappiness. By that he means, people are not conscious of their patterns. Ever heard, someone say they are broken, that's not true. We all have neurological patterns, with time it can change. When we more often than not, intend to consistently focus on the good, milking experiences, even saying how the taste of a tea is amazing, appreciating and taking it in. Say, even when someone does something nice or us doing something nice, appreciating we can do that better yet - it rewires our brain for happiness. It's gratitude yes. This quote, ...

When I fall in love

  When I fall in love, I see beautiful faces When I fall in love, I land in beautiful places Finding love is a mystery  Is it to love, we are toasting? A relationship, gives you a perspective How do you know what you want, If you don't know, what you don't want Have you ever been in one? To whom, are you comparing her to? You're comparing you Realising who you are Realising who you are with her too God's greatest creation is women They bring out different sides to you Don't be confused, when she opens through Realise, there is another side to you  Now figuring, if there is more to you It can never be the girl You settle on yourself When you settle down, to just do Sometimes you get her Still feel there is something else for you Think of the person you're becoming to be Want to be, in the longer view  If she's really the one for you You may need to move to space  Time for you If she's a keeper  She'll give you space to move  Can never walk around with...

Wandering

Stranger than fiction Has become my diction I prayed for creativity When feeling friction creatively Listened with my eyes  Finding what hidden means In my personality I stayed where it's heavenly... In curiousity.. Towards my personal reality   Doing life's thinking under stress Is like painting with one brush so rushed The object is used so quickly to it's bitter end How can you be objective and bitter in the end? Doesn't make sense Like trying to make peace when you want revenge  Like trying to be free but value security till death It's like running free Forgetting there is no certainty Asking myself what is security?  A life of uncertainty is met certainly Not all those who wander are lost  A life on my terms is met with certainty If that is my one job 

2020

My name is Shayan, welcome to my blog. This blog is going to be a mixture of poems and general blogging, in terms of writing that feels like I am just having a conversation with you. This year, has been the strangest year to say the least and the most eye opening year to say the most. I reckon, this was the year that everybody realised something about themselves.  When have we ever pressed pause, just to understand what is happening in the movie? Sometimes, taking a moment to take a look at what is going on, is the exact thing we need going forward. Of course, it is devastating times, for those who have been forced to close their businesses down, even more so, for those who unfortunately have lost loved ones. However, each era, has it's difficulties followed by a major tragedy. In this case, we never had a pandemic that our whole livelihood has been changed and now we must follow guidelines, rules, mostly based around social distancing and covering our face. We can complain about t...
