Are You Goodlucking?!

Often it has been admitted that a fair and objective judgment usually happens when the person himself/herself is anonymous. Well, if you are goodlooking it is certain that you have an advantage over those who are not and you may not dislike your being preferred. If you wear sexy outfits and win over the interviewer's view then you still feel all right about your ways and looks. If you have a mesmerizing voice, it is just so easy to get bargains and appointments on the phone. BUT if you are rejected because somebody has beaten you in charms and not in merits then you may halt to revise your past pleasures!

In the past months, I just fancied to leave anonymous comments for some fellow blogger friends and guess what. I have been praised and welcomed so warmly that I prefer to be Anonymous than 'me'. Then there is this great setback: how can I tell them that it is 'me' and not Anonymous!

P.S. Don't be naughty now. I don't mean ...

I found this on the web: "if you are goodlooking enough, no one will mind if you stalk them." See!

P.S. 2: TV seance claims to have reached John Lennon.

Understanding? (2)

When you sit by a stranger in a train station or in an airport it is likely that you wonder if s/he has the same destination as yours. You may even brave to ask him/her about it.

Of my two pet theories one is projection. By projection I mean when one extranalises his emotions, thoughts, etc and sees them in others too. (Pathetic fallacy, in which inanimate nature seems to have the same traits and feelings that the poet has, is one known example.) More and more I am convinced that human beings with a varying degree relate to the world around them through projection. It is only when they put their thoughts into words or discuss their perceptions that the discrepancy between their understanding and the outer world is revealed, sometimes tragically.

The Undo Button

You keep learning; you do whatever it takes to educate yourself, emotionally, intellectually, socially, etc. And it is so difficult too. Yet, it is even more difficult to UNLEARN. It is even far more difficult to get ignorant again. Ignorant as you wouldn't know all the shit around. Ignorant as you might be left alone. Ignorant as you didn't need any news to make you feel you are updated. Is it possible to un-update? Where is the 'undo button'?
