Perhaps nothing's sweeter than the sleep a few mins before one has to wake up...
Somehow, it's much easier to wake up bang in the middle of the night/morning, say around 4, when one has been sleeping for a few hours, and then suddenly, one wakes up-fully alert- for no apparent reason at all. And then, it becomes so painfully difficult to go back to sleep. So for hours one lies in the darkness, thinking rubbish, waiting for sleep to arrive, fully possessing the agonising knowledge that the same missing sleep is sure to refuse to leave you a few hours later when you HAVE to get up! :(
Anyway, there's only one thing I like about these "breaks"....One gets time to think on what one likes!
Though sadly, the few of the consequences of those thought processes and sleeplessness that I did put on this blog in recent times have led to me being labelled over-excited, pervert, and so so many things..(Click the title for example!) But, chalta hai! I'll write whatever I feel like, but yeah, nothing's gone really wrong or abnormal with me puh-leeease..
But I'm what I'm...so even if nobody can figure that out, that remains the truth...actually, only half the truth! I was just wondering, thanx to Vibhor (who I guess has become a pro at food-for-thought-exchanges!!), a conversation with whom prompted me into the "thought mood", that aren't MOST things we believe to be true, are actually half-truths...because, a lot many times, something is always missing. What I mean is, is "truth" a function of perspective? And before I get to my favourite theory of "Everything is relative", this aspect of "perspectives" and the hidden halves of truths intrigue me. Like in the previous post, the fact that bothers u most as a reader is what the half-truth was(and everyone neglected the PAIN in the post...god! Sex sells!!:D ) Life is a half-truth...even lies are semi-true, for sake of the moment and the purpose, they're true...
It's a grey world...blacks and whites scare me now. And what's amazing is we all know this, but inspite of that we often conveniently label PEOPLE as black or white, and equally conveniently develop our "truths" about them...only half the truths.
We look at an individual, and no wonder how much we get to know him, most of the times, it's only half the truth. We look at a house, and it speaks something to us, but it conceals more. We read books, watch movies, and absorb some of it as the creator wants, and some of it as we interprete, but does that define the ultimate of art. Ok I've spoken enough crap, but in the end, EVERYTHING to me is suddenly appearing as one thing- only half a truth, at max.
THE CONCEPT OF TRUTH IS A FARCE!
THE CONCEPT OF TRUTH IS A FARCE!
Ok, and before people crucify me for a serious shit post again which nobody can understand, here's more food for thought ...
# Days and nights, that literally define and decide existence for us, are transient and temporary, and differ at different places even at the same time. They're not the truth.
# Desire is but a manifestation of our stubbornness, or ego. We never know what we REALLY want, but still pursue desires all our life..setting our own parameters, our own truths. They're not truths.
# Everyone holds, forms and 'suffers' from opinions. They dictate lives to huge extents, but thet're not truths.
# Relationships, emotions, the "forever" feelings-love, friendship, repect etc- none of these are permanent. They continuously change and evolve in meaning and character. Emotions often become antagonistic to themselves. They're the pillars of our lives, but not truths.
# If you're reading this line, you might have read everything above this. but if you claim yes, just ask yourself, is that THE TRUTH?
Having said that, I'm NOT saying that all this is a plain lie...it's just incomplete, it's just, half the truth!
Life is a battlefield of half-truths!

i seriously agree with ur concept of half truth
i dunno why
but i suddenly feel ur suddenly startin 2 think like me...
good good
me like it
ahem the last few points bring me to one of my fav quotes frm Matrix Revolutions "Everything that has a beginning has an end"...
btw me cudnt agree more with the concept "Everything is relative" coz me myself believe quite a lot in it :)
watever it maybe...half-truth as per u or full truth as per me :D
PS: this is quite a good post :D
Fundoo post..got confused in the end with what is truth..wasnt it as simple as T/F..with a probability of 1/2 !!
Seriously truth is all about perspective & there is no ultimate truth in this world.
I have realised Life is crap when one tries to analyse all this...so better accept as it is..
"We never know what we REALLY want, but still pursue desires all our life..setting our own parameters, our own truths. They're not truths."...this is so very TRUE !!
I always believe the world is made of all things which we are being made to believe and accept as truth...if u have read 1984 u will probably get what i mean...again that could be half truth as well !!
also sleeping is one of the best things on earth..I just hope it could be like a switch..on/off.Though one gains perfection by attending classes !!
If you're reading this line, you might have read everything above this. but if you claim yes, just ask yourself, is that THE TRUTH? ANS: YES :D
again my ans might be only half true :P
Yeah its a grey world.... and in a grey world half truth becomes full truth and half lie becomes a full lie
came to ur blogspot after a long time (this is also relative...) and found it has changed a bit.
nice to read ur blog .................... again
Tumhare HS me koi Philo ka course hai kya?
Wish we could write this in our exam papers
Q.write true or false-
A.half true
half true
.
.
half true.
Result:you care to know that after this?
They would find a way around I guess-
"Every answer is Half False".
So back to being true and false again.
Circular logic,I generally avoid that.Except Philo ka course :P
Put your mind to rest...to much thinking takes you away from the "Truth"
--- "Out of silence is born the deepest philosophy"
its insomnia perhaps! :P
everyone struggles to find truth, but i don't think they get it, the one who claims they have, they only think they have. i don't know whether you've reached that stage when you stop worrying about these questions and start living your life as it is.
:|(emotionlessness)
58 mins back ... sitting in a hall full of 60 odd and highly tensed individuals .. being one of them .... i thought .. EXAMS r half truth .. easily defeated by one night studies .. but r termed to be an assesment of a semesters harwork . Aint it half the truth.
very truly said ::: LIFES A BATTLE OF HALF TRUTHS.
ANd forsure the last post was painful dear .. but then if u write pain & sex[ talking of it being pure ] .. one sees no pain .. its " PLEASURE IN PAIN ".
hmm BINGO once again .... nice one ;)
"Desire is but a manifestation of our stubbornness, or ego. We never know what we REALLY want, but still pursue desires all our life..setting our own parameters, our own truths. They're not truths."
i somehow can't agree with that
@anon
thanx
@luke
nicely put....though i dont think life is a total farce, although we r here to figure it out fr sure!
@mani
yar..if i start thinkin LIKE u totally, i'll commit suicide:P
@ kon ???
chalo tumhe kuch to achha laga
..and as i said, it's all abt "perspectives"
it's nt ur truth versus mine..it's abt the half truth we both agree to.
@insane
naah..it's never that simple..no maths there/
i get ur point...everyoen has there own stoiries, their own version of reality, life , truth and even history....the common space is just a battle of half truths.
@voice
Welcome back!!::D:
@nikhil
hey good to see u here...
we have philo in our insti, but i'm not doing it this sem...
wish i were, although i like my curent crse equally well
that was a good one btw...hope they give atleast half the marks ;)
@bachi
out of silence and sleeplessness is born....a public diary
@romi
very tue and vey deep
pata nahi i dont care for the tuth
i am just making a lazy observation
@anuj
chalo u also learnt it thru practical experience:D
thanx
@brood mode
Trust me, if we all knew our desires totally, completely and accurately, there wnt have been so much discontentment in this world..a lot of what we think we want is only that...we 'think' we want it...
@dtc
sadu! MS ke top floor se jump maarna
@brood
she's written it in an odd way but she's tryin 2 differentiate b/w need and greed.
life is a bitch... the faster u learn tht the better..
hmm...I also wake up in the middle of the nite and then its just these thots...so many just goin on and on in my head...and its so difficult to fall asleep agen...and yes the sleep claiming me just wen I have to get up is infact the best...life is a bunch of half-truths really...nice post
I agree perfectly with the first line..nothing is more satisfying than those last few minutes.
I read your so called provocative post. i didnt find anything provocative in it - its writing..it doesnt have to be true and even if it is well, its your space to write whatever you want to.
Btw- linked you.
really well said.this post also to a gud extent summsrizes my idea of pretence.
gud job!!!
I have been looking for sites like this for a long time. Thank you!
