The answers we get, do we have questions??

I seem to have trouble wrtting a title for this entry.. Yet i keep it as what it is now, just maybe so it may atleast skim the surface.. What i actually intented to bring out is how we, sometimes (and some ppl everytime) find answers to certain solutions esecially when there exists no question. Confusing eh? How can there be an answer, when there already is a solution? Now reading the line fully, how can there be an answer or a solution especially when there is no question at all in the first place??

I once read of a story wherein a professor comes into his new class, a graduate class, and immediatly on reaching wrote down a certain few digits on the blackboard. All of them stared at it for a moment and suddenly as if struck by a bolt of lightening, the nerdy ones, remembering that the professor took mathematics started to analyse the particular number to understand its significane, features, properties if any etc. Slowly the whole class followed suit. Finally not getting any immediate conclusion as to any particular property of the aforesaid number worth mentioning, someone asked the professor, " Sir, we dont find any significane to the number yu wrote. Can yu please tell us what it is." Answered the professor - " That number has no significance, except that its my phone number." Thence asked the professor, " Why do yu go in search for answers, when there is no question at all?? The first step to anything is pose the question. And if you dont get the question do not go for the answer, for they may all be very far from the truth."

This applies everywhere and to every aspect of our life. It is rather common and most of us everyday do this. We try to find answers to questions that dont even exist. Maybe it may be that a certain event has occured. A normal occurance of somethin quite natural, which had it not occured today may have occured toorrow or may sometimes never even occur at all. The main thing is under normal conditions we may not even notice that it occured. But it so happened that once when it did occur we noticed it. Somehow having heard of its occurance from a biased source or maybe through a crafty side of our head we do take notice. And normally which would have looked pretty normal starts to llok particularily weird. Now that is were the all powerful and ingenious gifts we have, our imagination, our thinking, start their rather ingenious workings. Here the number on the board is the event. Now we start pondering.
  • Maybe it might have happened because a rocket fell on it..
  • Or no maybe it did happen because my best friend betrayed me and did it..
  • No no.. never possible.. It happened because of the earths gravity pull which suddenly shifted causing the tree to fall over it and ultimately its leaves which let out a certain sap moulded over it.

Now whatever the event be we start thinking and in less than ten seconds we would have found certain assumptions, in under a minute the probable reasons has increased tenfolds and alsThe reasono has certain proofs to back it up. Old forgotten stuff suddenly props up in the mind as a proof as the stage setter for the event and connecting a lot of those old stuff we suddenly have a very strong and evident reason as to why it took place which, however might be miles away from the actual reason.

The reason why i'm blurting out all this is, it is a phenomenon that happens to all humans, or perhaps the ones who think they can think, the ones who plays the detective, or the perfectly normal but the i do care ones. I dunno wat category i would fall into; guess there are many other categories as well, but thing is while i normally do have them in a very normal and not so big ways a few days ago i had a bad one. I heard somethin or rather a certain conversation that went between them. Mind yu, i wasnt evesdropping, the conversationalist only told me a while later. But since I hadn't known it, (I don understand what i'd have understood had i been known it), i began to think possible answers for that particular conversation. I went so far as to link them up and went deep into the past to get a few connections too.. Ooo and i did get myself a pretty good reason as to why they had that conversation. Only prob is there wasnt a question der. It was a perfectly normal conversation. But to quench my thirst for answers i found a multitude of answers and finally merged into one. They talked because :
  • they were plotting against me
  • they shared a very big secret
  • they had a secret affair
So summed up, they, who had a secret afair, were plotting against me from a very big secret, or maybe it can also be through that secret. who knows rite? :p

This just takes a few minutes of calm n unbiased positive look from the exterior to understand that there was no missiles being manufactured in der. Things like des, when ppl tend to find answers without a question is when the path of life takes a bad turn. And unsurprisingly, this is quite a truth behind many problems yu see and undergo everyday. So, though i don think i have made my point out fully, never jump to absurd conclusions without posing the question. Well as an afterthought, even after yu pose the question don jump to absurd conclusions....

most likely they wer plotting against you *_*
:P seriously, human mind is an unbound horse with no destinies and a universe of truth and half truths and lies to explore. it can not rest. until its tired or bound. But the exploration is all the fun na? wat if we knew everything?who is loyal n who is not. What one is thinking and what one doesnt think anymore..What is next... life would suck.
