Creative Mind has it’s own seduction. Everybody wants to tame it for his or her own vehicle.

This is a strange thought, but that’s what one feels in the creative endevour while working in a system. While the system is enabling the net needed to launch the endevour in the first place, but when it comes to people it is about control and responsibility. So the idea instead of being a celebration of working together in a team to see the impact, instead turns into the dynamics of who is incharge and who gets the credit.

The creativity is a strange and curious engagement, solo genius is the world desires but in computer software and hardware development the collaborative nature of skills brings out the idea to a shape where it can be developed and delivered. A thing of beauty!

But the system also opens up opportunities for people to exercise and tune the collaborative process to individual agenda. It may then lead the to idea traveling around in wilderness, and the creativity mind becomes the means to act as a canon. Yes a canon for shooting, not In a literal sense but to further the agenda.

I always felt somewhere this paradox and desire to not seek positions since all of them come with the expectation of becoming another shell in the armour. At the end with creative and intellect one tends to create ones moral universe (Woody Allen wrote in Bullets over Broadway) and that’s the conflict in seeking the satisfaction to create what is right for ones taste or doing what is right for growing up in the system.

I like to choose to be right in my moral universe of taste, but practical responsibilities enfore the reality of a reconciliation. It takes one through troughs of depression when becoming a pawn to excilileration of being able to create simple solutions to complex problems. To some degree that conflict is about being emotion or being rational about how one choose to love, but that’s an another post for another day.

Think about it…

Whats the point? That’s the eternal question. All the great writes from Fyodor Dostoyevsky, Franz Kafka, Albert Camus and Jean Paul Satre have all asked this question and wondered the value of life being lived. Western world’s Rational Thought resonates with Indian Philosophy of following one’s Dharma. But at the end it leaves out core aspect of being human, emotions. Flow of emotions is a difficult conundrum, the direction it takes is hard to comprehend or predict and their tryst with life is what known or remember as experiences.

Yet, at the end, life will continue moving on, forward or backward is the perspective. As Dylan famously said, “That he not busy being born is busy dying” , but the more interesting of the lines in few paragraphs before “To understand you know too soon, There is no sense in trying”.

One believes in having control of ones action and than one can control one’s life. But life is strange, throwing one in situations where control is out and beyond. One wonders, when that happens are one’s actions right or wrong. Control gives the power to do whats right, lack of it leaves open spaces of being lead and then wonder whats this is all about.

But at the end, rationalists and dharma leave it all aside to focus on job at hand. Doing it right, is all that matter. Sometimes it is ok, other times it is not. Balancing that is extremely hard.

People change, one changes, loved ones changes. How many observe it and notice it? Acknowledging it may make the loved unloved, ignoring it is living a facade. Whats better and better still, whats the point of love at all.

This line may end up questioning everything cherished, better not go there. Again whats the point. A thinker is hard to find, better yet, some who articulates even more. Who am I to think and articulate, may be its ones that do.

Cynical the thought and writing sounds, had a great week ending on a high.

Conversation can be beautiful, is unique and be appreciated.

Smartness though is underrated, even the beauty is confused.

The Eyes indicate the antiquity of the soul, and is young and bold.

Future shines within them, bringing the freshness life demand.
