Philosophy lesson
| Do you remember the days when you had time to think about your life and what it means to you? My engineering days were by far the most productive in terms developing a personal philophical grounding, most of which remains intact today. More trivial issues seem to have gained far more importance in my life now but hopefully that will change in the years to come. The basic jist of life can be summed up in one line - 'Hypocrisy rules the roost'. The philosphical translation is that life is a contradiction. Whether its dispensing sermons to your kids for lying or firing someone from substandard work, we are unknowing creating a baseline of conscientiousness for ourselves that we ourselves cannot keep. We all fall prey to our doublestandards and continue to live in denial. This discussion does preclude certain activites we endeavour in but in general its applicable to work, love, marriage and our attitudes to others, politics and most of all to the promises that we make. How many times in the course of this lifetime have you contradicted yourself? So in essence, try NOT to let Hyprocrisy rule the roost. We are off to Norway from the 13th to the 23rd of August, we hope to do some nature loving, fish eating and fjord climbing. Hope to meet a classmate in Oslo and perhaps even get a tour. I am thinking of writing a travelblog but that maybe a bit much. HAPPY BIRTHDAY ANU!! Went to a Sushi place in the same block that we live in last night, excellent sashimi and mouth watering dragon rolls. Warrants a repeat trip, more reasons for you guys to come visit Munich. Dare I say it, the house is finally ready for people to come visit!!! |

post a commentI'm way too guilty of letting "hypocrisy rule the roost." I try not to, but it just seems to happen again and again.

Gotta hang in there man, you do want to set a good example for Joshy, don't you? Or are you gonna leave that for Nums to worry about (like all real men)?
In my case cynicism rules the roost. I found myself getting more and more skeptical and cynical about people and events during the past year.
The fact that I was cooped up in the forest didn't help either.
