Our lives, soap bubbles.

We build our lives along apparently rigid solid foundations but in reality they are nothing but fragile soap bubbles that a little prick will burst them open, shedding their contents wide open. In the meantime we go about undeterred, oozing from assurance, boasting content within our little worlds unaware and unprepared from that little prick that lurks around the corner.

The little prick, the insignificant fluttering from a tiny butterfly will wreak havoc in our lives. Immersed deeply we go about in the world among other individuals, with their lives similar soap bubbles, and built together bigger soap bubbles. We share our ideas, our ways of life, we relate to and become even more content and secure. But again the fact remains, that these bigger bubbles are just as fragile and just a little prick will burst them open too.

In fact our whole world is just a soap bubble too which accordingly a tiny little prick will burst it open. All the furore of global warming bears witness. Though it does not need that. The conditions that make our world able to support life are so fragile that a tiny perturbation, in comparison, on either side would have made it inhospitable and our human presence doubtful.

We live at an edge whether we like it or not. We can not do anything. The only thing we can do is to be aware of it and from time to time it pays to come out of our bubbles and look at them exactly as they are. Soap bubbles that a little prick can burst them open, as we talk.

It will make our lives and the lives of other individuals around us easier.

... achieving ...

.... to strive to be like others or to strive to be yourself ... each should take a dose of solipsism once in a while ... the media wants us to believe the content they provide is what the people demand ... it is not, this idea is nurtured by the media ... the useless engagement in the pursuit of trivial knowledge ... governments and industrialists lament for the lack of skills in the population and the same time maintain an educational system streamed towards the creation of elitists ... favours elitism ... built on elitist structures ... the over-indulgence in exceptional individuals ... the leadership dogma prevalent in state and industry demeans the individual ... greatly undervalues the individual ... the individual becomes dis-interested feels unrecognised ... work becomes a chore greatly despised ... the provided service largely compromised ...

I was impressed last time out in the blogs. Some of my consciousness strings got pulled, and by consciousness I refer to the things I pay attention to, the things I hold dear, the things I find important, the things I find worth reading, talking and listening about.
I felt like I was paying a visit and had a chat. Got to know you. I kept some things of yours for myself though. Like the profound "I am greater than the sum of my parts", what better way for one to describe oneself, the strange dislikes (fish eggs) some people have, the "insurmountable inertia of mere existence" whereas another blog stated that as we grow "we absorb our culture's arrogant conviction that we manufacture everything" in protest against looking at the world as raw material in need of our ingenuity to put value in. I think probably they will not see eye to eye with the blog where passion is framed and used to promote sales, a commodity. From the same circles still there comes a deep insight of human nature, a measure of the influence each has over another as they elaborate on the concept of "social proof, a powerful psychological mechanism by which we look to others to guide our own actions", the recent massacre in a school in Finland stands as an example.
A similar website offered tips about blogging but I prefer the kind of blogging where you put your stream-of-consciousness window into your faulty mind out there, and it attracts like-minded readers and when I can go on your blog and in your brain via the internet.

I agree.
