An Individual's Capacity to apply oneself to any undertaking in the World

In one of my earlier blogs I have talked about a compulsion to write. Over these past days I feel that creativity need not necessarily have something to do with a specialised skill of Arts, or being able to create culturally.
In these blogs creative does not necessarily have to be dependant on art, science, music, literature or any of the typical definitions attached to it. It has got more to do with the desire to be alive. Aliveness refers to the individual's capacity to apply oneself to any undertaking in this world. It is about the intensity of the attitude that makes one ask oneself what can I say think feel or do to bring a sense of learning and fulfillment for me.
What follows is the myth sometimes of that of sysiphus or sometimes of that of the rise of phoenix from ashes. And I dream that someday I would be the Phoenix rising and soaring in the canopy of aliveness. Be an individual who relishes the wonderful marvel of being "alive" with all his carnate and incarnate experiences.

YOU WILL NEVER BE UNDERSTOOD ALL THE TIME

The fact is you yourself cannot understand someone all the time. Hence the prophetic statement of anguish, albeit a desperate or a resigned anguish, is ironical in so far as one would find that for alarge part of life their children are a source of bewildering perplexities, or the politicians never stick to and deliver whatever they speak of or pledge, or why ocassionally your spouse does something that is baffling and difficult to understand. The important thing is not to continue feeling frustrated or worse victimised. The clue is not being offended more often than not for not finding understandable situation. As someone had said learn thetrick of being able to shrug - not just physically, but metaphorically from your mind. It is not prudent when sometimes we see such persons or come in contact with such persons and quickly surmise that the person is a phony. To the contrary the person may be actually someone who does not have the urge or need to let the world or everyone else know who or what or where he or she is all the time. Do not always try to work on a relationship. Lying is not necessarily always immoral. It is more important in those situations of when faced with the duty of calling upon your judgement , to first ask yourself what constitutes a lie?
As Emerson had said every mind has it's own beauty, and each mind has it's own method. Let it be but it is not wise to always try and understand those methods. Good Luck....
