Only for the ones who are willing to hear beyond words...ready to understand much beyond logic and science

We as human beings are very very irrational. we like to be rationally irrational. Keeping in mind the pros and cons, positive and negative, good or bad, right or wrong, we cruise our way through this world/situations/people and almost anything...

There is a beautiful terminology in semiotic theory called "homo significans" it means that we as a bunch of beings are "meaning-makers"... we tend to and actually try to make meanings out of anything and everything... a few observations(of myself and my circle of friends)

- Oh look at that girl...she is so good looking(read HOTT)... but is accompanied by a guy..."Wo to uska friend hoga... m sure she is currently single" 

{What is happening here lets try and decode... a random(but good looking )chic... accompanied by a guy... they can be related to each other in some way not known to the person above. or all we know they are not related to each other and happen to be walking side-by-side...but this person's(observer) mental processes have already analysed and formed opinion of what could the relationship between the two be...} 

we do it all the time... many a times we assume what will the opposite person's reaction be when we say/do something... and even though the opposite person has not actually reacted to anything; we assume his reactions and alter our behavious accordingly... So in essence we have just managed to fool our ownselves... Shouldn't we give a chance to the opposite person's senses/brain to react as he or she wants to...But all thanks to homo-significans we are like this only!

We can derive meaning, analyse reasons and draw conclusions for each and everything around us or that concerns us... This is not strange... its the way we are created... and this happens seamlessly all the time with almost auto-pilot efficiency...

I would suppose this(Homo-significans) is what gave rise to Sir Isaac Newton's discovery of gravity... At the age of 23, while relaxing on his mother's farm, Isaac Newton, by his own account, saw an apple falling from a tree. That simple incident caused him to wonder why apples always tumble down... Homo significans at play - today we all know about earth's gravitational pull...ot what is known as the Newton's law of universal gravitation...

So please do not wonder/ridicule your your brain if it is making some random connections... for all you know all of us have an Isaac waiting in us to reach out with his own version of the theory of gravitation... but hey this time it might be with help of Apple i-phone...

Science is just the beginning... Faith is the journey...Self actualization is the destination!
