In my previous thread on mind development, I was talking about ways to handle pressure. I would like to digress here and talk about the insight I had while developing study material for the reasoning exams. It seemed logical to me that developing standardized approaches to answer questions in reasoning exams would be of immense help to the students. It looks like, standard approaches can be developed to help in reasoning on all the existing knowledge . In other words when what we want to reason on, is based on what is fully known, standardized approaches can be developed.
Now comes the interesting part. Should we extend this logic to say, in our interactions and relationships with people? Actually that is the way the world is going, led by the West. Our interactions seem to be more and more phony, canned and predetermined. We seem to be getting so much obsessed with the need to control things that we want to predetermine everything .
What does this lead to? I would say eventually to emptiness. The real fun and purpose of life is gone. Contrary to what is ideal for logic, based on the known, logic on the unknown or real life logic has to be spontaneous. I believe ideally one should never plan on something like a relationship . One can of course have objectives but the finer print should unfold spontaneously. The real idea is one should not plan to predetermine what a person would say or do and should not control others mind, though it is ideal that we should be able to precisely formulate physical laws.
The question that will now arise is how can we be spontaneous ?
Can anyone think of an answer?
