Thought 166: Things are never static, they are always dynamic


Things are never static in this world. This is a dynamic world; things are always changing - matter into energy and energy into matter (This is what Einstein’ equation, E=mc2, implies). There are ceaseless changes taking place everywhere. Take geography for instance. Where there was a sea some years ago, there is land now - and where there was green and fertile land once, it is a scorching desert today. Even within the human body, all the cells are replaced once in three years approximately. Night is always followed by the day. A day is always followed by night. Seasons occur in well-defined cyclic sequences.

Thus, change is the fundamental law of Nature. We constantly see in the life of every person, the fortunate and unfortunate circumstances are changing constantly – they alternate one after the other regularly. If the circumstances are bad today, they are bound to be good tomorrow. These are the dynamics of all life on this planet.

If you are a philosophical and positive person like my daughter Sashi, you will beleive that every change happens for your good only; she believes that tomorrow is going to be alright even if today is a little disturbing. It is said that unless you hit the bottom, you cannot come up. Similarly, unless things become worse, they will not become better. Until they become better, however, Sashi says that you need to resort to her 3 P’s philosophy. The 3 P’s are “prayer, positive thinking and patience (for the good things to happen to you or for the bad things to disappear from your life)”.

I am an optimist and I believe firmly that one should always be optimistic and enthusiastic – amidst these fast changing dynamics. That is the only sensible way of dealing with these fast changes.

The next thought is about “The inspection model VS the quality model”
