Life is supposed to be beautiful, like a grand landscape of nature. But why do you feel that instead of enjoying the grandeur, you are instead, down in the rapids, being buffeted by the strong currents. Unable to be in control of the series of competing endeavours, due to the fear of losing out. Driven in all directions by micro but perceptually powerful forces. If you don’t find your anchor you will be swept away.
You need to find your anchor, your authentic self. The forces will still come at you, but you will be capable of allowing the rapids flow past. And start to enjoy the experience and see the bigger picture, the grand landscape.
Now you might think that finding your authentic self should be easy. After all, it is about you. But it takes a good bit of effort and introspection. It is an ongoing process of self discovery. I am somewhere along the process too.
I have realised my anchor is in knowledge and constant learning keeps me moored. Artificial Intelligence (AI), Societal cause in the form of human-ness and Art are the areas I am exploring. This blog will therefore be a log of those small steps, and signposts along this journey of exploration, and my attempt to spread the knowledge I gain. One day I hope to write books and lecture extensively, but that’s for another phase.
