I arrived at the following conclusion yesterday:
"Great people are those who see the unseen; greater people are those who show other people the unseen and bring them to them".
I have been pondering over the above
for a couple of months and it became vivid to me when Nima (my very best
friend) and I were getting back home last evening from a meeting with Prof.
Mohammed Minhaj, also my good friend and consultant.
On the way,
Nima told me, "we don't think enough!" and I told him "we don't
observe enough either!".
Although
they seem to be two different things, they are quite similar in many ways.
Observation requires one to get immersed in the surroundings and not isolate
themselves from them. On the other hand, thinking is a process that takes place
in brain with an input fed by observation in order to arrive at a conclusion which in a way is an isolated process.
Coming back
to earth and leaving the philosophy off for a while, I can say, at the end of
the day, it's these two things that have helped and led human being to the top
of the pyramid and superior among other species.
If you notice,
every thing that has created a buzz and attraction, is new in some way! We love
new stuff, new things to wear, new places to see, new foods to eat, and new
things to experience. The problem is, we need to look for them! They are either
hard to find or hard to get. Even if they're found, they are expensive to buy
or access.
It is easy
to get or create new things but hard at the same time! It's like the famous
saying: "Simple is hard"; If you want to explain something to someone
in a simple way so they understand it better, you should know it very well which
in turn requires you to spend time and energy to learn it.
New ideas,
new ways of doing things, new approaches and methods, have something in common to find out: observe the surroundings, think about your observations, connect
your thoughts back to your observations and you'll arrive at the bigger picture
of what you have observed. With the bigger picture, you can easily see a whole new,
different world of the same objects you have previously observed.
A step
further to the above is bringing your observations to other people and helping
them see the different world.

U need experience to observe.One observes what he perceives.And perceptions are created on a daily basis.So the more things we experience on a daily basis,the more we observe in the subsequent days.But to experience things,we need freedom.And its a pretty known fact that we don't have that freedom of choice in our packed and restricted routines. Music offers a detour and lets us experience the world in different ways.
