  • Web of lies

    Did you know humans are only 54% accurate at detecting lies? That means on a given day, you may only half guess what’s being told to be true and believe it too.

    Now there is blatant lies and subtle lies. Half the media you consume is subtle lies cos it’s untrue but yet can’t be proven to be false largely. It is the author’s interpretation of a situation given her biases, limitations and emotions.

    Blatant lies is the easier variant – both to pull off and to guess. Because it either is a masterpiece or a shabby work of art. It’s like giving everyone a version of the story what they would like to hear. Where nothing is false but nothing is true either.

  • Learning & Knowledge

    Read a book and you learn. Live through an experience and you gain knowledge.

    Both go hand in hand as an individual grows and shapes up in life. Neither is superior to the other, nor can one suffice what other imparts. Without learning and individual is at loss of understanding the fundamentals. Without knowledge an individual is not worldly wise.

    Vashisth imparted learning to Ram while Vishwamitra gave opportunities to face the reality of the world. Can you imagine Ram being the मर्यादा पुरुष, the best of men without either?
