Musings

Last updated: July 14, 2023

Musings I come up with, more often than not, during random moments.

The most expensive lessons are the ones you learnt nothing from.

Creativity is harnessed chaos.

Conflict breeds growth—positive and/or negative.

Tolerance first, capacity later.

Playing fairly in a place where injustice is one of the rules, you’ll always get beaten.

Consequences are not only for those making mistakes, but also for those avoiding them.

You might have read the book, but did you listen to the author.

(On making things happen) If you can’t even picture it in your head, you’re not even at the starting line.

That being said, this might be one of the markers if you have a natural inclination towards making something happen or being able to participate in it.

Work is the easy part.

Chance ignorance is episodic bliss, directed ignorance is consummate freedom.

The universe is not under any kind of obligation to make sense.

What do you do when you’re at the brink of doing something you spent your life trying to avoid?

When two beings collide, the one with more to lose does not matter. What matters is who fears to lose what he has.

The difference between these modes of communication lie in the proportion between viscerality and accountability.

As interesting as the “why” is the “why not.”

No big fish grows on clear waters–the big fish, however, ended up in a skillet.

It should have never been “You can’t please everyone”, but instead “You should not please everyone”. As an adage says—“If you please everyone, you please no one.”

Having too early of a dominance robs the fun out of it, even undermines it.

We’re not always the good guys.

Over-application of one thing tends to imply under-application of another, and vice-versa.

To Andrew Huberman’s “Addiction is a progressive narrowing of the things that bring you pleasure.”, I say instead—“Addiction is a progressive narrowing and layering of the things that bring you pleasure.”

Manage your addictions, but acknowledge them first.
