As the realization of tolerance dawns, it becomes more and more clear why there could be a logical and completely acceptable reason to simply move on to the next phase of what can only be described to be - before time. Funnily, as difficult as it may seem to the non-transient beings around me in this physical life, going simply by their observation, I am pretty sure I have always been late. For the meetings, waking up, going to sleep, being energetic, wasting time for the sake of being just there in the moment, feeling my heartbeat rise if only for having imagined, smiling hopelessly, being lost.. Oh dear lord - so dark the con of man!
Some one said - After silence that which comes nearest to expressing the inexpressible is music. Without music, life would be an error.

Apparently, post modernism says: there is no absolute certainty or truth in life, every persons view of life is as valid as everyone else's.
So dark the con of man.. letting go for the sake of holding on. I no longer belong. I know I am sane, so far.. I can consider, weigh out my options, conclude, survive, any which way sweet leaf, I seek you not, for you are already mine.
Still, better Mr. Late than Late Mr.

In other news, Stephen Richard Covey, a famed author, educationist, inspirational kind of guy(*limited to business and management afaik), went to a better place on 16 July 2012 at the ripe age of 80.
Never got myself to read any of his books in-spite of having many chances at various times and stages. Strangely, in a forwarded email highlighting his principles in simple list, I found two which I liked and agreed upon, one almost a revelation. Having sold an estimated 35 million copies, he must be giving out something right in his book! That's when I realized an age old lesson I had learnt during my late teens/early twenties - if everyone who bought Dale Carnegie's - How to make friends and influence people - with over 100 million copies sold(at least) the world would simply have been a whole lot more friendlier, understanding and happier - without any racial prejudice or intentional judgement and most certainly on a better economic parity between the rich and the poor! Sadly, that is not the case at all. If anything, the reality is far from being that simple. The rich would never want to just give away their power and money and the poor will always seek to get it for themselves with as little effort as possible - this remains irrespective of whether or not it is righteous. Also, it will serve well to know that Mr. Dale Carnegie is Mr. Andrew Carnegie's sibling. Yes, the same guys from Carnegie-Mellon Univ. and the vast steel empire, founded when railroads were privatized businesses and on an uptick only behind shipping. It's almost like the Rockefeller's and Rothschild's were giving lessons in grooming a horse, to a rancher, just because they can afford to gamble and lose big money without flinching a bit, on a horse race.
Anyways, having said things, I am also not the one to shy away from giving credit where it is due. And I am glad Mr.Covey cleared up a couple of fundamental things for me and for that, I am thankful indeed.

- Maturity is when you accept that the person you've become is not necessarily the person you wanted to be.
- There are three constants in life... Change, Choice and Principles.
Coming to think of it, am wondering, Steven Jobs and Stephen Covey., who could be the next Steve..?
