World View: i am a firm believer that we as individuals inherit only part of our frame works of seeing and knowing the world ... we grow up with certain frame works and familiarities and then go on to the world outside , in order to shape our own views through our individual experiences ... that is why 2 children born and raised in the same family can have 2 total different outcomes and perspectives from one another ... I personally experienced this phenomena first hand in my own life... i was raised in a totally different environment as the one I lived in my adult life ... me and my brother both left our childhood home at the same age, but due to our different inherited qualities and personalities, followed very different paths of experiencing things . therefor in our adulthood , we whom both were raised by the same parents and in the same society as children , are 2 very different individuals in the way we see the world and live our lives !
Milan Kundera, asks “why has the pleasure of slowness disappeared. Speed is the form of ecstasy the technical revolution has bestowed on man. As opposed to a motorcyclist, the runner is always present in his body.”
Pleasure in slowness has disappeared; WHAT!!!? It has not. Disappeared, may just be the wrong word. It might just be LATE or just, has not caught up yet. A lot of times questions live short of their answers. But, every generation has to slow down at some point. Whether it be physical or mental; this kind of leading to the question of can you gain all the knowledge of the world once your limitations force you to slow down? I do not know yet… But if I wreck that motorcycle, I might find out sooner then later...
