Perspectives, complexity

A dice has six sides. But the world we live in has numerous sides.
Numerous perspectives. Therefore, we have to be alert and be able to think & see from as many perspectives as possible. 

This world is complex. But we always tried to see things in simpler ways.
That's why we invented matrix, formulas to make things easier for us to see.
Yes, these things work but within constraints. For example, gravity formula will not work on moon. 

Nevertheless, we do need them. And yes, i love matrix. But i know it's limitation. We must be aware and conscious of them. Otherwise, we will fail. 

And fail men shall be.. thru greed, pride and great ego. So be humble, honest & caring instead. We always think we are tough. We are strong. Look at the people around us and you will also see how weak we can be. We break our bones easily. Yes, we can be tough in our mind.. thru mind practicing/training. Ignorance has no excuse, however. 

So how shall we live this world? Thru wisdom, knowledge of this world, meditation & true compassion. Yes, we still need those simplified tools. But we need to know their limitations.

Blessings.
