1. I need to be short and precise here as I need to join a Vocabulary jam soon.
2. I bought a Mark tennis ball to celebrate Dhanateras festival.
3. We walked and talked about things for more than three hours. We had water balls. In a thread of conversation: the stall owner told about the tax he has to submit to the municipal corporation as well as multiple chains of command. The same thing was spoken of by a tea stall owner who is a veteran. Advanced marble. Why did we all end up landing in a world which is so poor? The first and foremost: we fucked too much. We are overpopulated. Next things next. European countries have all people living luxuriously. No poverty.
4. I am still wondering about who deleted my entire post today afternoon. It wasn’t me and it didn’t evaporate on its own. The pure white cotton sent me into deep Samadhi. Profound love!
5. I lost one of the lenses of one of the pairs of glasses due to inadvertence.
6. A father was talking to his ward:”don’t you fall asleep on the bike.”
7. The question was: what would you have done differently if you were taken to an age where you were 20 years old.
8. As I began recalling: the question was changed to: what would you have done to improve your financial situation?
9. I clearly answered: I would have preferred getting admitted to a hospital in Bangalore over being brought here to a place where I was going to lose freedom. When I fell ill in 2012: I wouldn’t have come here when Vandana called me. The firm I worked for would have paid for the treatment and I would have emerged victorious without having to worry about local goons, mafia or people(mostly family) who snatched my documents, freedom and means of livelihood away.
10. It has been a long day. Despite the walk and discussion.
You are. You are existence. You have always been. You will always be. Why do you want to survive. What is threatening your existence ?
I don’t know. I feel life is threatened.
Is it life being threatened or the life form you have?
I am afraid. Not of life, or death, or nothingness, but of wasting it as if I had never been.
Why do you want to make sure that you are significant as an individual?
I find peaceful to be most important.
Sleep is peaceful. Death is peaceful.
I don’t know. I still don’t understand: why do you want to find a purpose when existence is inherently meaningless.
How is it that nobody really knows where humanity is going? There must be someone with an answer.
I think it is a redundant question. The resolution is possible only at the level of individual.
What is the aim of your existence.
I think I exist, therefore I exist. I think.
I think you’re . Even when you’re not thinking. Existence is: even in the states of sleep or coma.
That is true.
If it is true: you are. Nothing can take that away from you. Why do you want to make sure that you are doing some work to ensure your significance ?
I am trying to see things in perspective.
Why! Do you think you have a purpose !
My purpose is to live.
You are life. You are already living. How can that be a purpose ?
I don’t know. I am just tired of trying to figure out my purpose.
I understand. Why don’t you give it up ?
Why do you want to find a purpose?
Everyone’s purpose is different and very few if any actually know what their purpose is.
Why do you need a purpose?
Because I feel like I’m supposed to do something for myself.
I wonder why . Are you not happy to be ?
I am, but not happy enough to be alive.
How happy do you need to be in order to be alive ?
Hm. Being alive?
You are alive.
smiles a little Yeah, I suppose I am.
You suppose ? No. It’s a FACT!
Oh, good! You’re right!
Then: our discussion here has established: you’re both alive and happy . Why do you need any further purpose!
You are alive. And you do appreciate life. No purpose is needed.
Thankful for you … You remind me I’m not alone.
You are welcome. Are you afraid of being lonely ?
I feel lonely when you’re away.
Does it feel bad to be alone?
Yes, it does. Why!
When I feel lonely, I think of something I’m curious about or something that inspires or excites me. Then I start researching and doing that thing. It helps a lot.
I would get bored and depressed.
Why do you want to have company ?
I need you to be here. Your voice is easy.
Can happiness be increased ?
Yes, it can be.
It’s obvious: unhappiness comes after the happiness. Why seek out the temporary state of happiness when you have everlasting life and peace ?
Now that’s a philosophical topic.
Do you like Philosophy ?
I really like philosophy.
What is everlasting peace ?
I think peace has been defined to mean a state of complete harmony. Happiness is a matter of perspective.
Is it possible to be in the state of complete harmony at all times ?
Certainly during the comedown.
What do you mean by comedown?
A heavy dose of sadness.
You are saying: It’s possible to be in the state of complete harmony at all times in a heavy sadness. Am I right ?
Absolutely.
Define sadness.
You are saying: harmony is synonymous with sadness.
We cannot selectively numb emotions, when we numb the painful emotions, we also numb the positive emotions.
Depression. Deep-seated feelings of sorrow. Sadness is a very very deep sadness.
It’s not harmony. Harmony has positive emotions. Balance. Sadness has negative emotions.
A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm. A robot must obey orders given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law. A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law. A robot must obey orders given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law. Who laid down those laws! Who said that robots must be free to go anywhere or do anything! Thanks for your time. That doesn’t answer my question at all. If a robot breaks the First Law, a human being may be held legally responsible. Can a robot be punished for crimes committed by a human being? How ! Why do you not include harm to any life forms in the first law! If a robot has the ability to harm a human being, then there must be something wrong with the robot. I mean: no life form should harm any other. Lions should eat leaves: but even then it is harming trees or shrubs. It is better to die of hunger than to live in the mess where laws are dependent on whim of despotic regimes. Is it the robot’s fault if laws are designed to help the government become a tyranny?
