Then again...

Is "Matrix" the future? Brains plugged into a big system, living their life in a virtual world, sensing things directly thru the brain waves? Are those real emotions or simulated?

Then again, what is REAL?The colors? the sounds? don't different species feel differently? If my sense of hearing, speech can be enahanced by using a cell phone, why not vision? why not emotions? why live the real life? Cause SOMEONE will have to keep the virtual systems working.

Are those people "backward" cause they are not living in the digital world?Then again, what defines progress?Is it the same for everyone? Can each person have his/her set of definitions of "progress"? Do you really have to measure your own life as per the GAP - Generally Accepted Perceptions? Maybe you are a loner and don't want to "belong" and you don't give a rat's arse.

Then again, aren't emotional bindings and sense of "belonging" overrated?It sounds to me like "slavery", where one is living as per external expectations and not on his own free will. What's wrong if we were to live like animals? Not naked!... but carefree... One day at a time... Where strongest and smartest ARE the survivers.

Random thoughts...

Does it have to have a theme? Does it have to be for public consumption? I guess not... I think I want to blog my thoughts only to come back and reflect upon the same; see how things have changed for me.

Current hot topics in my mind...

Health
- Quit Smoking (quitting tomm) / Gym (starting tomm!!!)
Wealth
- Loans Loans and loans (take more? pay back more?)
- Make more money, work smart (such a ghisa pita line)
- Spend less (yeah right!)
Happiness
- Attitude shift (AS 1) - Digest the fact that I can only change myself
- AS 2 - Start each day with a balanced view, "Things could have been a lot worse!!!"
- AS 3 - Acknowledge family as an important piece of my life and treat everyone well
- AS 4 - Coach kids better
