In a world of labels and divisions, let's talk about something timeless: the truth of kinship that Bruce Lee embodied. 🌏 Picture this: Bruce Lee, faced with a question of identity, responds not with a label but with a universal truth. The truth of kinship. Lee was interviewed by Canadian journalist Pierre Berton, & was asked whether he identified as Chinese or American. His response was “Under the sky, under the heavens, there is but one family.” Bruce Lee was remembered for his kindness and the use of simple phrase "my friend "- was a reflection of how he saw the world – as one interconnected family. His response to prejudice? Learning love, acceptance, and light. It's not about excusing hate but rising above it with compassion. Can we embody this in our interactions? We needn’t be everybody’s best friend, but we can be fellow humans. We can continue Lee’s legacy of modeling acceptance and light, even if it takes us some time to get to the unconditional love he embodied. In this context a new divide coming up post 5 States election - NORTH vs SOUTH - by media. Is it justified ? Even our Shastras say - 👇 अयं निजः परो वेति गणना लघुचेतसाम्। उदारचरितानां तु वसुधैव कुटुम्बकम्॥ अर्थात् : यह मेरा है ,यह उसका है ; ऐसी सोच संकुचित चित्त वोले व्यक्तियों की होती है;इसके विपरीत उदारचरित वाले लोगों के लिए तो यह सम्पूर्ण धरती ही एक परिवार जैसी होती है | ( This is 'my' & 'yours' - it reflects parochialism. For cosmopolitans - the entire world is a family ) Do such divisive entities raise their monstrous head because of the hibernative tendencies of the public at large ? What's your say ? Follow Parijat Saurav Anand for such insights.

As the communications bandwidth goes up in any system, the system tends to homogenize. This is how life became multicellular, how families became tribes, and how tribes became nations. Now that inter-human bandwidth is about to be jacked sky-high through AI + the internet, expect more homogenization. For better or worse, it's inevitable. And yes, we absolutely should be trying to preserve diversity, but we'll need to do it in a way that encourages productive dialogue and avoids tribalism and xenophobia.

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of light, it was the season of darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair. Charles Dickens, A Tale of Two Cities The folly of our present existence is staggering, as we witness the rise of individuals proclaiming themselves as the sole embodiment of science, disregarding the essence of collective discourse and the enrichment it brings to theoretical physics. It's a manifestation of sheer arrogance, degrading the principles of open debate and intellectual growth. Moreover, dissenting opinions that challenge the narratives of the privileged are systematically silenced, erasing the hard-earned contributions of those who dare to question the status quo. This modern-day Inquisition is driven by nothing but greed, where global intellectualism is stifled by the overpowering influence of bullies, thugs, and the relentless guardians of social media. It's a disturbing reality that threatens the very foundation of free thought and expression. Perhaps, in this era of mass hysteria and cancel culture, we'll reach a point where everyone is nullified in a world devoid of meaningful dialogue and progress. As George Orwell once cautioned, "The further a society drifts from truth, the more it will hate those who speak it." Let us strive to uphold the values of intellectual freedom and diversity of thought, lest we descend further into the abyss of ignorance and conformity.

As a collective, we have a bad habit of not listening to others or asking questions. Instead of considering different perspectives, we quickly dismiss other people's ideas and undermine their credibility. We stubbornly cling to our own opinions, even when they are clearly flawed, and we fail to explore alternative options. It's time to start opening our minds and engaging in meaningful dialogue. Let's challenge ourselves to be more receptive to new ideas and willing to ask questions that push us to think critically. #collective #notlistening #askquestions #perspective #differentperspective #ideas #dismiss #undermine #credibility #stubborn #cling #opinions #alternative #options #meaningfuldialogue #dialoge #receptive #newideas #criticalthinking #mystic #rosebudbeijaflor #spiritualalchemist #whispersofwisdom

Feel Good Sunday: Jonathan Haidt: The moral roots of liberals and conservatives Jonathan Haidt delves into the fascinating realm of moral values that shape our political choices, regardless of whether we identify as left, right, or center. Through his thought-provoking talk, he uncovers the core moral values that liberals and conservatives typically hold dear. Let's explore the concept of innateness, where the brain's initial organization is not solely dependent on experience. Nature provides a foundation, which experience then refines. It's important to note that "built-in" doesn't imply rigidity; rather, it signifies an organization pre-established before encountering life's experiences, as Gary Marcus aptly explains. Take a moment to step outside the confines of your own moral perspective. Recognize the ongoing struggle in which everyone believes they are right, even if their beliefs differ from yours. Each person has their reasons. So, let's challenge ourselves to step out of the moral matrix and gain a broader understanding. Step out of the moral Matrix, just try to see it as a struggle playing out, in which everybody thinks they're right, and even if you disagree with them, everybody has some reasons for what they're doing. Step out. https://lnkd.in/gPjBiKGh At Loquat we stand for humanity, respect for all people, individual freedoms and financial inclusion. #Loquat #motivation #leadership #experience

Hello, wonderful new friends! With the recent surge in connections and followers, it's time for a re-re-reintroduction. If you're curious about my previous intros, check the comments below. But today, let's explore the philosophical side of me. Life isn't always black and white—it's a kaleidoscope of shades of gray. I firmly believe that the complexities of humanity and society cannot be simplified into simple binaries. I embrace the power of unity while recognizing the value of individuality. It's about balancing the greater good without compromising the individual. I firmly believe that all lives matter, but I also acknowledge that accountability is crucial. Those who have caused harm to the innocent must face consequences, for justice paves the way to a fairer world. In the realm of economics, I champion the ideals of capitalism. However, I firmly believe that it should never come at the expense of the underserved and underprivileged. Let's build a system that uplifts everyone and leaves no one behind. (Hello decentralization) I believe that understanding the difference between equality and equity is crucial for bridging our societal divide. I know That we can all strive to do better—individually and collectively. We cannot let tribalism diminish our humanity. I'd love to hear your thoughts! Share your perspective on the beautiful complexities of life in the comments below. Let's keep the conversation going!

"perception begets knowledge when images bump into our sensory organs”. https://lnkd.in/dr4wZdf2 I believe the ancient philosophers were describing some of our current wanna be autocrats (again) in America and elsewhere who tell us what "truth" is. Shakespeare got it right also with these words - "fair is foul and foul is fair". https://lnkd.in/d6sZe9Ma Our world has transitioned into a space where the political bullies in our world are coming together to support a world where truth is covered up by false perceptions and fear. We all suffer when we voters and business leaders fail to use critical thinking to sort out fact from fantasy in our political leaders. When we allow these charlatans to paint their perceptions into the fabric of our reality we all suffer. And in our world too many suffer because of our collective failure to use critical thinking in our voting and business decisions.

A widespread belief has taken root among the world's population—that there is insufficient abundance to share. This sense of scarcity is propagated by individuals who have gained control over the majority of the world's resources. This notion is embedded in our minds and consistently reinforced by our daily observations. It's essential to change our perspective and engage our intellect in observation. Let's awaken to timeless truths, unaffected by the influence of those driven by greed. The passage addresses the idea that many people around the world have come to believe that there's not enough resources or opportunities for everyone. This belief is described as a "seed of discontent," a notion that has been planted in people's minds. The passage suggests that this perception of scarcity is being perpetuated by those who have control over a significant portion of the world's resources. The call to "see with our minds" encourages a shift in perspective, moving beyond what we observe with our physical eyes and questioning the narrative of scarcity. The author emphasizes the importance of recognizing that this perception is not a natural or universal truth but is influenced by those who may be motivated by greed. The closing statement urges readers to "wake up to eternal truths," encouraging a deeper understanding of fundamental and enduring principles that are not manipulated by the self-interest of a few individuals. Overall, the passage calls for a reconsideration of the prevailing narrative and a more thoughtful, critical approach to understanding the distribution of resources and opportunities in the world.
