Things as They Are. Things as I Think of Them

As you may or may have not noticed, I changed the subtitle for my blogsite from, "Management, Leadership, Human Relations, Personal Finance, Arts and Music" to "Things as they are. Things as I think of them."

Why change? I realized that I didn't want to convey that I'm writing about certain topics, but rather to write about "what I think" of them.

Imagine you are sitting in sand at the beach, it's sunrise at 5:52 am, also feel that it's cold and your at one of the California beaches What does that look to you? I bet you it's completely different than mine. I also bet that your imagination of this particular picture your created in your mind is unique from everyone else. I can certainly guarantee that.

With that note, let me tell you about the things as they are and as I think of them.

When I say, "Things as they are." I mean them in a physical manner. Something that can be measured. Something that is observable. They are basically anything that is of our physical universe. Physical is objective. For example... our body is physical.

So, when I blog about the great Eiffel Tower - you know what I'm talking about. You can see it, or at least have seen the picture, you can touch it if you've been there, and you know how it looks. Eiffel Tower is a physical matter. Therefore, Eiffel Tower is something that is observable to the public.

When I say, "Things as I think of them." I mean them in a thinking manner. Something that cannot be measured. something that is not observable. They are basically anything that is of our mental universe. Mental is subjective. For example... our thoughts.

So when I blog about how the breeze affects my day - you may not know what I'm talking about. You can't see the breeze I'm talking about, you can't really picture it, nor can you touch the very breeze that I was talking about, and you definitely don't know how it looks. The breeze affecting me is mental, my own interpretation. Therefore, the affect of breeze to me is something that is unobservable to the public.

Consider the taste of pineapple. How tall is it? How wide? Mental things don't have physical dimensions like that.

Consider subtraction. Where is that located, Chicago or New York? Mental things don't have physical locations like that.

This is exactly why I read blogs, books, and most importantly - I stop to listen and hear what people have to say to access their private mental realm. I'm not more concern nor interested in the things that they say, it's their own interpretation of these things is what will keep my attention. I mean, I can talk to 20 of my friends about how they feel about the 80s music. I bet I would get different and rather entertaining responses.

We live in a physical realm where people can observe you physically. If you shout, you'll be heard. If you dance, you'll be seen. We also live in a mental realm where what you do with your mind is completely unobservable - your thoughts, emotions, and mental calculations).

Needless to say, the blogs you'll read here are my private mental recreations, imaginations, and interpretations based on observable physical environment that surrounds me. Let them serve you for entertainment only and nothing else.
