What a gap

Amazingly, it took me almost one and a half year to blog again. Was something refraining me or was it writer's blog or one and half year went without anything to move or influence me?


Learning chain

Have you noticed sometimes you read something interesting and you want to know whether its true or not. One source is not enough. You doubt the existence of the same. But you dont make any effort in searching the same. Not even google it.

And then, the same term or phrase keep appearing again and again in front of you. It only throws hint but never confirms.

The same happened with me. One day I was totally bored in office so went to library and after a long time I picked a book which had nothing to do with finance and derivatives ( my usual readings) titled How full is your bucket (Not recommended as a must read sort).

There I came to know that North Koreans had this technique of causing negativity and loneliness in its POW so that they dont care about their own existence. And without even firing a bullet in air, NKs killed many a people.

I was little apprehensive about the technique. People always find something to live for. No matter how bad is the situation. I read the book. The only thing I caught this brain washing technique.

And then next day I was watching Shutter Island ( a pretty good movie). I am all hooked up. And suddenly Leonardo comes with a dialogue explaining the same technique. It hit me like wow so this thing really exists (atleast as per America).

May be the mind gets too engaged and alert that it keeps looking for the references and words pertaining to what the mind is searching for. Mind makes it own way.

But if that is true and mind makes its own way then how can we influence it? Deliberately feeding it with opposite information it is looking for.

May be thats how NK worked.
