Flaws in our thinking
1. Education makes a person intelligent
Education - A scheme which firmly believes in creating many yardsticks, a system to compare, if one is better than the other, and if so, by how much.. The difference between u n the next guy is just a number. A system which people accept because it has treated them well, and desert it once they have not manipulated it right ... n the best part of it of course, u r not in control of this system. Its like that nightmare, where u r falling deep into an abyss, with Mozart playing in the background.. and then, u hear the deafening silence. The ambitious ones might actually try to change the system, but eventually realise that they too r human, n have to give in to their needs. Well.. at this point, its not the thought that counts. A global game in which a lot of people participate, to learn to create needs, which people never even knew existed, ultimately leading to a never ending cycle of more n more need.
Intelligence - One of the truest forms of art, which as its very property makes itself immeasurable. Reason: Man doesnt know all the forms of intelligence, he hasnt figured out everything yet (Is it even possible to reach the end of the kinds of intelligence?) The Tshirt witticism "I was born intelligent but education ruined me" seems very true to me. In MY opinion, creativity is intelligence, the use of ur brains to bring a new concept, a new idea into this world. But somewhere along the road, due to the lack of some kind of resources, the new idea is abandoned. In man's search for practicality, a whole new idea, however radical, is deserted.. The world has been built on radical ideas.

I really cudnt title this, but it definitely is a flaw.. coz the other day i was reading an Indian epaper, a very popular one btw, and the main headlines are sub-divided into four main categories, India, Pakistan, The United States, AND The rest of the world!!!
I was really surprised! This is what atleast the press considers the our world to be made up of, there are absolutely no other countries in the world? And believe me, there were no sub-divisions in the rest of the world.
And wat else, the same paper, sunday edition, (physical this time) quoted news something like this... " US has an inflation rate of .. Europe has an inflation rate of .. EVEN INDIA HAS AN INFLATION RATE OF .. ".. With just one statement, Our whole country of wide variety of cultures, rich heritage, is reduced to.. an EVEN. And BY AN INDIAN!!
The power of the absolute suggests that u r competing not with the others but against urself, against a set goal say something like 100 marks.. U dont care abt how much each one gets, but u need to be as close to 100 as possible, of course there is no way that u cud arrive at such a figure for development, but u r competing against the set goals nonetheless. V shudnt join the leagues, V need standards of our own.. Of course, all this is just MY opinion, in case Big Brother is watching.
This post is titled flaws in our thinking... or is just my thinking... flawed?

Katrina Disaster Blog
Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice defended President Bush on Sunday against charges that the government's sluggish response to Hurricane Katrina showed racial insensitivity.
Hi, you have a great blog here! I'm definitely going to bookmark you!

Good one....different thinking !!...From my side...Creativity also means observing things in your surroundings what others have not even thought about it...it may be silly and simple ....but has gr8 value.
Education and its system, i wont comment abt coz its too flamy!!
--------------------------
Creativity is intelligence??
Nope, dont think so....
Intelligence : The ability to comprehend; to understand and profit from experience
Creativity springs from intelligence... Usually thats how it happens..... Coz only after understanding wahts present using ur intelligence, can u make something new out of all that(creativity) A way of giving a known understood object a new dimension or use (creativity)
Creativity : bring into existence
-----------------------------------
"V shudnt join the leagues"
What league are you talking abt?
@Murali
I clearly stated that it was my opinion in my blog, but thanx for sharing ur viewpoint
----------------------------------
"Intelligence : The ability to comprehend; to understand and profit from experience"
Let me just say hypothetically that there are two people talking about an issue in France(lets assume in English), and an Indian joins their conversation. In this case, (like many of us have felt in our own daily lives) the Indian may not be able to comprehend the conversation. And according to this definition, the Indian is not intelligent enough . The definition doesnt seem too right, now.
Let me illustrate to you another situation. A very simple one, but it will suffice. Lots of issues are printed in the news paper. And there are a lot of them u may not really care about or relate to, and when people talk abt it, u may not be able to come out with any contribution at all, and u try to change the topic (How many times have u not seen this happen? People talk something else coz they r not able to talk abt something u r talking abt). In this case too, the above definition is a snap judgment.
I differ even on the definition of creativity. Mozart started playing at the age of two or three. And clearly it isnt sufficient time to understand whats present, BUT he STILL came out with something completely new and different. He DIDNOT need to comprehend, he just came out with what he heard in his head.
But let me reiterate.. thats just my opinion, but thanx for sharing ur viewpoint.
-----------------------------------
The leagues are the competition. The other countries, even going to extent of competing with them, coz really, u cannot compare. U can only compare for example say, India's present inflation rate, and its previous inflation rate, not one country's with another's. The reiteration follows.
