Day 326 of wisdom
“Smooth shapes are very rare in the wild but extremely important in the ivory tower and the factory.”
Benoit Mandelbrot
For everyone and everything there is a place of relevance, life is never dominated by an idea, a person, a certain philosophy or any group of people, everyone has a space in the scheme of life. A phenomenon that is very important, crucial and indispensable in a particular field of human endeavour may never be thought about in a similar field. Every field has its principles, ideals, codes, and guides which must be duly and vehemently adhered to.
When we see a man who considers something so dearly that we do not reckon with at all, we must not reach conclusions on the vainness of his preferences but seek to consider the reasons for which he has endeared such to himself. Life is more about purpose, importance, and usefulness than perspective and perception. A very important tool in a mechanic workshop would be absolutely useless in a baker's bakery, and vice versa, but the lack of that tool in the workshop of a mechanic makes the Mechanic useless and same for a Baker.
Everyone is unique in his own way, and no one is supposed to be another person, or do take another person's place in the fulfillment of purpose we are all meant to shine differently as stars in our own world. As Hermann Hesse said, "We are sun and moon, dear friend; we are sea and land. It is not our purpose to become each other; it is to recognize each other, to learn to see the other and honour him for what he is: each the other's opposite and complement." We are meant to complement each other and not to oppose each other, so, when we see an avenue to be of assistance to each other we must not fail to do the needful.
Everyone has his own space, purpose, and value and must be respected for it, we must not be driven into the web of competition, a straight line is as important to an Architect as his end product, but to a butcher it is of no use, absolutely unimportant. Live your life based on your purpose and not based on another man's purpose or plan for your life, you have your journey and everyone's journey is different from each other, so, take charge of your destiny, consider not another man's ways but yours, and life will be to you a jolly ride.
