100 Words of Tangent
The goal is to write 1000 words of something and when you think about something you are actually doing yourself a service. Because the alternative is to think about everything and then you are lost. If you go out and try to feed everyone, it’s a futile exercise but if you intend on feeding one person then you might succeed. But this exercise is futile too, when you force yourself to do anything then it does exactly that – does anything and there is not much thought into the process. Or maybe it does – think about all the serendipity that happens because you go out on random journey. In fact there is a Youtube channel around this idea- YES theory. The basic notion is to say no and you will save yourself awakward time and while that is true, the opposite is true too. When you say YES to new opportunities, you open up doors to something which wasn’t before. But the opportunities don’t come knocking everyday – not literally. But everyday is an opportunity, you can choose to wake up and do the same things again and again or you can try something new. You have a job to do, feed your family and be fit and that’s a task in itself. Humans were not designed for this. But somehow we have found ourselves in this situation where you have to earn your living. But if you have been doing that, then yhou are lucky. But also, you will get bored and want to do more from your life. And that’s where the art comes in. Art is anything that you do which creates an emotion for someone else. Initially it will be for yourself but slowly you will share the art with others and it will have an impact. But does art have an impact. If so to what extent – and if someone says they have been inspired by an art to commit a crime, what should we do? The answer seems obvious – adults are responsible for their choices but still we see debates around this idea. Because it’s easy to blame it on art. Sure, art has the capacity to change but the onus always lies with the individual. If I cheat, break and think about the next topic to write about then is it a tangent writing or is it a cheating only if you guys know about it. But whatever the case maybe you have to trust because what’s the alternative.
