The Arrival of Fall

It's that time of the year, when the trees she their leaves

It's that time of the year, when the squirrels hide the nuts in the soil

It's fall... the winter is coming and all are preparing for it

Action/Inaction and Changing the World

 Blaise Pascal said this:

“All of humanity's problems stem from man's inability to sit quietly in a room alone.”

UG Krishnamurti said this:

 “The plain fact is that if you don't have a problem, you create one. If you don't have a problem you don't feel that you are living.”

There is an innate emptiness in human soul, that craves for some external stimuli to fill the void. If we dont act/dont do something we start to feel that emptyness. 

We create things, which creates other problems and then we create solutions to those problems and those in-turn create more problems. And this spiral continues forever and we derive meaning from being part of this spiral. I do not know if its a converging or diverging spiral.

The best thing in the larger context would be not to do anything, but for most of us its not possible.
