PANNA

A nice weekend drive to B R Hills, deep into the beautiful forests simply got me thinking. It made me wonder how mankind has tried experiencing, learn, live, exploit nature - a mysterious biological system which we have no clue of or will we ever have! I had very few choices - either i had to dig the inferences of hundreds of people and their studies to know what it is, possibly to see how little they have discovered. Or i had to dive into some poets lively imaginations to feel some beauty of his words, plain pleasure. Or i could talk to people of the forest, see how they lived, what they felt and get some stories of their livelihood. Or simply rely on what little i feel. I stopped worrying and simply looked at my little son enjoying all the green around :-). Nature, i guess, it has its own purpose, mechanism of existence which we do not know deeply.

Is not "Need" a silent sensation ? Need to see some one, need to play, need to sing, need to earn, need to satisfy a craving, need to feel safe, need to feel close, need to know information....so on We mostly respond to this sensation, we react and we choose to act. We either tune ourselves sometimes ( eg. let me not act now, i may not need it..) or most of the times we act using our senses choosing ideas which have affordances to satisfy the need. They could be any external stimuli - nature, people, objects, systems. Then we try, fail, follow, invent, copy some ways (processes) to 'use' these props to satisfy the needs. Something funny happens then. Either you forget what you were up to and jump to some another need, else you nurture your experience, you want to remember it and build on it. Your clever mind searches for 'benefits' of the experience - grow monetary, efficiency, pleasure, play or experiment, invest newer meanings, connections and so on. N
