Direction forward in a multi-dimensional world?

Something dawned on me soon after 2008 began - and unlike a thousand other revelations I have and leave behind a couple of days later, this one somehow sticked with me a bit longer (discontinuously, of course - see previous post - but still...). I get the distinct impression that I'm growing out of things. Out of some things, at least (a sort of "pe ici pe colo, si anume în punctele esentiale":P).

And I'm thinking... Is this a sign of progress? Feels like it. Should be one. On the other hand... In our 3D world, when there are at least 360 different straight lines to follow from any given point (this before adding millions of winding paths, ups and downs, and a fourth coordinate - time)... isn't "forward" becoming a rather relative concept? And who's to say you started from the right point anyway?

Probably another proof of how confused (read "screwed up") I am :))

Despre cum am mai gasit o modalitate de a involua...

Pe masura ce trece timpul am impresia, nelinistitoare de altfel, ca nu devin mai inteleapta ci, dimpotriva, imi pierd din luciditate. Ca noi ne complicam existenta in mii de moduri e de la sine inteles (sau cel putin pt unii dintre noi - I am queen of lots of stuff, this included). Insa dincolo de asta.. "I am not young enough to know everything" al lui Oscar Wilde incepe sa sune altfel, nu doar a citat cinic si cvasi-umoristic.

Incerc sa ma autoconving ca poate pur si simplu nu stau bine la capitolul management, si motivul pentru care mi se pare din ce in ce mai greu acum sa privesc obiectiv unele lucruri se datoreaza faptului ca..sunt mai multe lucruri de privit. Sau mai serioase. Sau doar cu nume mai pompoase. Cu toate astea, nu pot sa nu iau in calcul si cealalta varianta: ca intr-adevar undeva pe drum s-a pierdut (sau doar atrofiat - ce bine ar fi) abilitatea de a vedea lumea la proportiile cuvenite. Desigur, totul in contextul in care oricum varianta 100% nedistorsionata nu exista..d'oh...

Cine stie, poate totusi claritate deplina nu poti avea decat intr-o lume inchisa, agatata de-un perete, disponibila spre examinare, insa inaccesibila si in fond ireala?...

I miss poppies...
