Here's me peeking over the edge into Hive Ecosystem. Thanks to my friend . Let me count three ways I am a cockroach, apart form the fact that I love to live in the cracks of human society and live on the refuse people throw away.
- I love the dark more than the light: Personally, philosophically and in many ways I buck the trend. I remember reading a book called "If you meet the buddha on the road, kill him" (Sheldon Kopp). I was born into a family of Practising Christians in a country where 98% people believe in other religions. I grew up to question much of the stuff I have learnt. So today my faith is a mishmash of so many different religions. Yet I am happy being neither this or that (which is the same as saying I am That - for those who understand Indian Philosophy).
- I am not a Psychologist: Yeah I have been a student all my life, and I have a PhD - from the Faculty of Humanities & Social Sciences! Where I studied not just How we become what we are. But also how we know who we are (epistemology). I love exploring so many fields, that I cannot identify with any particular field
- I do not know who my audience is: I keep thinking there must be people who want to talk to people like me. But I do not have a defined Target Demographics. Most of my friends would say I my writing is too complicated when I write from my heart without an audience in mind. But most people have no problems understanding me one to one.
That's just 3. I can think of may more. Even the idea of the cockroach is not mine. I stole it from Kafka. Do we have any idea that is not stolen? Don't ideas have a life of their own, independent of whoever holds them temporarily?
