Duality
We touch lives! Today, in more ways than one. Just the internet has enabled us to break boundaries, but could we just attribute it to this? I think, humans invented language to communicate; and, through communication we express, we record and we understand. One may say, this intelligence is fairly well distributed in that sense.
I recently was introduced to a forum called "ORKUT". It was started off by a Stanford Phd who worked for Google. As of today, ORKUT has over 2,000,000 subscribers. It is amazing to think that the ideology put forth by one man was able to unite so many. Orkut, is a social networking forum where people can meet old friends and make new ones. This website is like the "lost and found" friends, and one man will be unsung in those lives, but the credit will always remain his, Orkut Büyükkökten.
Velupillai Prabhakaran, Usama Bin Laden, Dawood Ibrahim, James Bulger, Mullah Mohammed Omar, are also celebrities in their own right.They have touched lives too, touched lives in the most inconsiderate way possible. They are celebrities who deserve to die according to many laws and lands!
They, over the years, through the crimes they purportrated, have become these figures whose aura exceeds far beyond their existence.What makes these men so conspicous and unpredictable? What makes them the master mind behind the most henious acts commited on earth in the 21st century.
Duality is widespread in this universe. The ying and yang of our universe are these men and women who have given up their existence for an ideology. Bill Gates, Gerry Adams, Mahatma Gandhi, Usama Bin Laden, Albert Einstein, Mullah Mohammed, Pink Floyd, and the list goes on. All of these men, have touched many lives growing up. But, somewhere, sometime, someone, happened to change their lives. It went on to change our lives forever.
I guess, it is important that we realize duality within us and balance it. We may just not be aware of how, when and why?
but, we touch lives....

The duality will exist until the very last moment when the universe becomes perfect.
Do you think all the people good or bad on your list realized how many lives they were touching? And did that matter to them? By the way.... I live in Jefferson City....
Bo, i feel intelligence is uniformly distributed.it is how we harness this intelligence that determines us, i think.
Jeff city huh...guess you know where I am at then :)
