Just another rant

I find reading as one of the most relaxing tasks but writing anything (even simple things) as very stressful.

Wondering why? Is it because I m not used to it?

Tried to start free-writing but ironically the problem being that writing a lot is not very 'free' for me!

From now on, for some time at least, I ll try to keep writing regardless of mood or my stress-level. Hope doing this would  make me comfortable in writing!

THE END

Today I read the end of Holyland manga series. Even though it wasn't the best, I enjoyed all of its chapter thoroughly. And hate the fact that the author had to end it.

I hate it when any good series (manga, anime, movies, TV series, books) which I enjoy comes to an end. Somehow always wish that I get bored of it first and stop following than reading its end and hoping for more. But as usual, in life one doesn't always get what one wishes for.

What are your favorite series which you didn't want to end but ended anyway?

Constructed reality

Below is an excerpt from The Nature of Technology by Brian Authur

We, humans, use a frame of reference constructed from integrated sets of assumptions, expectations and experiences. Everything is perceived on the basis of this framework. The framework becomes self-confirming because, whenever we can, we tend to impose it on experiences and events, creating incidents and relationships that conform to it. And we tend to ignore, misperceive, or deny events that do not fit it. As a consequence, it generally leads us to what we are looking for. This frame of reference is not easily altered or dismantled, because the way we tend to see the world is intimately linked to how we see and define ourselves in relation to the world. Thus, we have a vested interest in maintaining consistency because our own identity is at risk.
