THE ART OF JUDGING A BOOK BY IT'S COVER

Image
By On

Travelling along the path carved by the biased and self-righteous society, we are not unfamiliar with one of the hypocritic statements,

           "Don't judge a book by its cover."

The statement has its share of truth, it sounds unfair to draw any opinion or judgment on a situation without acknowledging the whole picture.

But surprise, surprise!!

We have our judgy 'padoshwali' aunty, know-it-all 'ristedaars' and future-predicting parents.

Of course, the real world doesn't work that way. 

It has taken the saying as only a 'saying' literally. The world does judge the book by its cover. We all do consciously or not. Falsely accusing an innocent as a pickpocket in public just from the face and even predicting the reaction of a random person, at times it's to the point, and sometimes not.

Well, let me take you to the brighter side of the theory.

It's an art. It's the art of judging the present with previously known patterns while our brain has a high affinity for patterns. It keeps evolving and adjusting to new scenarios with the previously known patterns.

There exists a particular layer in the brain that is responsible for recognizing patterns called the Neocortex.

                                      Neocortex                 


According to Ray Kurzweil in his book "How to Create a Mind", he explains that the basic structure of the Neocortex is arranged around groups of neurons called pattern recognizers estimated to be 300 million in number. Kurzweil proposed that these recognizers can rewire themselves to one another to account for the new visual, number, nature, word, and people patterns we learn over time.

                                                                         How To Create A Mind

Think about it, this can be a superpower for predicting the next while manipulating the situation in our terms. Something that we always have done, but in a way, preferably more efficient. All you need is proper observation and fair judgment.

Actuality behind being a Devil

Picture Source: Pinterest At least for once in a person's lifespan, they rebel, don’t they? Well, the cycle of rebellion comes accompanied by retaliation and realization, which can be traced back to the creation of the universe as we know it. Since the upbringing of a child, they are taught a deeper sense of what’s right or wrong so they won’t get trapped in guilt and vilification of their deeds, but the laws of nature aren’t so simple, I guess. The one above all had something different planned for us as the boon of will was bestowed upon us, but some things are better understood the hard way. If we look into our past, every source of guidance was handed to us by the Way of Mystics which creates a major impression overall, guiding us to the right path. Stories that have been shared of God’s favorite son known as Samael The Light Bringer,  the wisest and charming among all, got so wonderstruck of his fruition that he dared to question the actions of The Almighty .

UNISON OF ANTITHETICAL

By Simran Kaisher On
Antithetical: directly opposed or contrasted; mutually incompatible. I'm cold as ice, you are hot as fire, My body was cold as snowflakes That you melted with your glare. My veins burnt with your touch, My heart boiled with the potions of your love. That glint in your eyes shivered my spine, My legs started trembling to see that mischievous smile of thine. Ice couldn't quench my thirst, Nor cud the fire did yours. But the day we met, Your hotness thawed my ice, My chill cooled your fire. We filled each other with The Elixir of Love. The mountains bowed, The wind trumpeted, The Universe stood in awe, At the sight of our unison. This beautiful poem is written by Miss Tanvi Patnaik aka Divine Fairy. She is a third-year student of Integrated MSc Biotechnology.  Praise the poet in the comment box and motivate her to keep on writing.
