Random Thought: Conflicting World
Once I realized that many things (probably, everything) is the world is conflicting in nature I was surprised and found it difficult to comprehend the rationale behind it. When I say conflict I mean this. For example, say, one enjoys drinking beer. So he drinks..drinks..then his liver will be spoiled! One enjoys..smoking..he smokes.. smokes..will soon find his lungs useless. Why it should be like that. Why something which gives momentary joy is harmful? Why can't we have such a lungs which gets better and better by smoking? A lever functions well with consumption of alcohol? Same with capitalistic economy and free market. Globalization and localization.
Job which give more money means less satisfaction and vice-versa (software and academics). Beautiful girls come at empty brains ! More power means less mileage for a bike! Everything in nature is conflicting type. God only knows why!

If I talk in my usual language. The real world is multi-objective in nature. There are multiple objectives. What we are seeing are solutions of such a problem which are designed using many such objectives. Mystery is we don't know all the objectives. Finding the objectives is a inverse problem which means hard to solve. This, in spiritual language, called searching for "purpose of life". So, when viewed from different objectives solutions are definitely conflicting in nature. Conclusion is god gave us life which is "an inverse problem" !!

This a world of dualities. The fact is, everything in this world comes with two effects - the good and the bad. You have two choices - either you take both or you take none.
Everything comes in pair - joy/sorrow, pleasure/pain, heat/cold, light/darkness.
Answer lies in renunciation - detachment. its not about giving up. Its about understanding the fact that every good thing comes with its bad effect and hence treating everything alike. Not getting too much attached with one. You can't hate one side of coin and love another (usually we do ...). they are just the same. Virtue is no better than vice, they are just different (as Calvin Puts it ...)
The point is there is nothing good and bad ... they are just two ways of looking at same thing. What is good to you may be bad to me .... One should take them as two facets of same coin.
