Means and Ends

Often what we learn and experience from an action is totally different from what we expected when we thought of it. The results of our actions are very often unexpected. That is one more reason why our actions have to be justifiable on their own right and not by the results they produce.

We often say, "Ends don't justify means". The means have to worthy not because they produce some end result that is desirable. The means have to be defendible independent of the results they produce.

Joy of absorption in work

I have observed that often lot of thoughts distract me when I work. But if I focus on work and concentrate well, slowly I get really absorbed in work and the distracting thougths stop or become less intense. Absorption in work gives great pleasure and satisfaction. The greates balm for any distress is absorption in work.

What is this blog about?

This is my new blog. The idea is to post one good thought everyday. Should the thought be original? Or can I do a "copy-paste". I am not sure how it should be. When the idea of this blog came to mind, I wanted it host only my thoughts. But coming up with one good thought to post everyday will be a tough challenge. Also, readers might find it more interesting if I post good thoughts of eminent men and women, rather than reading thoughts of some commoner. Let's see how it takes shape.
