I am product of big bang

  

As I have grown older, I have come to realize that nothing in my mind truly belongs to me. From my understanding of physical therapy to the way I perceive other individuals, all of my knowledge has been acquired from centuries of evolution. Even the thoughts expressed in this blog are not solely my own, but rather a culmination of ideas that I have read, contemplated, and understood from various sources throughout my life. My ability to write in English is a skill that I learned from my aunt, books, and schooling, all of which were passed down through generations of individuals who acquired knowledge from others before them. This chain of knowledge and learning stretches back to the beginning of time, perhaps even to the Big Bang. Without this cosmic event, there would be no planets, and without the cooling of the Earth, there would be no life. If that first fish had not dragged itself out of the water, if the Neanderthals had not reproduced, if Homo sapiens had not migrated to South India, my thoughts and ideas would be vastly different. It is humbling to consider just how interconnected and interdependent we all are, and how our collective knowledge has evolved over time.

I have come to understand that nothing truly belongs to me, not even the knowledge that I possess or the wealth that I have acquired (for the sake of this discussion, let's assume it's cognitive knowledge). I realize that the reason I was able to acquire this knowledge is because of the opportunities provided to me by my mother, who had an education and a good job. She was able to obtain this education because she was the firstborn in her family, and her parents placed a strong emphasis on education, unlike her siblings who were forced to drop out after only completing 5th grade for various reasons. As for my reading skills, I learned to read English books slightly later in life when I moved into a new house that my mother had built. My new friends, who came from upper-middle-class families with different aspirations and attitudes, introduced me to a reading culture that ranged from classics to silly pulp fiction. This exposure to reading likely helped me to improve my reading skills and, in turn, my understanding of PT. It is clear to me now that everything I have acquired, including my knowledge and wealth, is the result of a complex web of circumstances, opportunities, and people that have shaped my life.

I recall my mother telling me once that I should feel blessed if I am able to read real books in my middle age, not just pulp fiction. Out of all the things my mother told me, this statement stuck with me, and I always wanted to achieve that goal. I often wonder why this statement impacted me so deeply, and why I did not follow through on other things my mother suggested. Perhaps it is because of my Tamil teacher who taught me the Thirukkural, which contains a poem about education and scholars that I still remember to this day. I wonder what it was that made this particular poem stick in my mind, while others did not. Why did I not remember the gods and prayers that I was taught as a child? Why do I view prayer as something childish? The truth is that none of these thoughts or beliefs are truly original. They are all products of the knowledge and experiences that I have accumulated throughout my life, which were borrowed from others. The workings of the human brain are complex, and the reasons for our memories and beliefs are not always clear. Nonetheless, it is important to recognize that we are all products of our environment and that our thoughts and beliefs are influenced by the knowledge and experiences that we have borrowed from others.

Original thinking is fucking hard. Not now or millions of years back. If you have a original thought it should be the greatest think you have done- ever/ 

what does all these mean- My thoughts and beliefs are not truly original, but rather a reflection of the knowledge and experiences that I have borrowed from others. It is important to recognize that the self is an illusion, and that we are all interconnected and influenced by the world around us. While it is tempting to think of ourselves as unique individuals with our own ideas and beliefs, the truth is that we are all products of our environment and the complex interactions that have shaped our lives. By acknowledging this fact, we can begin to see ourselves and others in a more holistic and interconnected way, which can lead to a greater sense of empathy, understanding, and compassion.
