WHO IS AN OUTSIDER ?

29 06 2008

 According to Wikipedia   ……Outsider often refers to one identified as on the periphery of social norms, one living or working apart from mainstream society, or one observing a group from the outside, as used in:

  • Outsider Art, created by artists working outside the mainstream art world
  • Outsider music, composed or performed by musicians working outside the musical mainstream

   So an outsider has the following traits:

  •    He/She works outside the mainstream
  •    He/She observes the world from outside
  •    He/She is a non-conformist

    

    …..but by no stretch of imagination….an outsider is a no-gooder !

                In fact……an outsider USUALLY provides the main stream with the so called PRACTICAL TIPS for living a more meaningful life !!!

 





IS CHANGE ALWAYS DANGEROUS ?

21 06 2008

HI FRIENDS (MAVERICKS):

There is an old saying:

“There is a danger in reckless change…but there is even more danger in blind conservatism !!!”

I for one totally support this idea….although the purists might argue that it is a RADICAL THOUGHT PROCESS !

But then….only radical ideas can bring forth a meanibgful REDEFINING of norms of society…

…… We dont have to re invent the wheel….but we can surely re engineer a more effective process ….so that the wheels of life move with more ease,grace,efficiency …….and humanness !

….what are your views ?
