Inventories... Classification... Self Assessment... Objectivity... HOW??

Writing pages about my life ... trying to find evidences about my life in random pieces of paper made by people to ease classification of the world into manageable categories.

How so ever much these inventories and exercises might claim to emphasize on the differences between people, except for maybe the basis of classification (the questions) somehow I cant help but see a lot of parallel between them and the zodiac in terms of the interpretation... Giving so generic statements of goods and bads some of which ought to apply to any normal person...

What is it if not just the illusion of allowing differences amongst people.....

And then writing a exercise like self assessment report....maybe its our own perspectives that matter the most since we shall live with it forever....

However, I believe in the fact that there are different perspectives to anything ... so i guess even our lives come within that ambit and hence somewhere I feel we should somewhere factor in other's view points too or else we would be living in a make belief world... never knowing the reality and maybe just living in a dream land....

A world where some people choose to glorify themselves...
And some others choose to underestimate ...
Some choose to cry all the way
While the others just smile all the way...
Some people who choose to be irrational
Others who think they are rational
But still I believe there ought to be some people who choose to look at life objectively...
Sifting the wheat from the chaff and making intelligent choices .... Rationally....
I am still to meet one of those people...
And am looking forward to this rendezvous...

And when I meet that person I just want to ask 'How?...'

It's very true, there are always different perspective to anything and no exception with our life also.

Let's see the above lines in a different way. One's act defines their perspective and the act is reaction due to external or internal changes in the environment(may be permanent or temporary). The everybody has different reaction to the same changes, hence everybody has a different perspective to anything.(hence proved :P)
