But Arjun, we are unharmonious creatures and agents of impertinent change. ‘We’ doggedly chase profit at the expense of harmony. Call me Puddleglum, but harmony would do well without us. I think we are, at our core, at odds with harmony. What say you?
Noted Sir. I’m hopeful but aware at core, only when the king will deliver, treat his subjects with justice and kindness, we’ll notice a desirable difference in human behavior. At home, when we proudly claim that our family members are loving and affectionate to each other, the reason definitely are the parents who nurture and raise their kids with right values.
Human beings are mean and greedy is cause we’ve been hammered time and again to give in to the rules laid by Wall street and Religious heads. The Govt is their slave and we are left vulnerable with no security whatsoever. Their promises are shallow and we’ve been fooled for centuries leaving us with no choice but to kill for our family’s well-being.
Deep down we are hurt, deprived, and left dejected and we know, this way of life is not what we truly are. We wish to be heard, cared and loved and we got no one but ourselves.
I appreciate you taking time out to write me a thought-provoking comment.
I couldn’t get your amazing capture out of my mind, it made me think of reflections – worlds away, from completely different perspectives, yet saying so much. I remembered this photo my husband took last year – look for the old woman’s face in the photo booth mirror. 🙂
Very interesting image. Just when you wonder what’s really happening inside the booth, you realize there’s a lady curious too but we’ll never find out!
And I can pray for the same for you and I do– every day. xx:-)
hmm use of the word defy appears to insist that one has authority over another to impose a will and that a personal harmony, that of the oppressor, will be seen as a lack of harmony, and therefore, to me is not harmony at all
That you’ll pick on me is a constant. The pertinent change is to accommodate you in my life irrespective of my over-emotional self that feels hurt, sometimes.
I dislike that you feel hurt. I know that my intent with you has yet to EVER be to create, to cause harm, or hurt. I am powerless over your expectation of me and also of your perception that my joy in examining things and truly wanting to see the behind and the vulnerable bits of how you think, is meant to rip you down. It takes a strength to sit in that feeling and to stay and to grow.
I have an inner hurt over not being understood and I have to work over what feels like a constant, to communicate and to engage, which is my joy. I know that the ones who bother to stick around are true companions. I thank you for being vulnerable.
always ready to share ideas, thoughts, crazy ones sometimes, I’m composing a poem at the mo, Sanity, “Sometimes I wonder am I quite Sane? then I think again,” ’tis in it’s infancy stage, the hook to start, type of thing.
Answer yourself first, what are you? sane or not, you’ll find the hook.
well, they do say if you have to ask the question, you’re sane… or mayhap I’m on the cusp.. 😉
Which means you believe you’re sane.
and madness is subjective. So, you could end asking your readers if they agree.
could indeed, often wondered about perspective, one mans sanity could appear quite doolally to another. I mean, my reasoning about something could appear illogical to you and vice versa.
Hence, I said, ask yourself first. If you believe you’re sane, nothing matters but to make it a fair play, ask your readers, their response will enhance your perspective.
This IS a great picture. Beautifully caught. It took a while (and luckily not through reading the comments;) for me to realise it were mirrors because I was first wondering who the old guy bottom right is. That question remains … who is he?
I realize with your comment I should’ve written a few words along. Anyway, too late but thank you for your question.
He is Mahatma Gandhi. I’m sure that rings bells. Man who preached us the message of Non-violence. He said “Nothing but change is constant” and I happened to click a literal picture of his message where the old guy is constant and the world is ever-changing in the mirrors.
Do. I was in for a surprise. What I wrote here was before reading him.
I think I just like saying his name!! snorfles ok i’m off to pick a kiddo up from work and then i will immerse me in the stanford encyclopedia of philisophy…giggles at dirty thoughts.
That’s exactly what I’m reading right now. Tomorrow then.
Thank you for the kind comments Noeleen!
I look forward to your movie. Technically much superior than your previous works! I have a very good feeling about your new creation.

An insightful thought! And one that I will carry with me this week. Thank you, Arjun,
After this week and beyond too, I’ll carefully listen to everything you say!
And I will do the same – it will make for a rewarding conversation. As our dear Henry David Thoreau once said,
“It takes two to speak the truth – one to speak and another to hear.”
Love your posts!
I would love to see close ups of those paintings. Are they paintings??
Mirrors. I’ll take that as a compliment 🙂
True. Good thought.
Thank you!
Nice!
Glad to see you!
Great picture!!!!
Thank you Paulo!
Brilliant photo, enhanced by a great title.
Thank you Michele 🙂
Pictures in picture… stories in a story… and wisdom in the thought you shared. This makes a brilliant post brother.
Thank you very much Ela!
🙂 Would you consider making a shared post with me bro?
Anything you’d like to!
🙂
Arjun, you caused me to pause and ponder. Thanks.
Wow. I’m so glad you’re back 🙂
Be like water as you travel through life’s waterways.
Perfect. Simplified. Thank you!
You’re very welcome! 😀
Thank you for saying that. Much relieved 😀
You sir are developing your inner eye. That inexplicable ability to capture a moment, a picture able to speak more clearly than words.Beautiful. 🙂
I see harmony there… Truly inspiring. Thank you for sharing, Arjun 🙂
Thank you for so much for your kind comment. I’m smiling!
Excellent advice.
Yisraela
Glad you like it!

Wow, Arjun, you gave me a piece of yourself there. A true gift. I’m glad I am following your blog.

This is a great image! Thanks!
Thank you Mark!
LOVE the photo and the words!!
🙂
each mirror has a story,
each must have balance
like life and harmony
beautiful instant
great photo (s), the lens loves to capture the every day life and happiness, now I have to check all of the series on Spinoza’s Harmony
Hello,
Thank you for passing by my blog and have a nice day.
Brilliant.
Looking again at this post for a third time. Yes, this is brilliant. As I said before, you have the fire.
You’ve made a bad habit of pampering me! What will i do if you ever stop? 😉
Not pampering– appreciating and you’d do fine. But I will be here if God wills me to be. Ain’t going nowhere I know of– do any of us know?
That’s true but I can sure pray n’ hope for your well-being and happiness!
And I can pray for the same for you and I do– every day. xx:-)
hmm use of the word defy appears to insist that one has authority over another to impose a will and that a personal harmony, that of the oppressor, will be seen as a lack of harmony, and therefore, to me is not harmony at all
Did I not understand you?
It’s Beltane!!! Must locate a May pole.

almost as if a disharmony is creating a harmonizing feature… xx.
YUP! Binary thinking! How can one win with harmony with no discord to fix nor to conquer!? I think there are more than simply the two–either or.
I agree. Disharmony too is an integral part of harmony, just like good and evil co-exists.
You said it here Pen!
so I did, opposite ends of the spectrum, creating a differing outlook/slant/perspective.
Perhaps, I realize you’re quite distinctly opposite to me, that’s what makes it special or reason to converse, share…

An engaging thought, Arjun… so true.!
Ahaha! LOVE the reflections 😀 and here’s for harmonic change :-*
Love it 🙂
🙂
This photo is wicked cool! And a wise sentence to go with it…
Arjun, this one is really creative!
So much attention !!!
It’s been more than a month and I’ve almost forgotten how to *blush*
😉
This is a great picture 🙂 love the details….
Thank you very much 🙂
excellent eye to details! 🙂
Thank you very much Caoimhe! 🙂

Thx. Fabulously caught (the totality). Congrats!
Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!! Thank you, I didn’t know of that quote. This now changes things.
Then again there’s a discrepancy. It was probably Heraclitus who originally said the above. Hence I had to rise to the occasion 🙂
gawd now i have to
obsess overlook up HeraclitusDo. I was in for a surprise. What I wrote here was before reading him.
I think I just like saying his name!! snorfles ok i’m off to pick a kiddo up from work and then i will immerse me in the stanford encyclopedia of philisophy…giggles at dirty thoughts.
That’s exactly what I’m reading right now. Tomorrow then.
I love that photo, Arjun.
Thank you for the kind comments Noeleen!
I look forward to your movie. Technically much superior than your previous works! I have a very good feeling about your new creation.
great photo! Even as in this picture we see the World in little pieces, trying to put it in a bigger picture.
That’s a remarkable observation. Thank you very much!
