The image of Ina, PQ was like driving in the forest I find interesting. It affected me for a reason of our lives and weaving: The need for constant adaptation.
Life is never static. Life is change. Our chest heaving life in breathing. Our blood flows for life through our veins. Our nerve cells conduct impulses for life. And from the outside press always, always, always an impression on us, which we must take a position. Time by an unconscious gesture to scare a flying ... But often also through conscious decisions.
The result of any conscious and unconscious appeal, any decision must be some action. Hand movement, jumping, reply, thought. Even inaction is an action within the meaning of the result of a decision.
Every action has a turn on our environment and changes them. You shall have to face us again and calls us to submit comments. So they give us feedback on our actions.
This is not to avoid anything. We, our physical and spiritual structure are inevitable with the overall structure of our environment coupled. Your changes we are changing our changes, they change. It is a lifelong, very intimate dance. And we can not escape him.
However, this dance can end at any time - through our death. Die means with respect to this coupling of the changes that we were not able to change us so as to adapt to changes in the environment would.
That sounds odd at first certainly, but that's only on the abstractness of my formulation. We are accustomed to use the term "change" too concrete. I change when I stop smoking or get gray hair. But change is always and everywhere. Not on such a macroscopic level. It is the same in each institution, in each cell. Constantly.
That's what makes the miracle of our life. That we are the myriad large and small changes in the environment (and in ourselves) long but at least 60, 80 or even 100 years "hug" so that we are so "elastic" are that they do not throw us off track. Without a homunculus in our head, without a central, all-directing and supervising authority.
life is to remain supple, changes follow elastic plasticity. However, we are physically or mentally rigid ... then we lose the ability to adapt. Old bones are brittle
, old stiff joints, old brains "calcified." Ages, ie closer to death, is in fact always been accompanied throughout with images of loss of suppleness.
are Conversely, agility, resilience, soft skin of youth, and therefore for greater adaptability. Adaptability but does nothing more than learning ability. Modified structures are nothing but "memories" of changing influences. One foot in the sand leaving a trace, but the structure of the sand has changed by an "impression". Even if the foot is gone for a long time, we still see the "memory" of him.
same kind of impressions are the hot stove, which we sum up the first kiss, the first disappointment, success in school, the failure of a project. They all left their mark on us. However, these are not just memories, but physically, and / or mental structure changes that our reactions vordisponieren for future impressions. At the next hot stove I behave (hopefully) more careful at the next math test, I am confident, the next person, I'm not that open.
a philosophical attitude now is to help the process as possible for us collapsing impressions. It will help us to learn as much from them and to remain elastic. PQ wants to counter the intellectual ossification to keep us always open to learning.
learning is life.
And a car driving through a forest is also learning. In particular, if you go may blindfolded. Try But the best is not enough. If necessary, you can even run through a forest blindfolded. This is a beautiful experience.
With the car in the woods with a blindfold is only an analogy. An analogy for life. Because in life we can not actually see (w). The future for us in the dark. Just as well, everything is around us in the dark. By this I mean that we, much, if not all can not really see. We can not see the other people really, really, but only a more or less flattened image of him. The same holds true for business, animals, world events, etc., etc. There is even a matter of principle and on the fundamental level of perception. We can not recognize the reality. Nevertheless, we must move
us in it and prove. How can this be? By what our senses, whatever the reality mediate inwardly to an image (model) process from reality and make decisions because of this image, as we change how we act.
We are condemned to check the fit of our picture of the world tirelessly on her. A storm impression on us, we make judgments based on our previous image of the world, we decide to act according to the decisions ... and then see what happens. Only when we feedback get our act in the world, we can say something about the fit of our image of her.
On the analogy transferred by car, this means that whenever we entlangschrubben on a tree, we have received very valuable feedback. Then we know that is where there is a tree. The only way we know something about driving the forest through which we. Once
On the other side of the forest you can describe the forest only insofar as you are pushed against trees. You can not say anything about the forest as a whole. All they know is there something about his character, where you ... failed.
failure thus belongs to life. Failure is very, very valuable feedback. Errors give us invaluable clues as to where we should adjust our view of the world, because it has given us "to run against the error," yes.
This does not mean that we should provoke errors. Of course, a car collision with a tree without the target. When our eyes in the very principle of life but connected to our environment, then we can not avoid mistakes.
This is one of the main theses of philosophical attitude. PQ makes open to error and shall endeavor to maintain the suppleness to be able to learn from them. Changes are part of life, mental states, the changes in the way, are so hostile.
to embrace change, rather than fear them, the PQ is. Accepting the inevitability of mistakes and turn them into something positive, is the PQ.
