Marco My Italian Friend

Following are some of our Conversations

Conversation 1:

Topic :

• Uniformity & Silence of/in Nature

Me :

> "One Day I thought about a Group of nice red Apples"> All were looking similar a Lot,no difference in color> , taste , or even> sizes ....> But still if You pick One and make lots of pieces of> it, the taste,color> still persists with each piece but One thing that> vanishes by such an> action "The True Beauty".> :: That lies in "Whole" ::> Then I thought a bit more general like "The Whole> Earth".. "The Whole> Universe".... How beautiful they are .. So silent> ...as if they don't> expect anything from us ... Complete in themselves ..> waiting just to> give their "wholeness" to anybody without putting any> reservation to any> "body".... So great they Are , So Rich in their> thoughts ....

Marco :
Nice thought, but I guess everything and everyone has its own universe.If you cut an apple in two pieces, you will lost the "Wholeness" of theapple but will gain the "Wholeness" of the two pieces.

Me :

> Then I thought about Our "Self" .... Often we make so> wrong judgements> about other since we do not or could not get the> "Whole" picture of> others since Time never permits, to have such a deep> thought in making> or putting effort in learning "Whole" of someone.> What we know or just could know is simply what affects> us or something> that attracts us. And nothing above this Layer. You> know when You find> this "Wholeness" in someone "This is what I think> makes a person> confident of ones own" ,A Self that no more requires> any particular kind> of knowledge ... Now the Beauty of Knowledge just> flows in Ones Heart.> "I think its the Mystery of Knowledge".

Marco :

What you call "Mistery of Knowledge" somebody will call it "karma".I have a little piece of paper in my wallet with the explanation ofkarma, I'll try to translate it for you:...this teacher listened the instructions contained in 18 booksregarding the value of the "greater" and the "minor". He never wroteanything about what he learned, and didn't remembered anything, insteadhe completely forgot everything.Later, in real situations he acted following his intuition and theinstructions he received became his personal wisdom. This is the natureof "karma"Although i'm rational, I always carry a bit of karma with me :)

Bye Pradeep, it is been an honour for me to meet such a person like you,I hope one day our paths will cross again. Enjoy your life and take care of yourself, at least until we meet again :)

Conversation 2:

Topic :

• Am I a mad human being ?

Me :

> " Am I a Typical specie ? " .. or " Someone Who can be termed as a MAD ? " Why very often these terms get added to my identity. What do You say ?

Marco :

This is something that happen to me very often. "Freak", "Strange","Mad" and "Geek". People tell me these words often.I think what everyone want is really to be accepted by others. Notbeing alone. To accomplish this, the easiest way is just to act andbehave like everyone. If all your friends wear red shoes it would betempting for you to buy red shoes even if you don't like them inorder to be appreciated by them and by all the people who wear redshoes.People with blue shoes stand out, and standing out is seen as athreat to the group people are part of. Inconsciously, people thinksthat if you wear blue shoes you are mad, that's because you doexactly the opposite as them. What this people don't realize, is thatthere are people with different objectives and interests. I am notinterested in wearing red shoes in order to appear like the others.People find this too diffucult to accept or to understand and foundmuch simpler to label you as a mad guy.Choosing to wear blue shoes unfortunately sometimes leads toloneliness. The advantage I've found is that if you are lucky you canfind some really good friends that don't care about the colour ofyour shoes.In the end, don't care too much if people say that you are"different", just wear the shoes you like and tell people that you'rehappy with it.

Coversation 3 :

Topic :

• Getting tired from/in LIFE

Marco :

I wished I could relax a little but it seems that every day brings new challenges. Life seems like climbing a mountain, you can stop walking for a little but if you don't move for too much time you will freeze. At the same way, if I don't have new challenges for too muchtime I'll get bored and depressed. I think everything in nature is moving, even if it doesn't seem so at our eyes.
