inertia

Newton must be thanked. i think he coined the term inertia.
I am too lazy to verify the fact now. Whoever discovered it,
probably saw it work with material objects which are tangible.
They must have seen the motionless objects refusing to move or
moving objects refusing to stop. .
The same analogy works for the mind, i guess. I have tried to blog
about the things I experience as frequently as possible..and yes, I
have the time too. But whenever i open this page, something happens.
I feel like i have to move huge boulders in my cerebrum, revisit my
memory areas, think deeply and ....(i leave it here, i cant think). During
these troubling moments, i just quit. And feel bad about it later.
The retrieval process of events from memory require mental effort, esp.
if they are not very pleasant..to pen them for public is something for which
the world will throw their hats off. The world will stand for you on one
leg if you can do it regularly. And if that happens, people dont stop, they
start blogging regularly although some other important thing may take
backseat in their daily schedule. Maybe it gives them satisfaction...or people's
adulation. Some people claim that blogging gives them the outlet for their
creative energy(Yeah, we've seen them.) . Blogging or no blogging, life goes
on. The benefits and harms of them .... i think that is best left for another
blog, some other day, some other time.

To start blogging, you need to overcome the inertia of the mind. You
will have to roll the stone uphill to the top. Once you just reach there, all
you need to do is nudge it down and have a roll and give it inertia of
thought.

But rolling stones gather no moss.

I still dont know why i penned the proverb above. But if you are willing
and wish to think deeply, just think of an arbit scientific concept and
relate it with the saying... you too can proceed to roll the stone uphill.
