Simulations… complex ones which interact with each other.
Simulation is like scientific research. I would like to explain using an analogy from my field of expertise. When biologists have new ideas about some drug or physiological processes they try them out in different lower organisms, starting from bacteria to yeast, mouse and even monkeys. It is quite usual to find unexpected results. There goes the difference between theory and practice. You’ve to modify your theories. And sometimes you see something which you’ve never thought before.
We all have our own way of looking into life. We have our perspectives, inspirations and dreams and we plan in our own way to achieve them. There are times when alternate options pop up in our way… we choose one or the other or one of the many others. We do calculations, predict outcomes and at the end we decide for one after detailed cost-benefit analysis. But are these analyses unbiased and give the best result? Well, maybe not. It depends lot on who we are, how we’re nurtured, what are our priorities at the moment of consideration and importantly what we want and what is the price we’re ready to sacrifice. What is right now might turn out to be a wrong decision in the long run. Or maybe the result of your simulation is wrong. Even sometimes you realize the side-effects of your choice, which you ignored or didn’t think of, are actually ruining your life. You realize there were lots of loopholes in your previous assumptions which led to erroneous simulation results. By the time you realize it’s already too late. Unlike science you can’t go back to modify your assumptions or change the choices you’ve made. Some prefer to say it Destiny. I would say, “It’s the reflection of the choices you’ve made.”
But things are quite different if you can have real life simulations. And I guess this is the advantage of knowing people from close. You don’t have to do all the experiments with your own life. You see both the positives and negatives from others’ life. And most importantly you realize stuffs which you would have never thought while compiling your own simulation.
Sometimes you get allured into the apparent excitement, joy and happiness. But sooner you realize it’s not the life which you would choose knowingly for yourself… and sometimes you are grateful for the past you’ve left behind.
Not all are prudent to look that far. Very few of those who have the ability are willing to take the endeavour. Again very few of them are ready to accept the truth. To which group do I belong?
A question to be answered by the flow of the fourth dimension…
