I always wondered if life is about connecting the dots and if it is how does one go about connecting those dots?
Maybe there are two approaches (getting into a bit of elementary geometry here)
1. The Line Approach
Keep connecting the dots in a linear fashion as you move forward/higher. Pretty simple and straightforward approach, just connecting them one after the other.
But hey, looks like we have a bit of a problem here. How does the farthest/highest dot talk to the first dot (the lowest one). Looks pretty cumbersome now.
The first dot symbolizes what we truly started as and the last one tells what we have become. We lost touch with the first dot somewhere as distances between the higher dots and the first dot kept growing.
Maybe we lost touch with our true self !!!
2. The Circle Approach
As in the line approach we start with the first dot but the difference is that the other dots get connected around the first dot growing in a circular fashion.
We might not create a big circle but we surely can create one in which all the dots are directly/indirectly connected to the root/first dot (the same applies to line approach too) but also the distance between the outermost dots and the root dot is not very high.
We feel more in touch with the root dot or in other words more in touch with ourselves !!!
Ah, I remember Mr Amitabh Bachchan saying the same thing in Baghbaan. Life is not a ladder that you climb its a tree firmly attached to its roots that you grow.
Man i make things so complicated (geometry and stuff) :)
