There is a kind of subtle depression that comes from assuming you are just going to live in a routine dictated by others. Recently I've gotten into a big programming project.
Programming is somewhere I've always felt at home. Perhaps, cause I've done it from a very early age.
Maybe math was a childhood fling, and programming a life-long committed relationship.
Where I feel comfortable experimenting, playing with the parts, and seeing what happens.
And it helps me take it as an analogy.
Everything - the plumbing in my house, social structures, financial structures we live in,
are just a sum of parts that were made by people, and an interface that interacts with you
that was made by people.
They are not solid black boxes put there by god, where every detail is perfected.
Personal reflections, random thoughts, mostly but not exclusively and unintentionally related to Buddhism and the spiritual path. More specifically, a lot of what is written here is influenced by my practice of Vipassana meditation as taught by S.N. Goenka.
