Knowledge: The Ocean and Myself by Aditya Mittal
I am one of many pots and there are many oceans as well. Some oceans, are so vast that if I even attempt to hold a single droplet within them, I will shatter. Other oceans, are so small that they can fit inside me without even leaving a sense of a moist infinitessimal region. Yet, others form the gradients from looking like a drop within me, to filling me up to my neckline ready to spill out at the smallest of my motions. Every knowledge is an ocean, and every being is a pot and vice versa. Some knowledge I hold inside me, while I am immersed in other knowledge. Pots float in the oceans, full of oceans inside other pots. Bubbles inside bubbles, bubbles on the surface of bubbles, bubbles around bubbles, bubbles aside bubbles, air inside and outside every bubble, like a fractal immeasurable lengths, the size of knowledge varies depending on the scale with which it is measured. Bubbles and pots, beings and bubbles, air and water, oceans and knowledge, how much can I comprehend or not comprehend? Some oceans can fit inside another and yet remain distinct, others merge, ebb and flow, it's all a matter of the scale of the droplet of a chosen ocean? or is it chosen? How much of what I wrote could you comprehend? How much of what I wrote could I comprehend? Could you have written what I wrote before reading what I wrote? Are you a pot encapsulating my oceans, or are you a pot inherited from my oceans? Or are you a pot with completely different oceans than mine? Or are you a pot with some of my waters? Or are you a pot? Or are you? Or am I? You or I? You? I? ? . – Aditya Mittal 02/25/2007

Love vs. Success: Rights vs. Duties
go after success and let your love burn, that's love, keep that close to your heart!

success is my duty towards my parents, my community, and humanity.
love is my right, it lives through me, and it brings me closer to my ideals and to god.

A man who breaks when his duties compromise his rights is a coward. A man who does his duties out of fear, thereby, compromising his rights is also a coward.

A real man succeeds through loving. He does not choose between love or success, he strikes the right balance between rights and duties.

What to do to strike the right balance? Act before it's too late. Water is useless for a person who has died of thirst. Never act too early, be patient. First, complete your duties with such spirit, your rights become unquestionable. Once your rights are unquestionable, claim them by any means necessary.

Wage war if necessary but be considerate of your opponent's rights. Do not continue fighting after you have gained your unquestionable rights, unless you plan to eliminate them completely.

How do you know when you've struck the right balance? When your duties begin to respect your rights.
