Intuition

What is intuition???

A strong feeling that supersedes all logical reasoning and turns out to be right defying all explanation. Right???

No! Wrong!

Our worlds are built around logic…pure and austere…pristine and unsullied.

When we make a decision really fast, each step in the process of thinking overlaps and creates the illusion of intuition. Just like magic…it is appealing as long as you do not know the steps.

Similarly intuition is merely super fast thinking.

It is not a message from a higher power, it is not a message from your heart and it is most definitely not a signal to indicate that you have psychic powers!

I am sure that love too follows an algorithm and it is not impossible to figure it out. But just like magic…knowing the detailed steps would kill the aura and heady feeling associated with it.

So…what’s the verdict?

Let’s continue to pretend that intuition does exist.

PS: Let me add a line that’d make men disagree to this post.

The general consensus is that women are more intuitive than men. Winks!

Once upon a time…[even before the term “Once upon a time” came into existence] human beings used to live in the wilderness. Bereft of the common comforts of life they adapted themselves to suit the fancies of nature. Since Edison was not yet born they had no arrangement for artificial lights at night. So they adjusted their timings according to the whims of the Sun…waking up at sunrise, working till sunset and sleeping “when the night has come and the land is dark and the moon is the only light.”  

Anyway…eons later mankind evolved beyond expectations and the nights are no longer dark. Unfortunately a major chunk of humanity did not evolve as fast as the other chunks. So these people still retain the primitive qualities and due to lack of progress continue to believe that human beings need to wake up in the morning and that the accepted time for sleep is when the night has come although the land might not be dark and the moon is not the only light!

And the hapless evolved set continues to suffer due to the dogmatism of these regressive people. The evolved people need to drag themselves out of bed early in the morning sacrificing the contentment of a well timed sound sleep in order to keep up with the primitive whims of the people who refuse to evolve. And then when it’s night and they are brimming with energy they need to crawl to bed and endure the malaise of a premature sleep.

May be I will start a movement against this…let me know if you have evolved and can provide me support in this…Winks!
