On curiosity: Fascinatingly disturbing!
Though we haven’t seen them in our skies yet the fascination for them had always excited in our imagination for ages.
Yes, the road traffic is becoming a big problem but let's be honest even if it wasn’t we still would have gone for the skies.
History records 1841 as the year when first prototype or an idea of a flying vehicle came into existence in form of the Henson Aerial Steam Carriage. Though this model never got made, however, the ball was set rolling.
We did achieve air travel courtesy airplanes soon after but the dream to fly private vehicles remained a distant reality until recently.
Yes, 2020, THE YEAR 2020 amidst all the chaos and confusion did lay the premises for what now seems a real possibility in the next 10 years.
SkyDrive, a Japanese company backed by Toyota concluded the first public demonstration of its first manned flying car SD-03.
SD-03 is the World’s smallest electric vertical and takes the space of two parked cars.
PUN ALERT: The surprising part is that it is not owned by Elon Musk, yes innovations are happening even without him :)
Though a lot has to go into this model there is now a solid foundation to build upon.
They are not the only ones in this race there are few more companies that are aiming for the same target. However, in this blog, we will not be discussing the machines but the minds behind them.
Human curiosity is amazing the quest to explore and go beyond the unthinkable is taking us to areas that were never dreamt of. This curiosity is only bubbling on itself and is not fading any time soon.
The exciting part is that this curiosity exists in every one of us and the saddest part is most of us let it dry out very soon. The question is why?
Curiosity is something that pushes us toward learning and you learn something when you feel you don’t know enough about it.
BAM!
This is the answer the minute we let our ego’s talk us out of our learning spheres we lose this curiosity.
OR, even Worse!
When we lose interest in our own lives and start examining what the other person is doing that also contributes to our creative demise.
It’s really hard to give away such a price possession to our insecurities but sadly this is what most of us are doing, we are trading our fears, our self-control, and our imagination to imagine the future which we should be creating. We must stop this right away.
Imagine the state of mind which is always curious to know the whereabouts of his/her ex all the time.
Which is curiously concerned with what and how others are perceiving him or her.
Which is desperately seeking validations on Social media platforms.
Hah, it's hard! It is hard, I have been there and know about it.
The powerful machine we have in our head is meant to do much more. I am not saying that we must all go out and start inventing different things (though there is no harm in it if we want to) but at least we can give ourselves a chance.
We can allow our imaginative eyes to see the shapes in the clouds like we use to do when we were kids.
Somehow we can find a way to permit our consciousness to connect with our deeper self.
We need to do this not for anyone but for our own self.
Come on, don’t we all want to know what is beneath our skin so that we can free ourselves from it to see the sky in a different light.
So many of us are walking with this burden of unrealized reality thinking that the sky we see is the only sky that exists.
Maybe beyond this horizon exists another dimension that we cannot see or physically feel but can experience creatively through our curiosity?
