Facebook Chat Rant.

Ehsanul Majid Mahmud:
Steps to fall in love-
1) Find self respect
2) Love someone
Ahmed Faiyaz Amit:
lol
love 101 from ihshaan
Ehsanul Majid Mahmud:
Astronomy has made me more humble. We are so small in the context of the
universe. And yet we are so bothered.
Ahmed Faiyaz Amit:
each of us make the universe
we're why the universe matters in the first place
Ehsanul Majid Mahmud:
That is the beauty of it, isn't it?
Without me, I have no universe.
And yet, the universe is too immense for me to comprehend.
My mind, my feelings are too immense to comprehend.
Such little clarity between black and white. So much grey.
Ahmed Faiyaz Amit:
like 50 shades of grey?
Ehsanul Majid Mahmud:
Many, many more.
Ahmed Faiyaz Amit:
tor ki hoise
Ehsanul Majid Mahmud:
What is the importance of communication?
We can't live without it
It distinguishes us. It condemns us.
Such is the value of words.
A slight alteration can be a loophole between life and death. Such is the structure we
have set up.
The strength of words.
The weakness of words.
Ahmed Faiyaz Amit:
more than words
its the human thirst
for survival
for attention
or lack there of
Ehsanul Majid Mahmud:
A commitment to love indefinitely... a law to stifle murder...
All contained within words.
Communication that we gave weight and meaning.
And yet, like the universe, words mean nothing without us.
Ahmed Faiyaz Amit:
shetai
its the moment
you either live it
or you dont
Ehsanul Majid Mahmud:
And yet we base so much of the present off of the past.
We carry pain
Ahmed Faiyaz Amit:
familiarity
Ehsanul Majid Mahmud:
We pull forward memories
THE COMFORT OF FAMILIARITY
Ahmed Faiyaz Amit:
what else is there
Ehsanul Majid Mahmud:
The mystery and adventure of the unknown.
But we tie ourselves to our foundations. Family, life, patriotism.
An old house. The old high school building. A car.
A sport, an event, a date, an affair.
We strive for perfection, when we should demand balance.
We shouldn't demand happiness, but a wholesome life.
Ahmed Faiyaz Amit:
you're having an epiphany
Ehsanul Majid Mahmud:
But, like perfection, there is no way to determine balance.
Ahmed Faiyaz Amit:
you should probably write this all down
in your blog
Ehsanul Majid Mahmud:
Write words down so that I can recall them. So that I can share them later on. A
feeble attempt to hold on to a feeling. Can we hold on to feelings? Aren't they
responsive?
Why do we hold on to feelings? Why do they drive us? What is it about the
satisfaction that we derive from admiration?
Ahmed Faiyaz Amit:
admiration
Ehsanul Majid Mahmud:
What is it about the image that we project ourselves?
Ahmed Faiyaz Amit:
attention
Ehsanul Majid Mahmud:
Why is it so important?
Ahmed Faiyaz Amit:
we want belonging
we want to belong to a group
Ehsanul Majid Mahmud:
And when do we dare to be our disgusting, slobby selves in front of some people?
Ahmed Faiyaz Amit:
do we even know who we are
lol
Ehsanul Majid Mahmud:
Do we
Ahmed Faiyaz Amit:
its about the moment
Ahmed Faiyaz Amit:
youve finally stared to understand yin and yang
Ehsanul Majid Mahmud:
For people who are very confused about our origins, we are very courageous.
Theists, atheists and those who simply don't care...
Ehsanul Majid Mahmud:
Isn't it funny?
The norm?
Either-
1) Agree, and be serious.
2) Contradict, and be the outsider.
3) Make the situation light and humorous, deflecting the original purpose.
4) Do not regard the public opinion at all. Neglect. You are too good for such
discussion.
Everything can be categorized.
We are all about expansion and speed now.
Ahmed Faiyaz Amit:
maybe maybe
maybe your opinion matters
maybe it doesnt
Ehsanul Majid Mahmud:
Maybe it doesn't.
Yes.
Does it have to?
Ahmed Faiyaz Amit:
no
Ehsanul Majid Mahmud:
Was Thoreau right?
Is it about sinking into nature again?
Being self reliant?
But what of the romance of cities? About co-dependancy?
Such is the degree of our specialization that people can make a living offering
leisure.
A football player doesn't advance humanity as much as a PhD student in nuclear
physics, does he/she?
But we celebrate these players like we used to celebrate warriors centuries ago.
We are so damn flawed, Amit.
So damn flawed.
Ahmed Faiyaz Amit:
flawed against?
Ehsanul Majid Mahmud:
Our own judgement.
We cannot distinguish between selfishness and the progress of our humanity as a
whole.
Some people can.
But there is, often, a clash of decisions.
We help when it is convenient.
Why am I happy buying my gadgets when there are people starving to death? Is it
really true? Can things get so big, and so out of proportion, that we simply stop
caring?
Why can charity work not be profitable?
There are too many thoughts in my head, Amit.
I bottle them up all day.
Ahmed Faiyaz Amit:
take it easy bro
amake amit dakli
chill
watch a nice movie
Ehsanul Majid Mahmud:
That's something else that bothers me. I am so fond of that escapism.
Movies. No wonder I love them.
Ahmed Faiyaz Amit:
yep
you and i love movies
Ehsanul Majid Mahmud:
Are we that unhappy with reality? Or do we really appreciate it simply as an art?
Ahmed Faiyaz Amit:
reality is overrated

Joseph Kosinski sure as hell knows how to pick his composers.

First, it was Daft Punk for Tron: Legacy. Now, it’s M83 for Oblivion.

A message that should live longer than I do

Let it be known that I love my parents.

They have spoiled me beyond all comprehension. They have never put any pressure of expectations on me. I’ve been free to do whatever I wanted to.

I haven’t told them that I love them nearly enough times. So if you, dear reader, find this message after I take my permanent vacation… please pass it on.

Tell my parents I love them.
