Relativity

When you sit with a beautiful girl, hours seems like minutes.
When you sit on a hot stove, a minute seems like hours.
How neatly put!!!
Putting little more thought into this, we can see that this concept of relativity can be applied to almost anything in our life. There's no "Absoluteness" in our life.
Am i happy? Sounds like an easy question. Is it that simple? Am i happy.? Well, what would make me happy? Will i be happy if my list of wishes are satisfied? What would be a part of my list of wish? A salary of 30k per month? A gorgeous girl friend? Would you believe if i say that everybody's list of wishes is relative.? I would be happy getting 15,000 salary per month. If and only if all my friends are getting a salary of 14,800 per month!! Sounds crazy? Just think. I would be happy having a Pulsar 200cc model. But consider the gradient of happiness. It would be even more great if i am the first person among my friends to have it. Knowingly or unknowingly, we always have a relative feel about everyhing.

Jus a thought,

Haha thats true.... I will tell you one thing, which you may have never heard before...

Listen close :)

There was a research in Tel Aviv University Israel.
They asked subjects would they like to be the 10,000th audience in the new theatre and win $50 or be the last but one person in the ticketing line and win $500 and the last man in the line will win $1000...
Everybody...I repeat everybody went for the $50 one...


Enjoy the weekend....

If you are concerned about yourself, things are absolute. When you start thinking about others and start comparing it becomes relative. :) Relative and compare have same meaning.
As simple as that.
