We come across caravans, carriages, apartments, ferries…
equipped with a range of facilities, making them …self-contained!
As the saying goes…every man is an island…Each one of us
has our own measure of intrinsic motivation, risk aversion, affinity for fellow
travellers, conflict resolution…entropy tolerance… survival skills...probably
making us…self-contained!
Interesting to see how a gentle suggestion from an
associate, a casual remark from an opponent, an acknowledgement from a
well-wisher… or a challenge presented can help us decipher our course of
action. Any signal that finds a seat within is likely to be …self-contained!
I can try to illustrate the pleasure derived by talking to
friend or relation, the frustration caused by certain development, the graceful
walk with the pet, the contentment from a song…beyond a certain point, each
experience is…self-contained!
It gradually becomes clear that each challenge we
accept…each resolve we make…each stone we leave unturned…each laugh we
share…eventually becomes…self-contained!
