Zen-ing (Poem)

Monkhood 101 is
live in the moment.
feel the power of now
is the trend now.
But I never caught the “now”
couldn’t do it.
time couldn’t prison itself.
zeptosecond missed touching its own tail
despite the free will.
Awareness of awareness is simply the past.
so
all I got is the past with a mask of nowness.
I am here yet not here.
The noble truth is this-
we can only grab the dead time
not the living time.
the living time is beyond
and doesn’t respond.
I cannot stalk time.







Prisons

Crimes are often committed in an unconscious state. Many in fact regret it just a few moments after it was done and it’s established that an individual is less inclined to do evil when he is alone than with a group as association with later decreases his awareness about himself and the emotions of the mind. Hence more awareness is the solution. So, meditation camps, emotional intelligence training, therapy and so on that can better bring sense about his/her emotional state can be effective in dealing with criminalities in our society.


Future (Economics)—1

Resources, Good Governance, Human capital, and even institutional development (Why nations fail by Daron Acemoglu and James A. Robinson) till now to an extent determined the success of a nation and its economic growth and development.

But in the future, I think the “Attention Capital”, that is, the attention capacity and the capabilities of its citizens will tell us the trajectory of the nation. With attention spans falling off the chart to a minimum and some claiming even to be that of a goldfish, the promise of the future is bleak. With people unable to concentrate on their tasks, productivity and prosperity can be deteriorating.

If that’s the case, governments might launch yoga and meditation schemes for the poor in the future and so-called affirmative programs. That’s a hard nut to crack, I guess.

What if the primary skill in future resumes of the employees is the ability to concentrate and sit in a lotus posture for 90 minutes?
and the companies might hire a Spiritual CEO and a guru to guide their gullible employees.
