Understanding relationships - a perspective

The most important thing in a relationship is neither physical attraction; nor intellect (witty, humour, emotional, thoughtful, worldly-wise etc.); nor nature and behaviour; nor commitment; nor spirituality – it is trust. Not just how much you trust the other person, but more importantly, how much does the other person trust you.

Perceptions, Abstraction levels and contradicting co-existing truths

jyoti: People say that nothing in this world happens without gods consent then why is man blamed for his actions. answer now.

Saket: It's a mix of perceptions and abstraction levels; and the unclarity that results from this results into non-intuitive observations.

jyoti: That is not a clear answer.

Saket: Here it goes. we humans need abstraction to comprehend things.
for example, do you see car as a box?
or as a box with four wheels
or as a things with four wheels, steering wheel, and gear stick
...
or as the mechanical functioning of the engine components
...
or the electron level functioning in the chemical reactions that transform energy and cause movement
...
each abstraction level is correct, but contradicts the explanation at the higher or lower abstraction level.
So, this is understanding that different abstraction levels exist, each offer truth, and such truths co-exist but contradict each other

Now see perception:
Lift a book and face the cover in front you, and the binding to Nayna; and ask her what she sees. She'll probably say that she sees the binding of the book. And now ask yourself; you'll say you see the cover of the book, with some image, with some title etc.
Nayna will politely disagree that she sees no image etc. Both perceptions are true, but again are co-existing contradicting truths.

Looking at it mathematically:
Mx Ty
where, Mx is a mind frame
and, Ty is a time frame

Your viewpoint is Mx Ty bounded at some abstraction level z. People associate with their viewpoint more strongly than other's viewpoints (trapped in Mx Ty and z) and hence the conflict.

Saket: So, by definition of Mx and Ty;
As x changes to be x' - implies different minds will see it differently;
And y changes to be y' - implies your mind with see the truth differently, in past or future.

So, if there is a conflct b/w Mx Ty z and Mx' Ty z' - then that's natural.
Note: i've kept Ty constant

jyoti: that was really nice answer; with a touch of reality

Saket: i'm glad you like it :)
