Stagnation

Stagnation - stillness in time- necessary?? - maybe to feel the moment and live in it - fermentation - metamorphosis - does one think everyone is going ahead of them and they are at a stop sign waiting their turn - or just waiting at a stop sign could be progress too - growing like a crystal....multidimensional...multidirectional....internal....external....time doesnt stop at the stop sign and nor does growth and learning. Am I okay or am I trying to fit okay in the situation.....is there a real okay state measured by certain parameters..? Lots of qns...today morning.....good coffee though...and cake too. 

Just idling the engine for now....or maybe I should shut it off....at the stop sign....till its my turn...

If one feels that everyone is going ahead,does it really translate into 'waiting at a stop sign'?
And does Time move, for us to ponder about its stoppage?

Stagnation is just a sense of 'lack of intellectual stimulation and its movement' perceived by the limited thoughtware the mind constructs at that point of time.

Lookslike I am committing the cardinal sin of sermonizing a lot.

But then, you must write more. :)

I beg to differ slightly Aks - "Stagnation is just a sense of 'lack of intellectual stimulation and its movement' perceived by the limited thoughtware the mind constructs at that point of time" - it isn't just intellectual stimulation and thoughts that make us right? Isn't labeling life as "stagnation" an utter lie? Only our concept of it is... is there really ever a dull/stagnating moment if we are really alive? It can be unpleasant but that is only a part of it.

In fact only a slight alteration brings out a more profound depth to your statement: Stagnation is perceived when, with limited thoughtware, the mind constructs "life" at any point of time.

Intellectual stimulation and lack of impulse do not make us. The stagnation i was talking about is not of Life, but of mind, because it is unable to come to terms with the real concept-translated into life. the unpleasant part, as you said.thats why i said 'sense of' (so, the playground is mind). :)
