The Architect

Behind every great show, every quality service that you use, all quality fabric you wear, everything that you find up-to-mark and satisfactory, there are several stages of excessant amount of efforts involved. I've learnt this in time that things don't happen just like that; at every level a dedication and spirit is involved and is clearly reflected in the end product. Our nation is not very fond of putting in the hardwork but they want excellent results all the time, hoping that some miraculous force will fill in the gaps for them. All this thinking reminds me of the The Architect. The immaculate nature of this universe clearly reflects His interest and devotion. The wonders of nature are in perfect harmony while anything that man has has invented is flawed and is prone to failure. The concept of money and society is to keep the humans under control, I wonder if there could have been a different arragement of those things from what we have right now (multiple realities, parallel existences, quite right). Nature is the ultimate inspiration for the humans and I think everything we do, for ourself, or someone else; no matter how small, we should do it with full devotion and devoutness.

    Yes, very true. God has made this world and nature very perfect and very well integrated. It has got every thing from backward compatibility to exception handlers to cope with the newest of exceptions. (i.e it worked is working and will keep on working). Surely there are 'Signs' every where for those who believe and inspect.

    Welcome to the pack! Nice entry. Keep it up. I'm reading the other book these days, "Allah is known through reason."

    Is not man himself included in the wonders of this immaculate nature?

    Amazing post and very true indeed!. Glad to know you also believe in parallel existances and multiple realities. I wonder what's my counterpart is doing right now!

    Like Sir noman said : No one is willing to take the responsibility :). We want excellent results but we dont toil for it thats the main problem.

    There's another variable in the game of humankind... and that is FREEWILL!

    To Sarfu:

    When you go deeper and deeper into the concepts of programming, you'll only realize that they get even simpler. All the ideas of object-oriented architecture, service-orientation mechanisms, database systems are borrowed from reality. Learning the way of nature is the key to understanding major concepts of a varsity of disciplines. Its much more than just backward compatiblity and exception handling... sheesh... my thought process is overburned when I think about all the distinct possibilites and the variables associated, sometimes I think its too complex but there are times I think its extremely simple but the direction we think is the limiting factor. Einstein said this for a reason you know: I was born intelligent, but the education ruined me. Stay healthy... stay foolish.

    Free will is another debate in itself. Man, yes, that's the jewel in the crown. It wasnt called ashraful makhlooqat for nothing. Better than the angels.
    And then the point that was made in The Alchemist, too, about discovering vs learning. When we learn, as the novel symbolized learning from the desert, from the sheep etc. We're just discovering things. An infant knows a lot of things. The brain is full of information, it only needs to be discovered.

    To Saqqu bai (that was your codename in the univ!):

    I can't agree more! My dad gave me a good lecture on that once, when I showed him a scene from The Waking Life.

    Self-awareness, freewill etcetera. I gave a presentation on those concepts as well as some scientific stuff over multimedia in your very own lab!

    The existence of Freewill is challengeable!
    In my opinion, our decisions are determined by our understanding and understanding is gifted by nature to us (We all are the part of nature, by the way).

    So I can’t agree on the concept of freewill completely. We do what our understanding tells us. If we look this matter as OOP point of view, we (objects) behave exactly according to algorithm (present in our method) with some past and present states (values) of surroundings. (Interference of other objects’ behaviors can be considered as LUCK :) )

    "Anything that man has invented is flawed and is prone to failure."

    How can we conclude this? There is nothing like flaw or flawless. We do what we are made to do. All credit must go to Programmer (OOP came again).

    Quite a nick, I got! I learnt about that from Adna.
    On free will: Take for example, the earning. You will get not more not less than your allotted rizq. It is your choice whether you want to earn it as halal or haram. So, we do have some amount of free will and in other ways, we are limited. Miracles do happen.
