My young,

Biased,

Sentimental mind,

Was adamant.

It made me,

believe that,

Kikuyus in Kenya,

Invented Physics.

This sounded

Real.

And;

No arguments,

Period!


However naive,

this belief was,

it Influenced,

my perception.

It may be,

The root cause,

of my love

for numbers.

Even today,

I enjoy science.


Please,

Is this how,

Belief forms,

grows,

and becomes?


Please pause.

hold your,

horses.

In a little

while,

You will,

understand;

The root cause,

of my belief,

before you,

curse the days,

of my youth.


You see,

My mind,

had just,

learnt,

a new word;

"inertia."

My teacher,

said that,

in Physics,

inertia explains,

the tendency,

of a body;

to resist

change.

during motion.

And one thing,

Leads to another.


Absolutely,


You are right.


This idea,

led to

the invention,

of automobile

airbags.

Thankfully,

Airbags

provide

a timely,

but very

crucial

soft landing.


They stop,

the body's

tendency,

to continue,

in motion,

at the time,

of accident.


Coincidentally,

The Kikuyu

have a

similar word;

"iniatia?"


A keen

eye,

can spot,

the difference.

but the

Pronunciation,

and the

meaning,

is the same,

in both worlds,

of synonyms.


The Kikuyu's short

but very complete

sentence,

is a question.

-Not a

description,

of events.


Whereas,

inertia,

in Physics,

tells what is,

Iniatia,

in Kikuyu,

asks why is.

In the same way

a chick hatches

from the egg

shell,

to discover

a big world,

that we all

live in,

maturity replaced,

the competition,

on my mind,

with a collaboration,

mindset.


Evidently,

the two words

from two

distinct worlds,

and cultures,

form a pattern...


You got it.


Absolutely!


My reformed

mind

realized,

that a collabo,

of the two

words,

collectively asks;

"Why resist change?"


Even after

accident,

or in an

argument,

a pause,

in the quest,

to understand,

The root cause,

Before reaction,

changes,

the equation,

-If not the emotions.


Just like,

the automobile,

speed governor,

reduces the

intensity,

and risk,

under pressure,

understanding,

The root cause,

becomes,

the lightening arrester.


To understand,

The root cause,

of accelerated,

projections,

beyond,

The Unit Square Of Truth;

the 3QT Principle,

wisely states;


Human cognition,

defaults to,

vigilance.

unless and until

safety is assured,

survival systems

prioritize caution.

this is not fear

of the unknown,

it is evaluation.


And that's when

understanding

The root cause,

and everyone's

vulnerability to

3QT,

becomes,

The lightening arrester.


Please,

what

derails

efforts;

the quest

to proactively,

Understand

The root cause,

Before reacting,

to any challenge?
