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 you know,
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?
